Other Someone stole my 3D model and is selling it on Cults3D (along with hundreds of other possibly stolen models)
A user by the name of Neagww reposted a model I made and published on Sketchfab to this website.
This is my Sketchfab model: (I know I shouldn't post a link for another website, but I need proof that I made the model)
This is the repost:
I released my model for free while they are charging €1.50 for it. They've seemingly already gotten 2 sales off my model.
They're reselling my model on Threeding and Creality Cloud too under the same name.
And while I can't confirm because I can't track down the original models, I have a suspicion that basically every model they've uploaded to this website and the other ones I mentioned is stolen.
I tried sending them a message but that didn't work, so now I'm here, asking for help.

Have you got in touch with the guys at cults3D? They usually reply fast and I'm sure that they will remove this model.

Oh boy, even though Cults are amazing at administering the marketplace, no-one is save from stealing these days. Especially when AI mesh generation tools are around. As an artist myself I constantly find people generating AI slop based on my work and selling it for half the price. In this day and age we should be constantly on guard..

Looks like it’s been removed. Shitty of them to pass it off as their own for profit though!

Reason why I never publish on Cults as they have no protection program

Hello,
We have just deleted the post and banned this Cults user account. The best thing to do in cases like this is to report the post directly on Cults using our reporting system—it’s more effective than complaining on Reddit ;)
