Deciphering instructions

Almost all 3D model items from booth.pm will have their basic requirements listed on their item store page. And to no one's surprise these can be in Japanese.

Since learning Japanese is not covered in this guide I will present the second best option and that is to use a translation tool. I recommend using https://deepl.com as a default translation tool. Google translate can also help, but to be honest I have had better results with DeepL.

Luckily most requirements are mostly mentioned with their official English name. Things like the type of shader or a specific script like Dynamic Bones. If shaders and/or scripts are not mentioned then there is a chance they are not needed or are included with the package.

Licensing/Legal

It’s very likely there will also be instructions regarding how you may use the avatar. A lot of creators do not want their avatar to be used in a certain commercial setting. You can be quite sure that it is not allowed to redistribute the avatar. 

Many avatar creators also have limitations in what context you can use the avatar, examples like: for political, religious and/or sexual situations.

Failing to comply with the license may result in a whole host of issues. And I would like to point out that these issues can potentially include legal action.
