We are excited to share that Fab launched today. Fab is a one-stop destination where you can discover, buy, sell, and share digital assets. This is the first step on a long journey, and while very little is changing today for most of the Sketchfab community, weve pulled together some answers to questions you might have below.What is happening to the Sketchfab Store?The Sketchfab Store is now closed. All products previously listed on the Sketchfab Store will remain viewable on Sketchfab but will no longer be available for purchase and model pages will no longer display ratings and reviews. If you were a Sketchfab Store seller and have not already moved your work to Fab, you will need to migrate your products if you want to be able to continue earning revenue from your products.If I was a Sketchfab Store seller and Ive already migrated and published my products on Fab, what do I need to know?If you have migrated your products to Fab, your model pages will remain visible on Sketchfab and will now include a link out to your Fab product pages so buyers know where to purchase your content. All product star ratings that your models may have had were transferred over to Fab from the Sketchfab Store, but Fab does not support comments, likes, followers and other social features, so those items have not transferred to Fab. We will, however, continue to support followers, likes, and viewing statistics for all models published on Sketchfab.On Fab, you will have access to an updated 3D viewer and editor, media galleries, expanded payout options, and the ability to set Personal and Professional tier prices. To help you get settled and maximize revenue opportunities in the new marketplace, were offering 100% revenue share on sales of Fab Standard-licensed products for the rest of the year.If I was a Sketchfab Store seller and I have not yet migrated and published my products on Fab, what do I need to know?You will still be able to migrate your products to Fab well into 2025 and we will provide plenty of notice before the migration window closes. The Sketchfab Store has closed, so you will be unable to make any new sales or earn any revenue on Sketchfab.Can I still access content that Ive previously purchased from the Sketchfab Store?Yes, if you purchased content from the Sketchfab Store, you will continue to have access to it through the Purchases section of your profile menu.Whats happening to free and view-only content on Sketchfab?Whether youre an artist, hobbyist, or member of a cultural, scientific, or educational institution, nothing is changing to your experience at this time. Free and view-only models will remain where they are and anyone who visits Sketchfab will be able to continue accessing them. You can also continue uploading new free and view-only content on Sketchfab as you do today. We will provide plenty of notice before free downloadable content is no longer supported on Sketchfab.Fab will continue to develop into a destination for sharing and managing view-only 3D content. In 2025, Fab will release a streamlined sign-up process for users who wish to only offer free content for download. We also plan to expand support for additional license types on Fab and will update our community when a wider range of licenses become available there.Whats happening with Sketchfabs community features?Sketchfabs community and core features including comments, followers, likes, collections, viewing stats, and more remain exactly where they are today.

Sketchfabs core features remain unchanged. You may continue publishing 3D models publicly and privately with all the same 3D viewer features, using the embedded 3D viewer on external websites, converting files to glTF and USDZ, and using any other features you have access to today. In the future, Fab will offer 3D asset management solutions and will add new advanced features to its 3D viewer.Whats changing if Im a Sketchfab Enterprise customer?Sketchfabs business solutions (Enterprise licenses and Sketchfab for Teams) will remain right where they areon Sketchfabfor the foreseeable future.
