VARTISTE Adds Sketchfab Import Integration

We’re pleased to announce that VARTISTE, a virtual reality drawing and texturing app that already offers direct upload to Sketchfab, now supports the import of Sketchfab models into the app.

VARTISTE is an Open Source project that can be used on desktop or mobile devices but is designed for VR headsets that support OpenXR. Users can import both free Creative Commons licensed models and models that have been purchased from the Sketchfab Store and then paint directly onto them, automatically assigning materials to the appropriate PBR textures.
