Intellectual property

Can I sell/use 3D models created with Meshroom? Can media created with Meshroom be used for advertising, publications, training purposes, etc.?

Yes. The intellectual property of media created with Meshroom belongs to you.

Can I support Meshroom financially? If you really like Meshroom or use it commercially, consider becoming a sponsor. Sponsorship funds will be used to maintain AliceVision. You can also place a one-time donation. Thank you :)

Do I need to give credits? / Logo / How to cite

• For media created in Meshroom:

No, you do not need to give credit to Meshroom for media created with the software.

If you like the software you are free to credit it in you work.

• If you are enthusiastic about Meshroom and want to give credit (in film credits for example) you may do so. You may use the Meshroom logo (HQ). If you use the AliceVision (and not the Meshroom GUI), you may use the AV logo. We´d be happy to hear from you on how you make use of our software. You can post your use case to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/alicevision

  Restriction: The logo may not be used in any way that suggests that AliceVison/Meshroom is affiliated with, sponsors, approves or endorses you, your organization, your websites, your products or your services, unless such a relationship exists.

• You can cite Meshroom in general:
