Alban Denoyel, CEO and co-founder of Sketchfab, knows this well. He considers himself a craftsman that just so happens to have a business degree. It was his exploration into sculpting and carving wood that led him on a path to discovering new techniques with other forms like resin and plastic. He immersed himself in the Maker movement, joining forces with other people making art with their hands and in many cases, experimenting with technology along the way. He eventually was introduced to the world of 3D and began to observe so many amazing artists who were doing innovative things with – what was at that time – a new art form.
Denoyel soon joined forces with Sketchfab co-founder and CTO,
Cedric Pinson, another maker whose shared passions and expertise in developing 3D software got them really thinking about how they could bring more visibility and traffic to this work.
