Avatar & Mesh Disclaimer
Effective Date: April 17, 2026
Applies to: Kinetiq Engine — Avatar Preview System
Purpose of Avatar Models
Kinetiq Engine loads 3D avatar models (GLB, FBX) solely for animation preview and visualization. Avatars serve as a visual reference so users can see how their animations will look on a specific body type or platform skeleton.
Intellectual Property
- Avatar meshes and their associated textures, materials, and rigging are the intellectual property of their respective creators.
- Thirdrez does not claim ownership over any avatar model loaded into Kinetiq Engine.
- Default reference avatars provided by Thirdrez are licensed for in-app preview use only and may not be redistributed.
Data Handling
| Action | Mesh Data | Animation Data |
|---|---|---|
| Loading an avatar | Processed locally in your browser | — |
| Previewing animation | Rendered locally via WebGL | Rendered locally |
| Exporting .anim (SL) | Not included | Exported as bone rotations only |
| Future exports (GLB/FBX/BVH) | Not included | Animation keyframes only |
| Server upload | Never uploaded | Never uploaded |
- All avatar processing occurs client-side in your browser.
- No mesh data, vertex data, texture data, or model geometry is ever transmitted to Thirdrez servers.
- Exported animation files contain only bone rotation and position keyframes — no mesh, skin weights, UV maps, or material data.
What Gets Exported
When you export an animation from Kinetiq Engine, the output file contains exclusively:
- Bone names — Joint identifiers (e.g.,
mHipLeft,mWristRight) - Rotation keyframes — Quaternion or Euler rotation values per frame
- Position keyframes — Translation offsets (where applicable)
- Timing data — Frame numbers, duration, priority, easing
No mesh geometry, vertex positions, skin weights, blend shapes, textures, or any other model data is included in any export format.
User Responsibility
- Users are responsible for ensuring they have the right to use any avatar model they load into Kinetiq Engine.
- Do not load models you do not have permission to use.
- Thirdrez is not responsible for any IP disputes arising from user-loaded avatar models.
