I ran into a problem when importing the Sketchfab plugin into Unreal Engine 5 version 5.0.3. I downloaded the ue5 version of the plugin, created a Plugins folder in the project folder, where I placed the file I downloaded.

But when I try to open the project, I get these messages

How can this situation be corrected? I really need this plugin! I will be grateful for your help.

Hello,

ATM Sketchfab only provides the binaries and for 5.0EA. This plugin should be considered deprecated.

Sketchfab will provide a newer version but there is no ETA on it yet.

In the mean time you can still download glTF manually from Sketchfab and import them with Datasmith glTF importer plugin, but I understand it is tedious as you do not have the library browser and the import will be slightly different.

I sent your inquiry to the Sketchfab team.

Thanks a lot! Well, I’ll try to import differently

Thank you for this advice. I’ve done a tutorial video on the Sketchfab plug-in issue and this worked very well in the meantime. Might be better to do it this way as long as the gITF file is available to download.
