Epic-owned 3D viewer and store. Free downloads are not a site-wide CC0 library. Terms of Use (effective 12 August 2026) say uploaders pick either Sketchfab's paid License Agreement or a Creative Commons license, and the downloader must follow whichever grant is on that model at download time. The License Agreement is a royalty-free store EULA: editorial SKUs are non-commercial; standard SKUs still ban stand-alone redistribution and "too similar" resale. Do not treat a CC filter as a catalog license. Open the model. Prefer Kenney / Quaternius / Smithsonian Open Access when you want one grant for the whole pack.

Help Center license articles 404 on 2026-08-24. Evidence is /terms and /licenses, not Zendesk
CC-BY-SA on a downloadable model is share-alike on the asset derivative. CC-BY-NC and editorial licenses are not commercial-game-safe. CC-BY-ND is the usual interactive-work trap
Paid RF "standard" still forbids selling the file as a file, and forbids alcohol/tobacco/gambling/weapons promotion in that EULA. Read it if you paid
Checklist: license is per-model (not a site badge), commercial varies per model, attribution unknown at catalog level, marketplace EULA yes, Epic/Sketchfab named, not blocklisted, catalog claims no rights
commercial: varies (set 2026-10-04) follows Sketchfab's own licence list: CC0, CC BY, CC BY-SA, CC BY-ND, Free Standard and Standard allow commercial use; CC BY-NC, BY-NC-SA, BY-NC-ND and Editorial do not
Still open (2026-10-04): credit is per model (CC0 "Credit is not mandatory"; every CC BY variant "Author must be credited"; the Standard licences' credit terms were not read), and the schema has no per-file value for attribution_required, so the entry stays needs-review
Review: decide how to record credit when it is set per model, and read the Standard licences' credit terms.
