Hey guys!
It’s been a while, but we wanted to let you know about an exciting feature we released this week: We’re serving your models faster with the new texture quality button: where you control if you see a low res or high res model.
Until now, we always took a cautious approach: low-powered devices would always serve low-resolution textures, even if they might be able to display a higher quality.
With the introduction of our new texture quality button we put YOU back in control! We will still default to a texture resolution that we think is the best mix of performance and quality. But if you want, you can now override it.
Read all the details on the blog: http://blog.sketchfab.com/post/124241170759/serving-your-models-faster-with-our-new-texture
And here’s a quick gif to show it in action:
Enjoy!
Were excited to announce that Animation is here!
We now let you add a new dimension to your models: motion! We know this is one of the most requested features from our community, and we so were thrilled to bring it to you.
We are currently inviting beta testers to upload their animated models with bones or solids in FBX format.
Well be rolling out the feature to everyone soon, for now, we invite you to try it out and help us test it. If you want to take part in the beta program, just sign up here.

Hey guys!
Now that you can embed your Sketchfab models right here on CGSociety, we thought we’d invite you to share your work!
Why Sketchfab?
Well, it’s the easiest way to publish your 3D on the web. We accept over 30 file formats and have exporter plugins from all your favorite software (Blender, 3DSMax, Maya, Substance Painter, Zbrush…). Uploading takes one click and our editor has PBR so your model looks its best.
Then, its super easy to share - just embed right here, on Facebook, or on your own website. It’s as easy as pasting the URL or iframe.
We also support animation so you can show off animated models too:

With our new VR button , Sketchfab is now the easiest way to view your designs in Virtual Reality. You can publish your model to Sketchfab and view it on your Cardboard in under a minute!
Of course Cardboard relies on mobile devices, so there are some extra things to keep in mind. To help you get started, we cover them in our latest tutorial .
Enjoy!

We are very excited to announce the release of our apps for Virtual Reality available for Oculus, HTC Vive, Gear VR and Cardboard as well as initial WebVR support on Sketchfab.
These apps provide a dedicated Virtual Reality experience and make Sketchfab available on more headsets. The apps are a curated showcase of models, and already a great illustration of what Sketchfab + VR means. Our goal is to scale them to let you browse the entire Sketchfab gallery in VR within the apps.
The other great news is that with our WebVR support, you can now explore ALL Sketchfab models in VR not only with Cardboard, but with any VR headset. This now also includes positional tracking on all platforms that support it (Oculus and Vive). And its just a click away from any model press the VR button to get started!
