JINGO reported Resolution of Model Problem with VTuber “filian”
Illustrator and 3D model creator “JINGO" reported on January 13 (PST), model-related problem with indie VTuber “filian" have been resolved.
On July 4, 2024, JINGO revealed that had not received any prior communication regarding the production of a Nendoroid figure of filian based on the Original 3D Model “RINDO" for which owns the rights. In response, Good Smile Company closed the X (formerly Twitter) post regarding filian’s decision to produce a Nendoroid and removed the announcement from the company’s booth at Anime Expo 2024.
The impact of the project was also extended to “komado (こまど)," the creator of another original 3D model “ミント -Mint-" used by filian, who also released a statement.
It was also discovered that filian had made statements in the past that could be perceived as an unfair use of the original 3D model for free.
Hello, my name is JINGO from STUDIO JINGO.
We are pleased to inform you that we were able to resolve a modeling-related issue that arose with a certain Vtuber in the past last summer through smooth and respectful communication.
The Vtuber in question responded affirmatively to my request for prior communication and credit notation, and both parties were able to work together to resolve the issue amicably.
I believe it is important to maintain fairness to apply the same terms and conditions to all who use my models.
Therefore, I would like to clarify that there was absolutely no financial transaction in this agreement process.
Our agreement was based on open communication and mutual respect.Despite some initial misunderstandings about the Terms of Use, the Vtuber in question and his team respected my work and proceeded to make the necessary adjustments.
I look forward to continuing our positive and cooperative relationship.Thank you to all who took an interest.

Although JINGO’s statement has resolved some of the issues regarding filian’s model, it is unclear at this time whether she will continue to use JINGO’s Original 3D Model “RINDO" or whether she will create a new model.
