Sell FBX Files Online —
Keep 100% of Every Sale
Proofly is the only 3D marketplace that charges 0% commission. Upload your FBX files — rigged characters, animated props, game-ready assets — set your price, and every dollar goes directly to you. Buyers pay a flat $1 platform fee — you keep everything else. Buyers can preview animations in-browser. Every download is automatically watermarked.
How much do you keep per sale?
Commission rates vary widely across game asset and FBX marketplaces. On a $40 rigged character FBX sale, here is what you actually receive after each platform takes its cut:
| Platform | Commission | You keep on $40 sale |
|---|---|---|
| Proofly | 0% | $40.00 |
| CGTrader | 30–35% | $26.00–$28.00 |
| TurboSquid | 20–40% | $24.00–$32.00 |
| ArtStation / Fab | 12% | $35.20 |
| Unity Asset Store | 30% | $28.00 |
| Sketchfab | 30% | $28.00 |
| itch.io | 5–10% (custom) | $36.00–$38.00 |
* Stripe processing fee (~2.9% + $0.30) applies on all platforms. Proofly charges no platform commission on top of this. Rates correct as of 2026; check each platform for current terms.
Why game devs and character artists sell FBX on Proofly
0% commission — your price is your revenue
Every major FBX marketplace — Fab, CGTrader, TurboSquid, Unity Asset Store — takes 12–40% of each sale. Proofly takes nothing. Buyers pay a flat $1 fee per order. If your rigged character pack sells for $50, you receive $50 (minus Stripe processing of ~$1.75). On 100 sales that's $2,000–$4,000 more in your pocket vs CGTrader alone.
Animation preview — buyers play your animations before buying
Proofly's viewer loads FBX animations and lets buyers play, scrub, and loop them directly in the browser. They can preview every animation clip — idle, walk, run, attack, death — before purchasing. This is critical for selling animation packs and rigged characters: buyers who can see the quality convert at much higher rates than buyers who see only static screenshots.
HiddenMark watermarking — trace every leaked file
Game asset piracy is widespread on Discord servers and torrent sites. Proofly embeds an invisible HiddenMark code into the mesh geometry of every FBX download — unique per buyer. If your rigged character or animation pack appears where it shouldn't, upload it to the verifier to identify the exact purchase it came from. DMCA certificate included for takedowns.
Sell FBX + GLB + Blender source in one bundle
Bundle your FBX (for Unity/Unreal), GLB (for web preview and Godot), OBJ (for broad compatibility), and your Blender .blend or Maya source file — all in one ZIP. Buyers get everything in a single purchase. Multi-format character packs consistently sell at $50–$150, vs $20–$40 for FBX-only listings.
AI listing generation — publish in minutes, not hours
Click "Generate description" and Claude AI writes your listing title, description, and tags based on your file name and category. Your listing is automatically translated into 20 languages — Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish, Portuguese — so game developers worldwide find your assets. Listing a complex rigged character pack takes under 5 minutes.

What FBX categories sell best
FBX is the standard exchange format for game pipelines. The highest-demand FBX categories are:
Proofly vs Unity Asset Store and Fab for FBX files
Unity Asset Store: 30% commission + Unity-only reach
Unity Asset Store takes 30% of every sale, and your assets are only visible to Unity developers. Proofly reaches game developers using any engine — Unity, Unreal, Godot, Blender, and beyond. On a $50 character pack, Unity takes $15; Proofly takes $0. Selling on both simultaneously is allowed — Proofly has no exclusivity requirements.
Fab (ArtStation): 12% commission + approval queue
Fab charges 12% and has a moderation queue that can delay listing new assets by days or weeks. Proofly publishes immediately. On 200 sales of a $35 FBX animation pack, you lose $840 to Fab's 12% vs $0 on Proofly. Proofly also adds HiddenMark watermarking — Fab does not protect your downloads from redistribution.
CGTrader: 30–35% + no animation preview
CGTrader charges 30–35% and shows only static thumbnail images for FBX listings. Buyers cannot preview your animations before purchasing, which increases return requests and lowers conversion for animated assets. Proofly's in-browser animation viewer is a significant differentiator for FBX animation sellers.
Frequently asked questions
What percentage do I keep when I sell FBX files on Proofly?
You keep 100% of your listed price. Proofly charges 0% commission. Buyers pay a flat $1 USD platform fee per order — this covers payment processing and platform infrastructure. Compare this to Fab/ArtStation at 12%, CGTrader at 30–35%, Unity Asset Store at 30%, or TurboSquid at 20–40%. On a $40 rigged character FBX, you receive $40 (minus Stripe's ~$1.46 processing fee) instead of losing $4.80–$16.00 to platform commission.
Does Proofly's viewer show FBX animations and rigs?
Yes. Proofly's in-browser 3D viewer loads FBX files with animations and skeletal rigs. Buyers can play, pause, scrub, and loop animations directly in their browser before purchasing. The animation panel shows all animation tracks with a timeline scrubber and speed control (0.25×–2×). This lets buyers preview a walking cycle, attack animation, or idle pose before they commit to a purchase — a major advantage over marketplaces that only show static thumbnails.
Can I sell FBX files made for Unity, Unreal Engine, and Godot?
Yes. FBX is the standard import format for Unity, Unreal Engine 5, Godot, Blender, Maya, and 3ds Max. You can list your FBX assets on Proofly regardless of which engine or software they target. Many creators include engine-specific notes in the listing description — for example, which Unity render pipeline is supported (URP/HDRP), or which UE5 material workflow the textures are authored for. This helps buyers find assets compatible with their pipeline.
How are my FBX files protected from piracy?
Every purchase is automatically protected by HiddenMark — an invisible watermark embedded in the mesh geometry of the FBX file. Each buyer receives a uniquely coded copy tied to their purchase. If your rigged character or animation pack appears on a sharing site, Discord server, or piracy forum, upload it to proofly.store/hiddenmark to instantly identify which specific purchase was leaked. A DMCA-ready certificate with proof of authorship is generated immediately.
Can I sell FBX bundles with GLB and source files?
Yes. Pack your FBX alongside GLB (for web/AR preview), OBJ (for broad compatibility), and your Blender .blend or Maya .ma source file — all in a single ZIP archive. Buyers purchase the complete bundle with one transaction. Multi-format bundles typically sell at a premium: a rigged character available as FBX + GLB + Blender source commands $30–$80 vs $15–$25 for FBX only.
Do I need exclusivity to sell FBX files on Proofly?
There is no exclusivity requirement on Proofly. You can sell the same FBX asset on Fab, CGTrader, Unity Asset Store, itch.io, and Proofly simultaneously. Many game asset creators use Proofly as a zero-commission channel alongside their existing storefronts, pricing the same asset identically and earning more per sale. Or they price Proofly slightly lower, capturing buyers who compare prices across platforms.
What FBX asset categories sell best?
The strongest-selling FBX categories include: fully rigged humanoid characters with animations (walk/run/jump/attack cycles), fantasy and sci-fi creature rigs, VTuber avatars and VRChat-ready characters, game environment props and modular kits, animated vehicles and mechanical rigs, facial blendshape expressions for game engines, and motion capture animation packs. Rigged characters with a complete animation set consistently command the highest prices ($40–$150+) in the FBX market.
How do I get paid for my FBX sales?
Connect your Stripe account during onboarding — takes about 5 minutes. When a buyer completes a purchase, Stripe transfers the sale amount directly to your Stripe account. Configure automatic weekly or monthly payouts to your bank account or debit card. Proofly never holds your money — earnings flow directly from buyer to your Stripe account via Stripe Connect. View your sales, revenue by model, and buyer location in Dashboard → Analytics.
