GENERAL
Can I use Free Assets commercially?
Access to Free Assets is intended for testing ScansLibrary assets and its integration. As such, they are not to be used commercially on any trial account. However, if you have an active ScansLibrary subscription (Personal license, Indie license, Business License, Studio Licenses), feel free to use even these Free Assets commercially.
How often are new scans added?
New scans are released on a weekly basis, and new entire locations and scan categories are released every season.
Can I import the assets into a "CUSTOM" scene and sell in Stores? (TurboSquid, FAB, Unity Asset Store etc.)
Unfortunately no, this is considered redistribution as both textures and models will be included in the distribution of the sample scene.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
What types of assets are available?
3D Model (3D)
Surface (M)
Atlas (A)
Large Scale (BS)
Fabric (F)
Source (S)
Naming Convention: Is there descriptive and consistent naming for all entities?
We use descriptive and consistent naming for all assets.
Example:
M_Soil_Grevels_smkDRS_4K_Albedo
3D_Mossy_Rock_ZFpuHm_8K_Albedo
A_Pistasia_5HdaMa_2K_Albedo
Pre-processing: Are the assets pre-processed after scanning and ready for immediate use?
Yes, we need to do some polishing for the 3D assets. Also, we make surface scans "tileable".
Is there a Metallic/Metalness map for each asset?
If an asset contains a "Metal" surface, then its map is also included in the package. If it does not have a metal surface, there is no map.
Example: q6nnz3 , xbehsq , zx3x9vt (Search the Library with these IDs.)
Physically Based Rendering (PBR): Are all assets PBR-compliant? Which texture channels are provided?
Yes, all assets are PBR compatible.

Texture Density and Formats: Do all textures maintain a consistent density? What formats are they provided in?
Textures density for all surface scans: 2x2m area / 8K (8192 x 8192) : 41 px/cm. It varies for 3D models. We need to use real world scale / 8K texture ratio. All assets available in 8bit JPEG format. Also, we provide TGA format specific to 8K License.
Resolution and Bit-depths: Are the textures available in multiple resolutions? What are the bit-depths?
Textures available in multiple resolutions (1K/2K/4K/8K). We provide 32bit .EXR (Only for 4K & 8K) format for HeightMap.
