Sharing

We have deprecated the ability to share 3D objects. Sharing 3D photos is still supported.

3D Posts

3D Posts makes it easy to share and display your 3D assets in Facebook Posts.

I'm very excited that we're opening up support for people to share higher-quality 3D content on Facebook from more places! An artist on our team made this little hippo friend for me. She's cute in News Feed, and even cuter in VR.

Creating 3D Posts

There are three ways to get a 3D asset that meets our asset requirements to appear in a Facebook Post:

  • Share a link to a web page that has our Open Graph Sharing metadata tags.
  • Share a local asset on an Android device using Android's native Sharing action.
  • Drag and drop your asset into Facebook's Post composer and publish it.

We are working on adding SDK support for 3D Posts as well as native iOS sharing.

Drag and Drop

You can drag and drop an asset into the Post composer to preview your asset, or to manually create a 3D Post.

If you are creating a 3D Post via drag and drop:

  • Click within the composer window to make sure it has focus before dragging and dropping an asset into it.
  • Once you drop your asset into the composer, it will take a few seconds to generate an interactive preview. Once you are able to see the preview you can create your Post.
  • If you're testing and don't want anyone to see your Post, you can set its visibility to "Only me" and change it to "Public" when you're ready.
  • We recommend that you view the Post in your Feed using the mobile Facebook app to see how your asset renders on iOS and Android devices.
