Thanks for keeping us informed about this, michalis!

Point #2 - you mention joining groups into 1 then deleting doubles. What do you mean exactly? Double what?

Duplicate vertices maybe?

Duplicate co-planar faces?

It seams that collada exporter (or blender importer) duplicates vertices-faces. It also splits meshes in an unpredictable way .
So two-three clicks operations in blender fix all these. Join the objects, remove doubles (vertices)
Merci beaucoup Pilou ! Il y en a d'autres à suivre , j'espère

A fast 10 min sculpting in 3dcoat. A cave like scene
Imported in SU, with UVs and low poly topology ~20k
Download the skp here and have fun

Using podium v2, no bumps etc, but I like this impressionistic mood

You may prefer to download the .3ds file with normal and displacement maps (for thea users lol) Displacement works fine with 2-3 subdivisions. Recommended.
