Could you please tell us about setting up a Fab profile and how one should approach this task? From your point of view as an already well-established creator, how easy was it to share your Easy Tools on the new platform? What were the challenges?
This is one of the many things the team at Fab really nailed down. Migration from the original Marketplace was smooth as butter. For my sake, there were no issues whatsoever. You selected the products you wanted to migrate over from the original marketplace, hit next, and you were done. We had the option to upload new screenshots/promo material, and the rest is history.
I have to give the Fab team credit for how quickly new submissions are processed. When submitting EasyRain, I got an answer within 4 hours with some minor things to fix/address. The final submission took no longer than 6 hours to get approved, on a Sunday, no less. It doesn’t seem like the quality of the processing has dropped, but the pace at which they give sellers a heads-up has drastically improved.
For new creators looking to submit their own assets and tools, the process is simple. You’ll be prompted on a page to choose what kind of asset you are submitting. Unreal Engine, Unity, animations for Maya, ZBrush files, audio, tutorials/courses, it is quite robust. Previously, I would have had to set up an account on ArtStation, Unreal Engine Marketplace, and Gumroad to do the same to achieve the same visibility, but now? Having it all in one place saves creators a lot of time while potentially expanding a potential target audience.
