What is an Original Author?
inZOI records and maintains the original author of all assets registered in Canvas (excluding room presets).
For each type of creation, a single original author is displayed, and this information can be viewed both in Canvas and in in-game tooltips.
What is a Contributor?
A contributor is someone who has modified a creation after the original author.
Since only one original author can be displayed per creation, the contributor feature allows creators to voluntarily credit others who helped with the creation.
Notes on Contributors:
Contributors are only visible on Canvas posts and are not displayed in-game.
Contributor information is not included when a creation is downloaded.
The original author can manually add contributors to acknowledge the contributions of other creators.
What are the criteria for applying original author information by creation type?
Zoi Preset A Zoi Preset includes face, style, outfit, and makeup presets. When a Zoi Preset is created by combining presets that have different original authors, the player who creates the Zoi Preset is displayed as the original author of that Zoi Preset.
Face Preset For a Face Preset, the original author of the associated makeup preset is also displayed.
Style Preset For a Style Preset, the original authors of the associated outfit and makeup presets are also displayed.
Outfit Preset The creator who first created the preset is displayed as the original author. Original author information is preserved even when a downloaded preset is applied or modified in-game.
Makeup Preset The creator who first created the preset is displayed as the original author. Original author information is preserved even when a downloaded preset is applied or modified in-game.
Lot Preset For a Lot Preset, the original authors of the associated furniture presets are also displayed. However, if furniture creations are saved separately after downloading the lot, the original authors of the furniture remain as the original creators.
Furniture Preset For individual furniture items (such as chairs, beds, etc.), the creator who first created the preset is displayed as the original author. Original author information is preserved even when a downloaded preset is applied or modified in-game.
Creations Without an Original Author Displayed
Original author information is not displayed for room presets or combined furniture (such as dining table and chair sets).
This is because these creations can be made by combining works from multiple creators in various ways, making it difficult to designate a single original author.
If you wish to be recognized as the original author, we recommend uploading the entire lot that includes the room.
When Is the Original Author Changed?
The system is designed to preserve the original author who first modified and uploaded a preset. However, the following exceptions apply:
Case 1: If User B recreates a creation that was originally authored by User A and uploads it as a new creation,
→ User B, who uploaded the creation, is registered as the original author.
Case 2: If User B downloads a creation originally authored by User A, changes it to an inZOI default preset, and then modifies it further,
→ User B, who uploaded the modified preset, is registered as the original author of the modified preset.(Example: User B downloads a Zoi Preset created by User A, changes only the outfit to an inZOI default outfit, and then modifies the outfit independently. In this case, the outfit preset’s original author is changed to User B, while the face, makeup, and style presets remain attributed to User A.)
How Can I Create a Preset Where I Am the Original Author?
If you modify a downloaded preset, the original author information is preserved. However, if you create a preset from scratch, you will be listed as the original author.
How to do this:
Enter Character Studio.
Click the View Original Author button.
Select Create My Preset.
Any preset you start creating in this state will display you as the original author when uploaded to Canvas.
