Sketchfab

[Rhys Davies]

Looks like sketchfab is having issues with uploading blender files, any tips on getting it to work?

[Pascal Schovanez]

I never heard of anyone uploading a complete blender file to sketchfab before.
Granted I hardly use the site, but from what I remember people usually upload exported meshes (i.e. .FBX, .OBJ, etc.) files to it.

So if your trying to upload a model, try that instead.
If its a whole scene… then maybe someone more experienced in using the site can help.

People seem to be going over the issue with uploading different types of formats. Sometimes OBJ works, if not FBX, if not STL and soon.

I don’t know, but I am having a problem with Sketchfab. now how to submit work?

You may want to try using the Addon: https://github.com/sketchfab/blender-plugin/releases

Also it seems to work if you open your file on a Blender 3x version and export from there instead of a Blender 4x version.

Thank You!!

Is there some other way than Sketchfab to upload files for review. I have had problems with them before. Otherwise I’ll just bag this lesson and go on to the next. 

[Omar Domenech]

No don’t bag it, you’re going to want your badge icon and you’re 100% course completion stat. There is no other way than Sketchfab I think, meaning there’s other website that you can embed? I’m not sure. But you can try it, Sketchfab seems to like other formats and also if you save in 3x versions of Blender. If Sketchfab is miss behaving, then upload and image with a composite of the shark sculpture from many angles. Perhaps that could work as well.

Thank you Omar.

It seems that the only way to submit is to use SketchFab. I have a turntable submission on YouTube but can not enter that URL in the supplied box. Why does the instructor insist on using SketchFab?

It’s the best way to inspect the sculpted model, looking at it in 3D with the Sketchfab website. Your turntable looks super great, it’s an excellent result. Ok do this then, paste a link to whatever sketchfab model, so the website accepts the link, doesn’t need to be your shark. Put the comment here that you have submitted and it can be a passed, since we already saw your result.

I also encountered an error uploading the blend file to Sketchfab.

Seems like uploading with FBX format has (mostly) worked.

[Ashlee Ofarrell]

I had an issue too and what finally worked for me was importing my model into an older version of blender (3.0.1) and using the Sketchfab addon

[Jessica Gasper]

couldn’t upload either. I even added the sketchfab add-on but it couldn’t process the image. I uploaded a PNG of the shark into my projects folder. Hopefully by the end of the week I can get this figured out
