We’re proud to announce that all Sketchfab users can now publish their animations in interactive 3D, anywhere.
Mech Animation by Artem Shupa-Dubrova on Sketchfab
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.
“Sketchfab shows all my animation,
not just from a single viewpoint.”
Grace Rodriguez, 3D character animator
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.

Publishing an animation is simple: just export your animation from any 3D application to an FBX file and upload it to Sketchfab. If you use 3DS Max or Maya it’s even easier, as our free exporter plugins for these applications already support animations (and others will follow). Learn more on the Help Centre page on Animation.
“Animation provides so much life to the characters we’re making. Being able to show that in an easy way is amazing for us.”
Robin Kocaurek - Artist at Klonk Games
