Unreal plugin for Windows to browse and import models from Sketchfab.
Please note that a Sketchfab account is required to download models, and that animation import is not yet supported.
Supported versions:
Download the .zip
attached to the release matching your UE version and unzip it into a new plugin folder in your project directory.
If you already have plugins installed, you only need to add a new Sketchfab
directory, otherwise you will need to create Plugins
folder manually.
You should end with this structure: PROJECT_DIRECTORY/Plugins/Sketchfab/[Zip content]
If Unreal Engine is running, you will need to close and reopen it in order to make it load the plugin.
Once loaded, the Sketchfab asset browser is available in Window
menu in Sketchfab sub menu:
When clicked, it opens a window and shows the latest free downloadable Sketchfab models.
You first need to log in with your Sketchfab account in order to be able to download and import Sketchfab models. To do so, use the login button, enter your Sketchfab credentials, and proceed to authentication.
Once logged-in, you will be able to browse free Sketchfab downloadable models from the plugin using search and filters, as well as models you have purchased in the Sketchfab Store.
If you are a PRO user, you can also use the My Models filter to search and have a private access to your personal library of models, which includes all your published models (including the private ones).
Once authenticated, double click on a model thumbnail to display more information.
Click "Download model" to download the archive locally (a small progress bar under the thumbnail shows the status of the download). Then, drag and drop the thumbnail into the Content Browser to import it into your scene: a popup with license info is displayed and must be accepted before importing.
