How sources are searched
- API: the source's official or public JSON API. Richest metadata, often with direct files.
- Site search: the source's public pages are read like a browser would, politely and with caching.
- Deep link: the site blocks automated access (Fab, Poliigon, TurboSquid). The search response includes a link that runs the same query on that site, so you still know where else to look.
Every source has its own timeout. A slow or failing site shows up in the per-source report and never fails the search.
Licences
CC0 assets are public domain: use them commercially, modify them, no credit needed. Royalty free assets can be used in projects but usually not resold as-is. Some sources mix free and paid items, and itch.io, CGTrader and Fab set licences per listing. Each result's license field carries commercialUse and attributionRequired when known. When in doubt, follow the link to the asset page.
