How do licenses work?

Modified on Thu, 13 Mar at 8:17 AM

Licenses define how a 3D model can be used, shared, modified, or sold. At ResinGuild, we provide clear licensing options to protect both creators and users.


1. What Is a License?

  • A license is a legal agreement between the creator and the user.

  • It specifies what can and cannot be done with the 3D model.

  • Without a license, copyright law restricts any use beyond personal viewing.

2. Types of Licenses on ResinGuild

  • Personal License

    • For non-commercial, personal use only.

    • Redistribution or resale is not allowed.

  • Commercial License

    • Allows selling printed versions of the model.

    • Redistribution of the digital file is prohibited.

  • Restricted Distribution License

    • Allows sharing under specific conditions set by the creator.

    • May prohibit resale or modifications.

  • Creative Commons Licenses

    • CC BY: Use, modify, and distribute with attribution.

    • CC BY-NC: Same as above, but non-commercial only.

    • CC BY-ND: Share without modifications, with attribution.

    • CC BY-SA: Modify and share under the same license.

3. How to Choose the Right License

  • For Creators: Select a license that aligns with your business goals and the level of control you want over your models.

  • For Buyers: Always check the license before using a model to avoid violations.


4. What Happens If You Violate a License?

  • Unauthorized use may result in content removal and account suspension.

  • Legal action may be taken in cases of significant infringement.

5. How to Report License Violations

  • If you find that a model is being used against its license terms, report it to ResinGuild support.

  • Provide:

    • A link to the infringing content.

    • Proof of the license agreement.

    • Details of the violation.


Understanding and respecting licenses is essential for a thriving creative community. At ResinGuild, we ensure fair and transparent licensing for all users.
