Sketchfab's web site

You can now export your 3D models directly from Blender to Sketchfab. Sketchfab is a web platform to publish, share and embed interactive 3D content, anywhere online. Sketchfab supports native blender files, along with your textures, normal, bump and specular maps, lights... and displays your work in real-time in the browser, without the need of any plugin. The Sketchfab 3D viewer can be embedded on any web page, as easily as a YouTube video.
