If you're using CC By-SA license on your work, you can use anything on this site:īlend Swap uses the Creative Commons license system. That makes it extremely useful for free-culture projects. Only models under free Creative-Commons licenses (CC-0, CC-By, or CC-By-SA) are allowed on this site. These are by far the best sources for a free culture project. CC free licenses or public domain (6 sites)Īll content on these sites is "free" in the sense of "free software" and all of it is compatible with re-release under a "Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike" license. All that said, though, I hope you will find my categories helpful.
Certainly you should read the terms of any given site yourself before using the content. If you want someone else to blame if you hit problems, you'll have to hire a lawyer. Of course, I probably should add the disclaimer that "I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice". Do the terms interfere with the By-SA terms for the final animation?įor each, I searched the site for the license terms.Can we share the models at all (with users or for collaboration)?.Can we release derivatives under By-SA with the rest of the source tree?.I then categorized these according to three major criteria:
For each, I searched the site for the license terms (this varies from easily pasting text off of the front page to searching vainly for a non-existent notice and finally giving up). I took the original list and added a few sites I already knew about or found along the way. So some fact-checking was in order.ĭigging through these sites to find licensing terms is a major headache, as they quite frequently hide or omit this informationĭigging through these sites to find licensing terms is a major headache, as they quite frequently hide or omit this information, but with a long list of needed 3D models that I don't really want to create custom, I'm going to have to figure out which sites are clearly usable, which ones I might consider compromising on, and which ones are absolutely unusable for us.Īs long as I'm doing that, I might as well share the results! Like most lists of this type, it turns out that the word "free" doesn't really mean "free" for most of the content. Recently, I read a list of "60 Excellent Free 3D Model Websites".
