#2Great project
Re: Sketchfab: 3D Portfolio website
#3I think you are selling yourself short by comparing Sketchfab to About.me. About.me is a simple landing page to connect all your social networks so people can easily find you. Sketchfab is more of a personal portfolio for 3D Pros. By pushing the personal portfolio to the forefront, you can easily monetize Sketchfab.

I agree. It seems to me like better sights would be on Dribbble, but for 3D modelers

#5What's a 3D pro? Are these models for video games, movies, makerbots?

one more person to agree with comments, about.me is a landing page. Dribble in 3D is better.

#7Your site and product look great. But just a heads up, under the students section you put an extra l in eligible. The padding in your search bar is also off (at least in Safari) so Search is flush against the top instead of being centered.

#8I think you'll have a hard time getting traction unless you make these free for artists. I'd investigate other business models. Perhaps you could come up with a way to charge recruiters for browsing the portfolios? Perhaps an affiliate recruiting program where you get a kickback for every artist they find on your site would work.

#9The complete result of 3D art is the rendering, not the model. 3D artists put images in their portfolios. Not to say they might not want to share the models too, but in that case, it's more of a "source" of the work, not a complete work which you want to showcase in a portfolio. A single rendering might consist of a hundreds of models, too.
For game artists or print-3D, showcasing the model itself is more relevant.
My suggestion is to allow renderings / videos too if you want it to be a complete portfolio solution for a 3D artist. Then, let them share models, texture shots, etc. related to the rendering.

#10Looks cool, but the introduction video pop-up does not work in IE 10 for me.
