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).
I saw that

Oh yeah, I think it was from Uncharted 4. Or was it the other way, there was a photo in Uncharted 4 that was a concept art from another game
Recently there was a group who were going to make a Star Trek fan movie, a very well produced one too, but they ran into legal trouble because they were selling film merchandise (which included Trek IP) to raise money for the production, and were forced to stop.
I remember Ubisoft got into trouble for using something from another game in an Assassins Creed Trailer
Yeah, GTA made exact models of real cars and just left off the logo lol.
Those that don't know would be forgiven by the red button
