Poly Haven assets are free to use under CC0. This page is for companies that want to build products on top of our library, arrange a bulk asset snapshot, or fund new work directly.
Our live API is free for everyone, for any purpose, including commercial use - forever. There is no license to arrange and no fee for access. What we do offer, on a bespoke basis, is the operational layer around that free data: a compliance-grade provenance guarantee, or a bulk snapshot with no API dependency. The options below are designed for teams that need one of those, or want to fund new work directly.
There are four common ways companies engage with us:
If you're unsure which option fits your use case, contact us with a short description of your product or requirements.
A signed manifest for an asset or snapshot: asset ID and version, SHA-256 content hash, CC0 confirmation, our "made by humans, no generative AI" attestation, contributor chain of custody, and capture metadata.
It's signed with Ed25519, and our public key is published so buyers can verify it independently rather than take our word for it.
Companies pay for the warranty, not the (already free) assets - a document your own legal or compliance review can point to. That matters more every year in an AI-training and compliance-heavy world where "can you prove this was clean and human-made" is a real question. Bespoke, negotiated per case - contact us to discuss it.
A point-in-time export of exactly the files, formats, and resolutions you need, cut on demand and delivered directly, without depending on our live API or infrastructure.
It's a good fit for embedded asset libraries, internal mirrors, AI datasets, and any product that needs a fixed, reproducible asset set. Every snapshot ships bundled with its own provenance attestation manifest.
This isn't a recurring product or a self-serve download - each snapshot is a bespoke, negotiated contract. Contact us to scope one out.
Sponsored projects fund real work: HDRI trips, texture collections, scanning equipment, processing hardware, and site infrastructure.
This is not just brand placement. Companies fund a specific outcome that benefits both their team and the wider community.
Sponsorship benefits still scale with contribution size, from acknowledgements and logo placement through to deeper collaboration.
The assets and the API to reach them are free, forever, for everyone. Companies that depend on the library in production still choose to fund the operational layer around it:
Poly Haven provides high quality assets to 3D creators, released as public domain so they can be used freely in both commercial and private work.
There are no costs, restrictions, or registrations required to download or use our assets.
We have been operating independently for over 8 years with steady growth. Our work is already used by AAA studios, scientific research teams, and several 3D applications that include Poly Haven assets by default.
