Hi everyone  
I just wanted to ask how the materials for the visualizer are licensed and how and if you can use them commercially?  
Is there any info on this?

You can use them in Shapr3D, but you are not allowed to extract them from the app’s binary and use them separately. If you export a design with materials, eg. in USDZ our with the Webviewer, you are free to use the exported designs however you want to.

So if I make a plane, assign a textured material, export it as USDZ and extract the textures from the USDZ I am allowed to use them?
