''Embed Media'' option and unity asset store

I'm trying to finish up my model that I'd like to submit to the asset store, but i'm having problems. From my previous experience, I found that the package cannot be submitted if the ''embed media'' option is turned on when converting the .fbx file. If the option is disabled, I have to manually import textures and assign them to materials. Now, I do this, I put my model into the scene, and I assign the materials to different objects in the scene. But in the project panel, the model does not have any textures assigned, and it would be the same if I submitted the model to the store. I'm not very skilled with unity, and I believe the problem here is quite simple. So can someone please tell me how can I assign the materials to the model in the project panel, before I drop them into the scene?

Thank you for responses.

 

Have the textures saved inside you unity project folder. In your 3d program re-path the textures to read the ones from the the unity project. When you export export your fbx into the unity project and when the models are re-imported into unity they should automatically load materials with the textures attached. There is a material FAQ you can look at.

Depending on how you name your texture I do have beta unity 3d bitmap linker script on my website. Link is in my signature. I usually name my texture by the assetname_map extenstion (_diffuse) so essentially for me when texture linkes get broken in Unity I just launch my editor script, click the model and press link.

For example a selected mesh with the name "box" has a texture named box_Diffuse.tga that needs to be attached. I press the link button in the editor window and the texture gets linked automatically to the model named box.
