    @@TheRealTimeEssentials I import the model with only the default template material (untextured) and do all the texturing and tweaking inside unity. And also the scaling of tile textured applied on imported mesh is kind of off (but this is not much of a problem). And thanks, I googled and watched some tutorials on UV mapping on unity and other software and its kind of tedious (very) to do. In sketchup, i just make the material "projected" pick an appropriate angle and call it a day haha.

    Google image pics are not typically great textures because they are normally photos with the lighting baked in. If you use a normal map that doesn't align with the albedo map, it often won't make sense from a material standpoint. I can explain more if you are interested.
