Imported Models become puffy
I'm new to Unity, and for an early project, I am making a simple scene with some basic Octahedrons that I'm looking to build my world with (Octahedrons tessellate, so it ends up looking fairly interesting). I built my octahedrons in blender, and they were looking perfect. They were nice and sharp.
I imported them into Unity, but they ended up looking puffy. I joined a bunch of my octahedrons into a larger landmass to make sure that everything is flat and connected in blender, but in unity, each individual octahedron looks puffy, almost like bubble wrap.
Its not a big problem, its just annoying. I figure it has something to do with my lighting options, but I just hadn't had time to mess with it. I suspect its a simple fix, I'm just not experienced enough to be able to notice what I did.
EDIT: The left of the picture is what my mesh looks like on the left; it is just two groups of octahedrons. The right is it with Unity. I know the soil texture oddly enough looks too muddy on the right side, but I'll tweak that later.
Its hard to tell what may be wrong without seeing it, can you post a picture?
It sounds like it could be a problem with normals, try putting the normals shader from here on the object and see if it is a solid color
Setting the Normals to calculate did the trick! Thanks! I knew it wasn't too complicated!

At the object's import settings:
Try setting both Normals and tangents to Calculate.
