A texture marketplace explicitly states assets are licensed for 'editorial use only.' This means buyers may NOT use them for:

Which industry initiative specifically governs quality and compliance standards for 3D product assets used in e-commerce (e.g., furniture, apparel visualizations)?

A texture artist in California creates assets as an independent contractor. Under AB5, the client is most likely required to treat the artist as an employee if:
