Licensing Guide

Every model on 3D Animal is sold under one of three license types. Here's what each one covers.

Personal

Non-commercial use only
  • 3D printing for personal, non-commercial purposes
  • Personal art, hobby, and portfolio projects (not for sale or client work)
  • No use in any product, service, or project that generates revenue
  • No redistribution of the model file itself

Commercial

For paid and client work
  • Everything in Personal, plus:
  • Use in commercial games, apps, animations, and VFX productions
  • Use in client work and paid projects
  • Unlimited end products built using the model
  • No redistribution or resale of the model file itself

Extended

Resale & broadcast rights
  • Everything in Commercial, plus:
  • Resale rights — include the model (as part of a larger asset pack or product) in items you sell
  • Broadcast and large-audience distribution rights (TV, streaming, wide theatrical release)
  • Available on select models — check the model page for availability

Not sure which license you need?

As a rule of thumb: if money changes hands anywhere in the process — you're charging a client, selling prints, or shipping a commercial product — you need at least a Commercial license. If you want to include the model file itself as part of something you sell (an asset pack, a print-on-demand catalog), look for Extended.
