If you are an artist in the world of 3d, surely you want to share your models so that people can see your creations. Surely you already do, but as a simple 2d image. Well, today I bring you a pthe online platform where you can share your 3d models and that people can see them from any angle, since they can rotate, zoom in or out.

As I have told you, Sketchfab is a web page used to visualize and share 3D content. The company that was in charge of developing this platform was founded in France and today it is located in Paris and New York. Sketchfab provides a 3D model viewer based on WebGL technology that allows you to reproduce 3D models on both mobile and desktop web pages.

The advantage of this online platform or website is that your content may be embedded on other external websites, including Facebook. Sketchfab also offers a community portal, where visitors to the website can browse, rate, and download the public 3D models.

Sketchfab users have at their disposal a page with their profile, and Premium users have an online portfolio dedicated to displaying your 3D creations. 3D models can be uploaded from Sketchfab's own website or directly from various 3D programs, using plugins (for example there are plugins for 3DS Max or SketchUp) or there are programs that allow it to be done natively, such as Blender or Adobe Photoshop.

It was from the end of 2014 that Sketchfab users could choose to share your 3D models available for download under Creative Commons licensesThis feature places Sketchfab in a market dedicated to 3D printing, as some downloadable models are compatible and ready for 3D printing.

The 3D viewer of Sketchfab uses WebGL JavaScript API technology to display 3D models and its construction is based on the open source OSG.JS library.. This allows the display of 3D models on web pages without the need for third-party plugins. The browser supports WebGL. The rendering is achieved using the classic real-time rendering, or also a more current type of rendering known as PBR (Physically Based Rendering). In browsers that do not support WebGL technology, the Sketchfab viewer uses a sequence of 2D images from the pre-rendered 3D object.

Here is an example so that you can see what this web page offers you.
