Sketchfab releases Animation

3

After four months of testing, Sketchfab has just released their Animation support. Animations need to be uploaded as FBX files for now, but support for Blender is coming up, stay tuned!

We’re proud to announce that all Sketchfab users can now publish their animations in interactive 3D, anywhere.

Since the beta launch in August, over 1,000 community members helped us test animation and we’ve been blown away by the animations they published. It was amazing to see how they’ve used it to give motion to characters, illustrate educational concepts or product features and tell stories.

We support different types of animations, such as skeleton-based animation (model rigged with bones), solid animation (translation, scale, rotation), and morph targets (great for animating faces). Each model can contain different animation tracks and loop modes, and users can switch between them while viewing your model.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.
