Integrating Sketchfab In Journals


DeviantART is proud to announce a new partnership with 3D web publishing service, Sketchfab!

Sketchfab, a leading platform to publish, share, and embed interactive 3D content, allows you to bring your 3D artwork to life in real-time without a plugin.

Deviants can now embed 3D models into deviantART Journals using Sketchfab embeds. DeviantART is always aiming to make content on the site more engaging and interactive, and this integration benefits both creators and those who enjoy browsing incredible content.

Sta.sh Writer
  • The "deviantART" tab of the Sta.sh Writer sidebar was not displaying Gallery or Favourites folders. Fixed by inazar

Your Feedback


Thanks for the feedback on last week's Site Update! Here's some of what you had to say:
  • Deviants had various ideas regarding the Save the Date update, but you'll be pleased to know that the announcement wasn't an April Fools' prank. ;) Enjoy Free Premium Membership Day this upcoming Monday!
  • In response to the Discuss topic, some deviants mentioned not following our social channels. However, the deviants who do follow mentioned liking the variety of art shared, and wanting a wider variety of art to be shared as well.
  • AEmiliusLives mentioned wanting to see more posts about art in general, in addition to art posts relating specifically to deviantART.
