File ▸ Share… publishes the sculpt on screen as a link. Anyone with the link can turn the sculpt around in a 3D viewer in their browser. They need no account and nothing to install, and the link shows a picture of the sculpt when it is pasted into a chat.

A share is a copy of what is visible at the moment you share: every visible layer, merged into one mesh, with its paint colour and the material it was shown with. It is never your project. Your layers, subdivision levels, masks and settings stay with you.

  1. Open File ▸ Share…. You need to be signed in.
  2. Give the link a Title. This is what people see on the page and in the preview.
  3. Press Share. The mesh is compressed and uploaded, and the link appears in the dialog.
  4. Press Copy and paste it wherever you like.

The Free plan keeps five links at a time; delete one to make room for another. Pro has no limit. A shared sculpt has to come out under 100 MB once compressed; if yours is larger, step down a subdivision level and share again.

How it opens

Under How it opens in the Share window you choose how the link looks when someone opens it:

  • Material: the material the sculpt is shown with. It starts on the one you are sculpting with, and you can pick any other from the list without changing your own.
  • Look: Matcap shows the material, Lit shows your paint under studio lighting, Unlit shows the paint as it is.
  • Background: Studio, Black, Grey or White.
  • Turning when it opens: the sculpt turns slowly until the visitor takes hold of it.

These are only how the link opens. Anyone looking can still change the look, the material and the background in the viewer.

Include Timeline

Switch on Include Timeline before you press Share and the link also carries how the sculpt was made: up to 120 moments spread across its Timeline, from the starting shape to the finished sculpt.

In the viewer a second bar appears with a Play button and a scrub bar. People can play the sculpt coming together, stop anywhere and turn the model at that moment.

  • It is off unless you switch it on, every time.
  • Baking the moments takes a little while on a long Timeline, and Undo starts afresh afterwards.
  • A share with its Timeline still counts as one share.
  • Each moment is a lighter copy of the sculpt (about 120,000 triangles at most), so the link stays quick to open.

Allow Remix

Switch on Allow Remix and the viewer shows a Remix button. Anyone who presses it opens the shared mesh in Re:Form as a new sculpt of their own, after signing in the usual way. It works on every plan, for you and for them.

  • They get the mesh the viewer shows, with its paint colour, as one layer. They never get your project, and nothing they do changes your sculpt or your link.
  • If your link has its Timeline and they are looking at an earlier moment, they start from that moment.
  • Credit name is the name your work is credited to. When somebody shares a sculpt they started from yours, their link says Remixed from your title by your credit name, and the title links back to your share. Leave the name empty and the credit shows the title alone.
  • Allow Remix is off unless you switch it on, every time you share. A link made without it can never be remixed.
  • A remix remembers where it came from, in its saved project and in its project file, however much it is changed.

To stop a link being remixed, delete it in File ▸ My shares… and share again without the switch.

Embed the viewer on a website

Every link can also be shown inside a web page of your own, such as a portfolio or a blog post.

  1. Share the sculpt, then press Embed beside the link. For a link you made earlier, open File ▸ My shares… and press Embed on its row.
  2. Paste what was copied into your page's HTML. It is a single <iframe> and needs nothing else.

The embedded viewer is the same viewer with fewer controls: people can turn the sculpt, zoom, go fullscreen, and play the Timeline if the link has one. A small Made in Re:Form link opens the share's full page in a new tab.

You can change the width and height in the code to suit your page. If you delete the share, the embedded viewer says the sculpt is no longer available.

The Re:Form gallery shows work people have chosen to send in. Nothing you make ever appears there by itself.

  1. Open File ▸ Submit to gallery….
  2. Pick one of your shares from the list. If the sculpt you want is not shared yet, press Share the current sculpt…; once it is published you come straight back with it chosen.
  3. Enter the Display name you want shown beside it.
  4. Press Submit.

The share now reads Waiting for review. We look at every submission before it appears, so it may take a little while. Once it is accepted it reads In the gallery, and its tile on the gallery page shows the preview picture, the title and your display name, and opens the 3D viewer.

  • It works on every plan.
  • Withdraw in the same window takes a submission out again, whether or not it has been accepted. Deleting the share, or your account, withdraws it too.
  • While a submission is waiting you can change the display name: choose it and press Update name.
  • Only the share you submit is involved: its model, title, preview picture and the display name. Your project and your other shares are not.

File ▸ My shares… lists every link you have made, newest first. For each one you can Copy link, Embed, Rename or Delete. Deleting a link stops it working for everyone who has it, removes its Timeline, and frees a place on the Free plan. Your sculpt is not affected.
