Showing us all the new things in a cooler way?

[r4pt0r]

At the bottom of this link: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/misc.php?do=bbcode There is an embedable feature called "Sketchfab" that shows 3d models. It seems pretty neat and I was wondering why I've never seen it used on the forums. Maybe it could be used to display new or work-in-progress parts, or maybe the new femkerbals?

I've seen it used a few times, mostly by WIP part makers.

I'd use it loads if there was a '.craft to sketchfab' tool on the forum (which was easy to use)

Every craft I upload would have it in the OP...

What, you've never accidentally flung a stage and six kerbals completely out of the system at a significant percentage of lightspeed?

Only people I've seen use it are modders, outside of Squad showing off that the forum can embed it.

I would really like to display my crafts with this, but it seems like a lot of 3D converting to make it work with colours and such.

It is a bit of a pain to get textures to work. More on what I used here:

If there was a simple programmatic way, then I'd build it into KerbalX.com so every craft on there would have one, that would be amazing! We'd need a service that could load every single mod and stock part in existence into blender though, so....problematic!
