Fab is a one-stop destination where you can discover, buy, sell, and share digital assets, and it’s now live!
Fab is the successor to the Unreal Engine Marketplace and Sketchfab Store, and the new home for Quixel Megascans. This new open marketplace supports all types of creators with content for use across Unreal Engine, Unity 3D, Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) and other digital content creation tools. Unreal Engine developers can access Fab directly in the Unreal Engine 5 Editor, and Fornite creators can discover Fortnite ready assets through Fab in UEFN. The Fab integration in UEFN is undergoing maintenance and will be back online shortly, and the Fab integration in the Unreal Engine 5 Editor is coming soon.
Head over to Fab.com today to discover an enormous offering of high quality, real-time-ready game assets, environments, VFX, audio, animations, characters, plug-ins, and more.
Read on to learn more about what you’ll find on Fab today and to hear what’s coming to Fab in the future.
Find it on Fab
Fab offers content compatible with multiple game engines, a wide variety of asset types, various licensing options, and more. Today on Fab you can:
- Browse our extensive content library that includes top-quality 3D assets, VFX, environments and more from amazing creators and studios like KitBash3D, Dekogon Studios and Leartes Studios.
- Use ‘Channels’ to find content compatible with Unreal Engine, UEFN and Unity.
- Choose the license that meets your needs. Fab offers a Creative Commons license and the Personal or Professional tier of a Standard License. The Fab Standard License enables you to use the assets, including Megascans, in any game engine or tool you want.
- Acquire the Quixel Megascans library for free through the end of 2024 – free for use with ALL engines and digital content creation tools. With one click on this new page, you can claim over 17,000 Megascans, including 10 packs with brand new scene files from Quixel. And be on the lookout for free sponsored content from Quixel and other creators on Fab.
- Make informed decisions about what you want to download or purchase. Inspect 3D assets with Fab’s next-generation real-time 3D viewer to know what you’re buying before you make a purchase. You can also see on each product details page if a product was created with the help of generative AI, and you can use filters to include or exclude generative AI products from your searches.
- Find assets that are right for your audience. Mature content is allowed on Fab.com but individuals whose parents have enabled age rating restrictions using Epic’s Parental Controls will not be able to access Mature content. You have the option to ‘show,’ ‘blur’ or ‘hide’ Mature content on Fab. As a reminder, Mature content cannot be used in UEFN since these assets exceed Fortnite’s maximum age rating.
- Redeem a free 6-month subscription for Adobe Substance Painter and Modeler. Find out if you’re eligible here.
What’s next
We have ambitious goals for Fab and today’s launch is just the beginning. Over the coming months we‘ll continue improving the user experience, adding new content and shipping new features. We plan to introduce new file formats including Roblox and Minecraft assets, access to MetaHumans, a new listing review system, product specific FAQs, a pipeline to make it easy for creators to publish content directly from UEFN to Fab, and new analytics to enhance the seller experience.
In 2025, we’re making a cross-section of the Megascans library free to all users regardless of which engine or platform they are using. This starter pack will contain more than 1,500 hand-picked assets, including a variety of popular 3D assets, plants, trees, surfaces, decals, imperfections and the 10 packs Quixel released on Fab’s launch day.
What’s next for free and view-only content on Sketchfab?
If you offer free content and view-only models on Sketchfab, nothing is changing to your experience at this time – your models will remain where they are and viewers will be able to continue accessing them on Sketchfab. You can also continue uploading new content on Sketchfab as you do today.
With Fab, our goal is to bring together the creative community and provide a way to share, discover, buy and sell assets all in one place. There are many companies and organizations that use Sketchfab as a service to store and share content, and we’ll continue supporting these functions until we have alternative options ready. We’re working on a streamlined account creation process for creators who do not intend to sell, expanding support for additional license types, and creating a pathway to support free and view-only models on Fab in 2025. We’ll share more details with the Sketchfab community as soon as we have plans in place. We won’t make any changes to these functions until we share the plan with you and give you plenty of time to prepare.
We hope you will join us on this journey to create a community and marketplace for all your digital content needs. Head over to the Epic Developer Community and follow us on social media to stay up to date on future Fab news.
We’re aware of a few things that aren’t working as expected at launch. We’ve documented a list of known issues here and we’re currently working through each of these items. And if you have more questions about what this means for Sketchfab, head over to this “what you need to know” blog.
