Material has milky overlay
I'm fairly new to Unity, having majorly worked with the Unreal Engine and Source Engine in the past, doing my 3D Art with Blender. I'm just working on a sort of playground project and ran into this odd behavior once I started to put a little more effort into my materials: (no lights, low ambient, all material shaders are set to Legacy/Bumped-Diffuse and consist of only a diffuse image. Only the floor material has been altered:)
Any idea where this odd milky overlay is coming from?
I actually made a bug report on this, not in the same words though I called it a fog, lol.. Seems almost like the same affect you get when viewing an old flatscreen from the late 90s early 2000s, looks fine from head on, but from the side has a white appearance.

I found out it was the skybox of the scene reflecting off the materials. It all makes sense now.

I don't see a milky overlay on the whole material. I see your grid overlaying it though. What happens when you press play?
It looks exactly like this in game mode. The reason behind it was the skybox settings though ;)

Go into window, then select lighting, in the lighting dialog, uncheck everything that says GI in it

Well I was playing around with it and found another work around, if you don't feel like messing with GI settings, just add your diffuse texture to the occlusion box on the standard shader as well and it ignores GI. It also gives better results if you add the same diffuse texture on to the Secondary Detail map as well.
