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.
