KitBash Acquires Sketchfab and ArtStation

Whether you’re building games, VFX, film, television, commercials, visualization, or emerging media, our goal is to help you create better work, faster.

 

We know that building worlds is only one part of your process, though. You also need places to find inspiration, share your work, and connect with the community. That’s why we’re excited to share that ArtStation and Sketchfab are moving from Epic Games to join KitBash, expanding our portfolio of creative platforms that includes KitBash3D and Greyscalegorilla.

A More Connected Ecosystem

“ArtStation and Sketchfab are go-to platforms for artists to share and manage their art. KitBash will expand opportunities for artists at every stage of their creation process to connect and showcase their work in new ways,” said Bill Clifford, SVP of the Unreal Ecosystem at Epic Games. 

Together with ArtStation and Sketchfab’s art publishing and discovery platforms, artists are supported across the creative process from bringing ideas to life to sharing their work and building their careers. 

“We’ve always believed that the right tools can expand what’s possible for artists, helping them turn concepts into entire worlds,” said Banks Boutté, Co-CEO of KitBash. “ArtStation and Sketchfab have long been places where artists share their work, find inspiration, and connect with one another. As these communities come together, we see more ways to help artists find inspiration, bring their ideas to life, and share what they create.”
