How to import Splatoon 3 Models into blender WITH Textues

I am honestly at my wits end with trying to import switch models into blender.
I am currently attempting to make my interpratation of Adult male and Females of both inklings and Octolings from Splatoon, using their models from Splatoon 3

but the core problem is that I cant get all the textures to be applied to the model itself. and I would do it manually but 90% of all texture images are abbrivations of formats I can not, for the LIFE OF ME, find ANY INFORMATION about

I just want to get in and start modeling, but I just need the textures to be applied correctly
if ANYONE Knows how to import Nintendo Switch Models into Blender 3.0 and have all the major texture files applied?

Unfortunately, sharing information about ripped game models is against site policy here. So, the discussion here will of necessity have to be a bit abstract. That being said, we should still be able to help you-

I’m guessing, just off-hand, that most of the textures you’re encountering are either TGA or DDS files. Both of which can be imported into Blender normally, just like any other image

It’s no secret that with a little bit of internet black magic anybody could find models with even using PNG images… of course it’s against copyright laws in most countries to use them… or those findings are even a trap. So please don’t show them or anything made from this here because we want this site to use in the future. So there will be no link here or even any uploaded data.

Anyway if you want to model this on your own then this is fan art… and you may learn something about 3D modelling, textureing and even animation…

What do you mean by TGA?

TGA is an image file format, so is DDS. I suppose I should have clarified - what are these texture image formats you can’t find any information about? Regardless of what they are, you can add them to an image texture in Blender with the Open button here:

Some more information would be helpful here- can you add screenshots of what your models are currently looking like?

can I DM them to you?
