I'm suggesting the Devs of this Website to Add 3D viewer like in Sketch fab, I don't mean to steal the idea, But rather to increase Truthfulness, because it is likely that someone uploads a model different from that one in Preview images

On one hand:
Means more work. Do a nice Sketchfab viewer setup for each model and simultaneously on CGT too, apart from making preview images. I wish you much luck with your time-management dude.
On another hand:
Actually, really a good idea. For sure better as the dumb Turbosquid copy thing with verification of models data that, actually, still does not work at all, and most probably won´t never ever. Principally, it would be nothing else as to bed in Marmoset Toolbag files, but who knows how hard CGT could manage to make our Fbx files embedable on their viewer. They struggle already with the AI search, and the new verification, from the POV of development.
However, I noticed by the way that the trend in presentations todays on CGT goes aways from interactive MT previews.
I suppose it´s caused by the fact, that we all have much less time as before. Everything became much more time expensive today (work and private).
Summary:
I like this idea very much, but I doubt people will find the time to make the setups additionally to creating their mandatory preview images for every model,. And it´s mandatory to have mtliple storefronts on different platforms to make a halfway noticeable ammount of money, thus, I doubt CGT could implement this feature in a satisfying and time saving way for the vendors.
There is a 3d viewer here on CGT and by the looks of it, it's working just fine. Example: https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/aircraft/private-aircraft/cessna-208-caravan-3cc9461c-b2d5-4f39-9a17-ae8bce04fb5b
The main problem is that model can be stolen within seconds. Of course for some artists this isn't a problem.
Tobias, this is just a Marmoset Toolbag viewer file. It means additional work, you must create a setup in Marmoset Toolbag, so it is exactly what I wrote about, more work per model.
I used to have such viewer files implemented here on CGt but reached a point where it was just too much time effort.
"But rather to increase Truthfulness, because it is likely that someone uploads a model different from that one in Preview images" - contact the support, ask for refund on the basis that preview images are significantly different from what's downloadable, almost certainly your request will be 100% granted, problem solved.
thats nice but adding 3d viewer will also slow down the performence of the site and it also affects stealing 3d models from the page
hare is the only way of 3d viewer is marmoset viewer and its paid
Yes agreed
