Summary
I would upload a sculpt with vertex color. Everything is fine at first. Then I would enter the 3D editor to make a few changes (lighting, background, etc), hit save, then exit. Once I exit, the vertex colors won’t show. I would enter the 3D editor again and this time, the 3D editor would say the mesh doesn’t have vertex color when it clearly has it.
I had these issues with sketchfab too and found that fbx was the only upload file that works. Sadly, even fbx doesn’t work with fab’s editor.

Steps to Reproduce
- Upload a mesh with vertex colors/vertex paint.
- Use the editor to make changes (lighting, background, etc)
- Save and exit
- Inspect if vertex colors/vertex paint are intact after exiting
Expected Result
- the vertex color would still be detected by FAB’s 3D editor/3D viewer after entering/exiting the editor
Observed Result
- the vertex color is not detected by the 3D viewer/3D editor after entering/exiting the 3D editor
Platform
Google Chrome
Operating System
Kubuntu 24.04
Additional Notes
I have not published any of the upload file tests that I have since I didn’t want to show it on my profile. If an actual staff of fab could take a look at it in the backend, that would be awesome.
