FAQ
Short answers to what people ask most about the Asset Library.
General
Is it really free?
Yes. Imports from both tabs cost 0 credits, with or without a subscription, and so do rebuilds in the editor and merging. You only need an account.
Do I need a Sketchfab account?
Only for the Sketchfab tab, and only to import: searching works without one. A free Sketchfab account is enough. Curated packs need no other account.
Can I import paid Sketchfab models?
No. The library only lists models that are free to download under CC0, CC-BY or CC-BY-SA. For a model you bought, download it from Sketchfab and convert it with GLB to FiveM.
Can I import my own model here?
No, the library only imports its own models. Your own GLB, FBX or OBJ goes through GLB to FiveM, which is free as well.
How many models are there?
Curated packs holds 1,938 CC0 models from Kenney. The Sketchfab tab searches every free downloadable Sketchfab model under the three licences.
Models
Can I import a car from Sketchfab as a vehicle?
No. The library makes props, so a car becomes a static object you can place, for a showroom or a scrap yard, but not drive. A drivable car needs a vehicle model with wheels, handling and a vehicles.meta.
Can I import a character or an animal?
It imports as a statue: a prop in the pose of the model, without a skeleton. It does not become a ped or an animal that moves.
Can I import a weapon?
As a prop, for a display or a weapon on a table. For a weapon you can hold and fire, use the Weapon Studio.
Will the model lose detail?
Only when it is heavy. The conversion brings a model down to about 40,000 triangles as a World prop or 60,000 as a Hero object, and textures to 1024 or 2048 pixels. Curated models and most game-ready Sketchfab models are far below that and stay as they are.
Does the prop have collision?
Yes. Every import ships a YBN collision, so players can stand on it and vehicles hit it.
Licences
Do I have to credit the author?
For CC-BY and CC-BY-SA models, yes; for CC0 models, including all curated ones, no. The resource does not contain a credit, so add it yourself; see How to credit.
Can I sell props from the library?
Yes, all three licences allow commercial use. With CC-BY you credit the author; a CC-BY-SA model stays CC-BY-SA even in a paid or escrowed resource. See Selling and escrow.
On the server
Do players need to download anything?
No. FiveM streams the prop to players when they join, like any resource.
Does it work with ESX, QBCore and Qbox?
Yes. The prop is a plain streamed model and does not depend on a framework. Any script that takes a model name can use it.
How do I put many library props into one resource?
Press Merge into one above your assets and pick them, or copy their stream files into one stream folder. See the Resource Merger guide.
