The new download API from Sketchfab will make things considerably easier for developers in the future. It makes it possible to pull Sketchfab content with a Creative Commons licence directly into an application or game engine.
The company also offers a free import plug-in for Unity, Unreal and Godot, allowing content to be searched directly within the engine itself. All models can be filtered by type, popularity or polygon count.
The plug-in is currently available for Unreal Engine 4, Unity 5.6.4+ and the custom build of Godot—the regular build will also be supported in the future. Sketchfab also plans to integrate it into other common programmes such as Houdini, Modo or Substance in the coming months.
All plug-ins are free. You can find the download HERE.
