Is there any proper tutorial available about setting material to model? Like grass or parkett.
Setting up materials in Skindigo is easier than you'de expect. In fact, soeasier for me, that when I first started out, I made it more complicated than neccesary.
The important thing to keep in mind when working with Skindigo is that there are really two kind of materials that you are working with. The SU material and the indigo material. Throught eh skindigo interface, you associate a su material with an indigo material.
The first step is your su material. Its very simple. you only have to choose a color. You can think of this as your diffuse channel. Depending on the material type (I'll get to that in a minute), this color can only be used to differenciate the materials in your scene or it can actually affect the look of your material. Note that you can choose between 3 methods of color selection (use the drop down menu.)
Once you've got your su material, you need to creae an indigo material to associate with it. This is where the magic happens. Go to plugins => skindigo => material editor (top bar) and the material editor pops up. Or you can simply double click a su material. Once there, you can choose what type of material you want (click the drop down menu.) You can download example from the material DB and see how they are done.

actually this isn't how it's done, not really.
you can use any skp material and it gets exported, you don;t need to apply a color and then apply a mat or anything like that.
this is the biggest, and I think one of the best, differences between Skindigo/Indigo and Maxwell or Fryrender.
there is a tutorial, it's a little old but it shows the basics-
do a search
