Hello CLO team and fellow modelers, Recently, I encountered a situation that I believe deserves open discussion. This is not a complaint — it’s an invitation to dialogue.<hr><h3>💼 Context</h3>I created an accurate 3D copy of the Coach x Peanuts tote — replicating the proportions, original texture, and overall shape. The work was done as part of my prep for a contest, but I also decided to list the model on the CLO‑SET Store.📩 Result — rejection:<blockquote>“This item cannot be sold due to copyright policy violations. The design closely resembles a specific brand. Please revise the design.”<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202507/23ef8f8ca80e41f08bf0625c503dbd0c/images/06bcc42fa0984e90b276099df62aa971Screenshot_5.jpg" alt="06bcc42fa0984e90b276099df62aa971" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="06bcc42fa0984e90b276099df62aa971" data-width="753" data-height="362"></blockquote><hr><h3>🧩 What I changed:</h3><ul><li>Model name</li><li>Bag color</li><li>Removed all mentions of the brand in the description</li></ul>📌 After that, the model was approved for sale — despite the construction staying exactly the same.<hr><h3>📦 How do other 3D marketplaces handle this?</h3>When a new iPhone is released — within a day, dozens of 3D models pop up on major marketplaces. Furniture brands themselves create and share free 3D libraries for designers to use in visualizations.And that makes perfect sense: Visual presence = brand recognition = increased sales.So why does CLO‑SET follow a different logic?<hr><h3>❓ A Question for CLO‑SET Store</h3><ul><li>What are 3D modelers supposed to do when they faithfully recreate real-world designs and credit the original source?</li><li>Why is a formally disguised copy acceptable, but a transparent and honest one is not?</li></ul>🔗 By the way, you can buy my “revised” bag here: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://connect.clo-set.com/detail/2a4e1a3ed4b347f880c86346a89abf2e">https://connect.clo-set.com/detail/2a4e1a3ed4b347f880c86346a89abf2e</a><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202507/23ef8f8ca80e41f08bf0625c503dbd0c/images/7f3521a62ec045bdaeca591fd788f2c3kaizen.jpg" alt="7f3521a62ec045bdaeca591fd788f2c3" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="7f3521a62ec045bdaeca591fd788f2c3" data-width="1920" data-height="959"><hr><h3>🧠 Zooming Out</h3>I’m a 3D specialist. My strength lies in precise digital replication of real objects. I don’t always invent from scratch. I’m a technician, not a concept designer. But:<ul><li>People like me realize the ideas of designers (or neural networks)</li><li>We build digital libraries, catalogs, and production-ready assets</li><li>We are just as necessary to the industry as those who generate ideas</li></ul><hr><h3>📢 Now to you, the community:</h3>Who are you when working in CLO? If, like me, you specialize in replicating real-world designs — how do you position yourself? Do we really need to “get creative” just to be accepted? We are creating a new profession — can you feel it? There was no such job before: 3D fashion modeler. We are building it together. There are no fixed rules yet, but we are the ones writing them, don’t you see? I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts — and hopefully, a response from the CLO team. I truly believe the platform is evolving, and moments like this help all of us better understand the rules of the game.Respectfully, KaiZen 📸 <a target="_new" rel="noopener" class="" href="https://www.instagram.com/kazan.tools/">Instagram — @</a><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://kazan.tools">kazan.tools</a> 🎨 <a target="_new" rel="noopener" class="" href="https://www.artstation.com/olenalad">ArtStation Portfolio</a> #GeneralDiscussion

My CLO-SET rendering job has been stuck on 'Delaying' status for the past 16 hours. Is anyone else facing the same issue?
