Sketchfab portfolio

I was wondering what you guys thought of using sketchfab for a portfolio? It uses html 5 so no plugins required.

I think it's pretty neat, and the portfolio is presented nicely. I managed to get free access because students from my uni asked to be a part of their student program they have going with schools and colleges.

One thing I would like to see is the ability to upload images/video links onto the portfolio. I have created some environments in UDK and CryEngine so I'd also like to display them somewhere within the portfolio.

I suppose if you're into characters or want to show off individual assets, I think it's a unique way to showw off your models.

Chrome / FF only it seems. Couldn't get it to run on Opera, Safari and IE since they don't do WebGL by default. It doesn't even display static images. Unless they know that they're supposed to use Chrome/FF then some people might dismiss your folio right away - i.e. same issue Flash folios have ("What? I have to install XY to make it work?"). It's also a tad slow = and no progress bar - did it crash? still loading? maybe I'll just skip this piece and move to the next? (that's not really what you want that happens if somebody reviews your folio!)

If you really want WebGL then have it as an extra, in addition to your regular folio images.

Ah ok. I'll probably just embed them as part of a regular site instead then. Thanks.

I think you've got a very good point Kwramm. I think Miklas' portfolio is a great example of using both images and embeds: http://karolmiklas.com/
