They mention using a service called Meshy for generating models, and I noticed that they have a free plan where the generated assets have a "license" of CC-BY-4.0[1]. Any lawyers in here that can comment on that? They're claiming copyright ownership over models generated from customer prompts, and I doubt they trained their model exclusively on stuff they own/licensed.

IANAL, but I think Blizzard and Marvel would beg to differ that these are kosher for commercial use.

They're also very poor quality models but that's a separate issue.


I like how the first one has two faces, one on the front and one on hair at the top


Oh god I didn't even notice that. That's one of their "featured" showcase models, too.


"They're claiming copyright...." Who is "they" in this sentence, the company from the OP or Meshy? I'm guessing the company from the OP?


"They" would be Meshy. Again, I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is that you can't grant a license to some IP unless you own it.


Thanks for the clarification; I genuinely wasn't sure which you meant.
