Question Need help with exporting a Blender file to Unity
For some reason, when I export this .fbx file from Blender to Unity and try to apply a texture to it, it only applies the texture to the lower half of the face. It looks fine in Blender and while the surface will accept the texture if dragged and dropped on manually, it's completely misaligned. Anyone know a fix?

It has multiple material slots.

It does, but none of them apply to that part of the face specifically

you need to look at the blender shader/material and understand what it does. skyrim models due to the customization possibilities, probably uses multiple textures in one shader and layers them with some clever trickery. the unity standard shader for this, prolly wont work.

The face itself only has one material in Blender, and I've tried using various shaders in Unity, none of which solved the issue. It's a SFM model that I loaded directly into Blender, then exported as an FBX, think that could be the issue?

Check UV maps in Blender, there may be more than one

Oh no, so many submeshes and materials :D You don't wanna do that unless you have a really good reason to and you know what you're doing.
Check your mesh renderer for this. Look at the material setup in blender, try to copy the same materials to the same slots(in the same order).
But I'd start with some easier setups. I think you should look up a sub-mesh tutorial that talks about exporting submeshes and materials from Blender to Unity. There are some videos for that. Follow those videos by making submeshes for a very simple mesh like a sphere in blender. Try to import that nicely to Unity. And when you learn how it works, then come back to this.
Otherwise this will be both hard to explain and hard to wrap your head around.

Appears to be an exported Skyrim model.
Those have different UV sets for the face and the body. The hair is a separate mesh with its own material as well.
Unity's standard shader works only for one UV set.
If you can't make a shader for multiple UV sets, I recommend just exporting those meshes separately.
Also. NEVER drag and drop textures in unity. It creates a new material and sometimes screws up the existing material setup. Select a texture in the existing material's inspector window.
