Create your pro 3D portfolio website with sketchfab.me

Sketchfab

Hey Polycount folks,

We just released http://sketchfab.me, a service to create your pro 3D portfolio website, powered by Sketchfab. It offers a slick and responsive interface to showcase your models, with easy setup from your Sketchfab dashboard. It also comes with a new addition: an image-based fallback which automatically generates a 360° view of your models when WebGL isn’t available. Here is a video demo: https://vimeo.com/62325074

The service is free for students, and we have a limited special offer for the 100 first subscriptions: get 2 years for the price of 1.

If you are a 3D student or 3D teacher, feel free to reach out to support@sketchfab.com so we can add your school to our list of partners.

Cheers,

The Sketchfab team

Seems really awesome! I would love if it had the option to turn on just grey shaded on your model, just show the normal, just the diffuse and just the spec much like in the Edit tab you can show the wireframe.

Also, is it possible to import looping animations? Say you import an animation that loops and you can rotate that in 360 degrees while it loops through the animation? That would be amazing.

Anyway, looks really cool.

Sketchfab

@Autocon Glad you like it! We will add new display features like wireframe or grey shaded model in a second release. As for animations, it is on our roadmap, stay tuned!

looks cool like autocon said, will check out

Cool stuff! I think people have been waiting a long time for a 3D viewer that just works without any plug-ins or crazy complex work arounds. There have been a few that have gotten pretty close but ultimately fail for a handful of reasons.

1) Requires plug-ins, which this didn't seem to do.
2) Slow loading, this went pretty fast.
2) Lack of view configuration such as
- Background color, white backgrounds tend to cause "snow blindness" black backgrounds tend to rob the silhouette, a nice mid-tone grey is normally a good balance. Letting the user pick the background color or even specify an image, even better.
- Wireframe overlay (which could be handled with a material change?)
- Shader support? Spec, gloss and normal maps are pretty standard.
- Custom lighting? Even a few presets like night, sunset, high noon mid morning, would help people show off their models in the best way possible for that model.

Is it possible to embed this stuff on my own site? Like youtube videos and such.

Sketchfab

@Snader: yes, you can embed this on any webpage, even facebook, just check http://sketchfab.com/faq#embed, and hopefully you will be able to embed on Polycount soon like here: http://www.polycount.com/2012/12/16/sketchfab-to-offer-unlimited-uploads/#more-11516

@Mark Dygert: thanks for the feedback! Actually we are releasing new backgrounds and custom backgrounds this week. The viewer already offers a wireframe overlay option on Sketchfab. We support a variety of shaders, and multiple materials, and are working on custom lightings. This week's release will also bring HDR environment reflection.

@CrazyMatt: awesome model, we'll staff pick that!
