We are super happy to announce that you can now embed your 3D models in a forum post using Sketchfab.
What is Sketchfab?
Sketchfab is an in-browser interactive 3D model viewer, you don’t need a plugin and you can make an account for free.
How can I show my stuff?
Create a free account with Sketchfab
Upload your model, Sketchfab supports a huge list of formats .
You can also publish directly to Sketchfab from the Unity editor with the exporter available on the Asset Store for free.
More instructions on how to export from Unity are available here
Now all you need to do it copy the URL of the model.
Then in a thread or post click the “add media” button and enter the URL and hit “embed”
Voila! You can view models by pressing the play button while still on the forum thread!

Show us your stuff in this Sketchfab showcase thread
If you find an issue or bug with the viewer on the forums, send me a PM with a repro.
If you have issues with Sketchfab itself, send an e-mail to support@sketchfab.com

…Is it just embedding a (really low framerate, low resolution) spin-around render of the model? Am I misunderstanding something?
For a forum for a company that has 3D webplayers and WebGL code coming out its ears… I’m honestly surprised/disappointed this is not actual 3D.
Unless it is and I’m not seeing it somehow.
It is actual 3d. What makes you think this is just a low res render?
(edit) I see - it’s a fallback for people without WebGL. Smart.

Sketchfab is based on WebGL, so if you are just seeing a spin-around low-res render, it probably means you don’t have WebGL enabled in your browser
Can’t wait to see what you guys will upload to the showcase thread!

That’s too amazing for words. Great job!
Wow thanks, this is a really great improvement
Great addition and it works quite nicely for me.
Thank you guys for the kind words, we are excited to see you enjoy the addition. Who is going to be the first one to inaugurate the Art Thread ?

This is beautiful and cool stuff,
I just wonder, if unity could embed youtube, vimeo, sketchfab in the forum, why don’t we just also embed Unity’s own webplayer in forum anyway

We have discussed internally and continue to do so but it’s a little more tricky.
Is it possbile to embed “videos” from www.gfycat.com?
Unity webplayer embed will be really great!!!
Hello there,
We are excited to announce we just added Oculus support , so now any model you publish on Sketchfab will be Oculus-ready, on top of being embeddable here!
