Online libraries with content that can be legally uploaded to opensim.
Contents |
General
Collections containing many different kinds of resources.
itch.io (game assets section)
Link: https://itch.io/game-assets (Confirmed 2023-05-26)
- Content: Various, mostly models
- License: Various
Wikipedia says: "Itch.io (stylized in all lowercase) is a website for users to host, sell and download indie video games, indie role-playing games, game assets, comics, zines and music." Much of the content is also found at OpenGameArt and/or SketchFab and it seems many game content creator regards itch.io as their main distribution channel and the other(s) as secondary one(s). This means there's a good chance you'll find new content here first. Most of the content is pay-what-you-like-or-nothing-at-all donationware, a few items are commercial.
OpenGameArt
- Link: http://opengameart.org/
- Content: Objects, Textures, Sounds, Music

An exceptional repository of permissively licensed content for game creation.
- Link: http://www.sharecg.com/ (Confirmed 2023-05-25)
- Content: Various
- License: Various
A source for free animations, 3d models, textures, etc.
SketchFab
- Link: https://sketchfab.com/feed (Confirmed 2023-05-26)
- Content: Mainly models but also a few textures
- License: Various
A huge collection of models. Apparently SketchFab was originally intended to be a resource for storing 3D models to be embedded onto web sites but many of the models there are also for sale or downloadable for free. Like all generic online 3D model collections, most of the content is not intended for games/virtual worlds and too heavy for real time rendering. There is still a lot there that can be used for opensim though.
Zadaroo
- Link: https://legacy.zadaroo.com/index.html (Confirmed 2023-05-25)
- Content: All kinds
- License: CC0
Zadaroo is perhaps best known for hosting all of Linda Kellie's works after Kellie took down her own website but there is also some good classic content by the siteowner there. Please note that everything from Zadaroo has already been uploaded several times to the hypergrid and it is recommended to use existing uploads whenever possible - there's no need to load the grid servers with more duplicates than necessary.
Other collections
- Free OAR files - OAR files for regions created by Linda Kellie. CC0 license.
- Ener Hax - Objects and complete OAR files under creative commons licenses
- Oligo Academy - IAR/OAR downloads (including DARPA/MOSES assets)
- OpenSim Archive - IAR/OARs, items, objects scripts and regular builds of OpenSim.

Models

- Content: Mesh models
- License: https://www.renderosity.com/wiki/policies/standard-license
A marketplace for content for DAZ Studio, mostly commercial but also some freebies. The content is not supposed to be game ready and much of it is too heavy for real time rendering but it's still worth looking at.
Textures

Originally intended as a prize for his obstacle course in Second Life, these textures have been widely spread both in SL and on various opensim grids.
