When you import a model, you will also get a folder named 'Material'. In that folder you'll find the material that the model uses. The material is empty however, because the texture isn't in your project.

So import the texture of the model. When it's imported click on the material and drag the texture into the square.

You should probably create your own question for this topic, but I'll try to explain here anyway. Once you have your 1st person controller, you parent your camera to your player (if you haven't already) and remove your camera follow script (if you have one), then, select your camera, and move and rotate it until you feel it is 3rd person.

Select the material in the $$anonymous$$aterials folder. Given that it's now 2017, you'll probably see a big stack of squares; to add color, drop the color texture into the square marked "Albedo."

I have the same problem. Can you please clarify how you fixed it. I have the materials folder and some textures, but when I drag the texture to the Albedo square only one texture shows at a time. Cab please help. Thank you in advance.

I suspect your problem is that you're trying to use one material for multiple textures. Unfortunately, that doesn't work--only one texture per square. If you want to use another one, create a new material for it. It felt weird for me too, but...yeah. That's the way to go.
