Licensing AI 3D Models for Games and Sale
Can you use, ship or sell AI-generated 3D models? Dated summaries of generator license terms, free-tier limits, Steam disclosure and marketplace rules.
What you may do with an AI-generated 3D model depends on three separate things: the generator’s terms for your plan, the rules of the platform where you publish, and copyright law. Those three often give different answers. These guides summarize the published terms and state the date we checked them. Where a vendor’s terms could not be read or sources conflict, the guide says so rather than guessing. They are general information, not legal advice.
For the short answer, begin with can you use AI-generated 3D models commercially? To compare tools plan by plan, use the license matrix, a lookup of what each vendor’s pages say, with “not confirmed” where they do not.
