Tips and Tutorials

Publishing your Oculus Medium model to Sketchfab

Sketchfab Master Vlad gives a short summary of how you can bring your VR artwork from Oculus Medium to Sketchfab and share them with the world.

Exporting from Oculus Medium and uploading to Sketchfab takes only a few clicks thanks to the intuitive interfaces of both platforms.

On your support hand controller hold down the yellow menu button, select “File” then and select the “Export” option. In the export menu from, you can tweak some settings and decide on the output format. Oculus Medium gives you the option to reduce the poly count before generating an .fbx or.obj from your sculpt. Use the slider or the percentage buttons to decide on a decimation level. Try to keep a balance between level of detail and poly count so the file is performant and lightweight on your target platform. If you want your model to be displayed with Sketchfab’s AR viewer it is recommended to keep poly count to a minimum. Your FBX or OBJ file will be saved to your Oculus Medium folder: Documents/Medium/Sculpts/User/the recent sculpt Go to Sketchfab.com and hit the upload button, select your file and wait for the Sketchfab servers to do their magic!
