Regarding Sketchfab models in the future and their wonky rulings.
🕑 Added 2019-03-14 19:39:05 +0000 UTCIt seems that Sketchfab has a weird rule regarding nudity and adult rated models.
Their ToS states as follows:
What is Age-restricted (Age+) content?
Age-restricted content includes, but is not limited to, models that:
contain nude characters or partial nudity
that are erotic in nature (depicting sex or containing sexual implications, even when there is no nudity)
that depict drug usage
that depict extreme violence
are otherwise shocking or disturbing
Nudity depicted in statuary, antiquities, or a similar form that has been deemed appropriate for historic value and is or has been on public display in a gallery or museum is exempt.
Labeling new and existing work as Age-restricted is the responsibility of the creator, and it is mandatory. The Sketchfab team will moderate cases where content categorization is debatable and reserves the right to make the final decision.
Age-restricted content will show the Age+ flag next to the model name.
Unacceptable Content
Some material is never allowed: pornographic, threatening, harassing, libelous, hate-oriented, harmful, defamatory, racist, xenophobic, or illegal content. This includes explicit descriptions and/or links to explicit content, even if the related content has been marked as Age-restricted.
Here's the e-mail I recently recieved.
Hey again,
Just to follow up on my previous email, I noticed that a couple of your uploads include erect/semi erect penises:
Ezria's "Asset"
Xelthia's "Assets"
This is also not allowed - could you remove them for me?
Thanks!
And another one.
Hi,
We do not allow any pornographic content, including drafts, private models and password protected models. We already asked you to delete two models two days ago - please do this immediately.

So basically, it looks like I may or may not be able to post nudity, but none with erect penises, and not in an overly suggestive way, and it may or many not be allowed if it depict sex even if it's age-restricted.
The ruling here is not at all straight forward, so I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to, or will desire to stay on the platform. Apparently they didn't say that Keema was in violation of the rules--maybe it's just because she's a female model? I don't fuckin' know.
EDIT: On the upside, I'm looking into Marmoset viewer.

Maybe if you stop putting penis on female models making them look like transgenders, then they may not go that far with your models.

Ask for clarification.

NUDITY!, SEX!, ERECT PENISES! HIDE THE CHILDRENS!! I say just swap platforms (if the other allows that kind of thing.)

Should file a complaint. Or at least ask for clarification and point out how obtuse the rules are.

Well they have just earned themselves a STRONGLY WORDED LETTER from me about this. (Not actually strongly worded, just a polite note that I would prefer that this kind of explicit content be allowed. Also that I only know about them because of explicit artists.) And if anyone else is thinking of sending Sketchfab a note, DON'T BE A DICK.
Oh no not boobs and penis! We got to protect the children!

Looked up alternative 3d web viewers and <a href="https://p3d.in" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://p3d.in</a> came up. Not sure if they would be more flexible to NSFW content.
Damn. That really blows. Just goes to show how little sites and whatnot are when it comes to the whole "express yourself" thing. Sorry to see and hear this happening.

Looking over their ToS, it seems they have the same setup as sites like DeviantART. Basically no erect/semi-erect penises, and no depictions of characters having sex, had sex, or masturbating.

Surely there has to be another way to do this. There's probably a fan that would have the know-how to just slap these models into some kind of Unity3d virtual gallery

This really sucks. Is there no other alternative? That Ezria's model was amazing.
