Credits
The Zyrkthraan Chronicles team believes in transparency and uplifting creators whenever possible. Many of the assets used in our visual elements, especially those present in our various image galleries, were sourced from other creators across the internet. To show our support for these creators’ works, we have compiled this resource to ensure that due credit is given.
Some assets are not licensed for commercial use or redistribution. As such, not all elements of this website are valid for use in commercial products. This website, so long as it contains elements that are not licensed for commercial use, cannot have any paywalled elements. Our team refuses the right to host advertisements or restrict access to pages monetarily.

| Reallusion Content Store and Marketplace | iContent, Standard, and Extended Licenses All Reallusion content licenses permit the use of assets for rendering within Reallusion software for commercial use. Some of our assets use the iContent license, others the Standard license, and the rest, especially official Reallusion content, uses the Extended license. All our models and scenes are rendered exclusively in Reallusion software. |
| ArtStation | Standard License ArtStation’s general policy regarding Stock Assets: “Subject to the restrictions set out in this Agreement, you may copy, use, modify, adapt, translate, distribute, publicly display, transmit, broadcast, and create derivative works from the Product in works you create (“Works”), which may include things like films, videos, multi-media projects, computer games, models, images, publications, broadcasts, documents, and presentations.” Standard License Terms: “If you have purchased a Standard Commercial licence then you may exercise your rights under that licence: – for personal use on an unlimited number of personal projects that are not used or distributed in any commercial manner; and – respect to one commercial Work, with up to a maximum of, as applicable, 2,000 sales of the Work or 20,000 monthly views of the Work.” Our team exclusively uses assets from this store for digital renders and texturing custom assets. We do not consider these visual works as commercial as we do not sell the images, create merchandise or promotional material from the images, host advertisements where the images are displayed, or otherwise require monetary compensation for access to these images. They are considered to be personal works provided for educational purposes. |

You cannot resell the model you bought in its digital form and you cannot resell it in its printed form as a separate, single item.” The assets gained from CGTrader are never redistributed to third parties, nor are they ever in a position where someone else may take them from files for their use. All assets from here are used exclusively to produce visual renders and as such are never offered as accessible files. |

This means don’t sell your fan art or merchandise with our game content, or put your fansite, videos, or other content behind paywalls.” “You may not access, copy, modify or distribute any EA Service, Content or Entitlements … unless expressly authorized by EA or permitted by law.” “Any use of our game content outside of this Policy is prohibited and we reserve the right to update this policy at any time …” Our team considers both of these policies as pertaining to the custom content we use to create our works. The sources for all custom content, where still available, are included in the table of specific assets used below.
