Communities like Sketchfab [1] serve some of these needs. Although not 100% FOSS, ‘content hubs’ like this can be a fun place for creators/artists to share their work — and to potentially get paid — and for others to hunt for high quality assets. Sketchfab was acquired by Epic Games in 2021. [2] Maintaining stylistic consistency from one asset to another is a challenge, however, but maybe upcoming advancements in AI-powered tools like Point-E [3] will enable assets of one style to be re-envisioned en masse into another style. E.g., a text prompt could be “I want all assets from artist X and artist Y to be stylized like the game GTA: Vice City.”
