Question 11

Can I modify and redistribute PolyScan textures?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Under the CC0 license, you have complete freedom to modify, remix, edit, and even redistribute PolyScan textures. You can adjust colors, combine multiple textures, create variations, package them in your own products, or sell them as part of a larger work. The only thing you cannot do is claim to have created the original unmodified texture yourself. Everything else is fair game under CC0.

Question 12

How can I support PolyScan if everything is free?

Accepted Answer

While all our assets are completely free, you can support PolyScan's continued development and help us add more textures through our Patreon at patreon.com/polyscan. Patreon supporters get early access to new releases, priority requests, and exclusive behind-the-scenes content. However, supporting us is entirely optional - all assets eventually become free for everyone. You can also help by sharing PolyScan with other 3D artists and creators who might benefit from free high-quality textures.
