# Sketchfab Plugin for Unity
2+
3+
*Browse, import and export assets between Unity and Sketchfab*
4+
5+
*Based on khronos' [UnityGLTF plugin](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/UnityGLTF), the fork is available [here](https://github.com/sketchfab/UnityGLTF)*
6+
7+
This is a mirror repository for release only.
8+
9+
***Supported versions**: 2018+ (LTS) (2019 LTS is recommended as it uses the updated UI for which the plugin has been updated)*
10+
11+
A Sketchfab account is required for most of the plugin's features (you can [create one here](https://sketchfab.com/signup))
12+

14+
## Installation
15+
16+
Download the [latest release](https://github.com/sketchfab/unity-plugin/releases/latest) and import it like a regular Unity Package by double clicking on it. The plugin will be imported into your Unity Project inside `Asset/Sketchfab For Unity`.

26+
**Available in menu: Sketchfab/Browse Sketchfab**
27+
28+
Browse, download, and import Sketchfab models directly into Unity editor.
29+
30+
You have access to:
31+
* more than 500k free downloadable models under Creative Commons licenses
32+
* models purchased on the [Sketchfab store](https://sketchfab.com/store/3d-models)
33+

34+
35+

38+
39+

40+
41+
#### Asset Browser UI
42+
43+

50+
51+
##### Import options
52+
53+
The model will be imported in your project directory and merged into a prefab.
54+
55+
You can choose where to import the data in your project by setting **Import into** option. This parameter is set to `Assets/Import/{model_name}` by default (as shown in the screenshot).
56+
57+
You can also specify a **Prefab name** for this model, and also choose to **instianciate the model in your scene** immediately after the import.
58+
59+
Click the "Download model" button to start the operation which will first download the glTF asset of the model, and then import it into your Unity project.
60+
61+

75+
* animations or object handled by custom scripts
