We've been shipping many features over the years aimed at allowing community creators to receive a share of the rewards, and in the past, they've been received well. We've done this because it's clear we didn't understand exactly what we were doing. We talked to the team at Bethesda and they agree. For anyone who spent money on a mod, we'll be refunding you the complete amount. We're going to remove the payment feature from the Skyrim workshop. The Sketchfab preview can also be inserted into Steam Community Discussions, Announcements, and Greenlight submissions. Once your item has been posted to Sketchfab and you have a page on their site, you may enter that URL in the new field provided in the Steam Workshop when editing the screenshots and videos for your item. To include a Sketchfab preview, you’ll need to create a free account on Sketchfab’s website ( ) and upload your model there similar to how you go about posting a video to YouTube. This can be used to provide an interactive 3D presentation of your model, scene, or item that users can zoom, pan, or rotate around to get a better view of your submission.

Here’s an example from johnskyrim’s Doomhammer, a Skyrim weapon mod: When preparing the Workshop page for your mod or item, you now have the option to include a 3D Sketchfab preview of your item along with your videos and screenshots.
