Own troubles
I picked up a 3D model .psk, pska, .psa from the internet, but I don’t know how to import it into Blender.
This solves the problem
The solution is an add-on that allows importing psk and psa.
This time, I will show you how to import psa and psk files in Blender.
By reading this article, you will be able to import the popular Fortnite umodel 3D model (PSK).
Add-on installation procedure
1. Download psk,psa addon
The explanation is using Blender 2.83.
Download the add-on to import psk, psa into Blender.
