is it? as far as i know it just provides pre-made animations, which would in fact be infringing unless they have a very permissive license (Mesh2Motion has cc0 animations by quaternius so if one wishes to include animations then yeah)
(and there's the automatic rigging which could fall under "ai", but 1) it's been around since way before the genai trend and i don't believe it has changed much 2) if after only removing animations everything's fine then that's not it)
As far as I can tell, they're original. (The store page did contain fanart of Zundamon, but that was clearly marked as such and didn't claim to be CC0, so I assume any other fanart from this author would also be marked.)
Yes, I downloaded them earlier in order to port them into a VR platform as public avatars. (A project which I still haven't gotten around to finishing...)
...oh! Upon closer inspection, it seems that the descriptions did in fact get archived, but can't be seen unless you view the source code due to broken JavaScript. An example is the page for DJneko (djkst.zip), which also happens to have a properly-loading tag section containing "cc0". (This is also one of the models which link to the Pixiv license in the .glb file.)
Thank you both for your diligence and your generosity. 🙏
I recall the item pages for the models all containing "CC0" in their descriptions, but only some of them were archived, and Internet Archive doesn't seem to load them correctly. However, the license information is also contained within the .vrm files, but it's a bit inconsistent: some of them contain the text "CC0", while others link to Pixiv's customizable license page with everything set to "allow". I hope this is sufficient.
according to MediaInfo the metadata contains a link to suno.com, a genai music site
i'm afraid generated isn't allowed here due to copyright concerns (unless the model is known to be trained on authorized data, which suno is the opposite off)
I don't think the FSF will ever approve of a license that excludes training, since it goes against the zeroth freedom: "the freedom to use the program {or assets, in this case} for any purpose". Heck, the official opinion of Creative Commons is that training generative models on copyrighted material is likely to be fair use.
Either way, most currently available licenses require credit, which no mainstream image generator gives, so the point's kind of moot. The best one could do, in my opinion, is put up a tiny barrier that would discourage most scrapers, e.g. uploading as a .zip file (perhaps with a simple password). Unless the concern is individuals copying the style, which... hmm, I'm not sure if any sequence of words would discourage them.
not sure if this is allowed given the original font is proprietary; it might be legal in at least the us (given wikimedia commons allows font preview images) but idk

silly me, i didn't think to look at the description!
"Typoline typeface family designed by Mehmet Abacı [...]"
not sure if this is allowed given the original font is proprietary; it might be legal in at least the us (given wikimedia commons allows font preview images) but idk
gltf (which vrm is semi-backwards-compatible with) is just about the least locked-in format out there :p
and the leading game engines (unity, unreal engine, godot, three.js) all have vrm importers made for them
but if you have a specific usecase that isn't covered by that then let me know what format you need and i'll see how it goes
mannequin vibes, i like it!
