How Should a 3D Artist in Spain Combine Blender Work, Sketchfab Models, and Game Assets?

A 3D artist should give each finished asset or coherent asset pack one portfolio card, state their exact contribution and present use, and link to the destination that best proves the work at review quality.

A render proves appearance, Sketchfab can prove an inspectable model, and a marketplace page can prove a maintained product. The portfolio must explain which destination matters and whether you created modelling, texturing, rigging, lighting, or the complete asset.

Which 3D projects belong in the portfolio?

Include finished pieces, released packs, approved client work, and selected studies that demonstrate the role you want, while moving discontinued experiments to Archived.

Treat one environment or asset pack as one project even if it contains many files. For team productions, name your part precisely and do not imply ownership of the whole game or cinematic.

A study can be Built when it has a deliberate final state; a commercial pack still being expanded can be Building. Status should describe the work today, not its original plan.

  • Finished scene: final render or breakdown.
  • Inspectable model: stable Sketchfab page.
  • Sold pack: maintained marketplace listing.
  • Cancelled experiment: archived description with any valid surviving proof.

What is the fast way to assemble the 3D portfolio with IndieShow?

The fast way is to add one IndieShow card per finished piece or pack, assign a clear 3D tag, and group entries by current status.

Use the description for your contribution, pipeline, and current availability. Upload a recognisable project image or logo, then link the strongest maintained destination rather than every mirror.

Order the first projects for the studio, client, or buyer you want. The dashboard preview makes it easy to check whether the page reads clearly before a visitor opens a heavy viewer.

Build your IndieShow pageClaim your handle, organise the projects in the editor, then review the $15 one-year and $30 lifetime publishing options in the dashboard.

Should the card link to Sketchfab, ArtStation, a store, or a video?

Link to the source that best proves the claim: an inspectable model, a documented breakdown, a maintained store listing, or a stable demonstration.

Choose Sketchfab when topology and inspection matter, a breakdown when process matters, and a marketplace when the claim is that the asset is available. A video is useful for animation or interaction but should not imply downloadable access.

Avoid duplicate cards for the same asset on several hosts. Pick one canonical destination and use the card description to explain the work.

How do you present assets used inside a larger game?

Present the asset or contribution as your project entry, name the released game only with permission, and distinguish your work from the final production.

Link an approved credit, breakdown, or public game page when it supports your role. Do not upload source meshes, textures, or client files merely because the final title is public.

Why use IndieShow for Blender and game-asset work?

IndieShow gives scattered 3D evidence one stable order while Sketchfab, stores, videos, and breakdowns continue to host the specialist proof.

Update destinations when a marketplace listing closes, move old work to Archived, and keep the strongest relevant pieces first. Optional metrics should be used only for supportable figures you are allowed to share.

IndieShow closes the gap between a list of platform profiles and a readable body of work: one personal page that explains what each external model or asset demonstrates.
