Yes.  When you download 3Dmodelshare content, you can use it in its original form (i.e., without altering it).  The only exceptions are:

- Don't sell copies of content without meaningful alterations e.g. don't sell an exact copy of a stock photo as posters, prints, greeting cards, mugs, t-shirts or other similar items of merchandise .

- Don't redistribute or sell 3Dmodelshare as digital content or as digital wallpapers (such as on stock media websites or as NFTs)

You can find more details in our license.

The golden rule of thumb is to consider whether the product you are creating effectively amounts to reselling the original image and whether a reasonable person on the street would look side-by-side at the original image and your product and consider them to be identical (or effectively identical).

If you've made some creative effort to incorporate a photo into a broader design, this should generally be sufficient (see examples in the next question below). Applying a filter over a photo, minor cropping, or simply changing some colours will generally not be enough.

- Adding the photo to a video montage.

- Incorporation into a greater work (e.g. adding it to a book, app, game).

- Adding the photo to any work where the reason someone would buy it is because of what you have made, rather than the image.

Digitally printing images onto a canvas or wallpaper for sale is not allowed if there were no significant changes made to the image(s).

Yes, you can use the images in any way you want for personal use.
