Epic Games’ planned purchase of Sketchfab, announced this morning, is the clearest sign yet that the maker of Fortnite takes AR and VR seriously.
Sketchfab is a New York-based startup best known for its 3D asset marketplace where users can upload and sell ready-made 3D models for use in videogames, 3D animations or AR and VR experiences. Since its launch in 2011, Sketchfab has amassed over 5 million users and become one of the most popular 3D marketplaces next to the Unity Asset Store, CGTrader and TurboSquid.
