There comes a time in every digital artist’s life when they realize...sometimes it’s ok to download supplemental material rather than create it from scratch. So many situations come to mind:
- a photo-sourced texture to fill the background behind your character
- a stock image to fill a digital picture frame in your arch viz render
- 3D models for a game you’re prototyping
- a music track to accompany your demo reel
- many more
The reality is it's very common to need and use existing material to supplement your own work. Today Kent is discussing where to find free resources (including 3D models, images, music) and how to properly use them; both legally and in a way that makes the world a better place (attribution).
Gotta go. I'll watch the vid later ... hoping you post it :)
Works in public domain are a free for all. That's why it's the public domain.
Hi Yannis
oh this came to mind, felix the cat (first shorts) is going to public domain next year, what about works in public domain
Hey i'm late ! :)
There are assets made for commercial use, so I don't think it is forbidden
Cool
QUESTION: is using purchased assets strictly forbidden in studios? Do they have to make ALL assets? or do they purchase stuffs in time crunches?
I think it was an Uncharted 4 art in Assassins Creed
Yes, that was the case
