Licences and credits

Last updated 8 November 2026 · Version 0.3

MuscleIT is built with the help of open-source software, free fonts and openly licensed anatomical models. We are grateful to everyone who made them. This page names each one, says what we used it for and which licence it comes under.

1. What belongs to MuscleIT

© 2026 David Willson John Britto (operating MuscleIT). MuscleIT, its logo and app icon, the interface design, the text, the Coach David character, the app screenshots and the two original athlete figures on the home page are our property. All rights reserved. Use of the app and website is governed by our Terms of Service.

The original athlete figures were sculpted by us with our own software and are not taken from any other model. The pictures of the muscle models on the website and in the app are renders of the openly licensed models described below.

2. 3D muscle models

The interactive muscle map uses the Écorché model: a derivative work of two openly licensed anatomical datasets, adapted for MuscleIT.

  • BodyParts3D 4.0, © The Database Center for Life Science, licensed under CC BY 4.0. dbarchive.biosciencedbc.jp/en/bodyparts3d. Its files still carry the older notice "CC Attribution-Share Alike 2.1 Japan". Sharing our model under CC BY-SA 4.0 meets the conditions of both.
  • Z-Anatomy, the libre 3D atlas of anatomy, by Gauthier Kervyn, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. It is itself built on BodyParts3D. z-anatomy.com
  • BodyExplorer by Johan Bellander published the glTF export of the Z-Anatomy meshes we started from. Its code is MIT-licensed and none of its code is included. github.com/JohanBellander/BodyExplorer

What we changed

  • Kept the bones, cartilages, teeth, eyes and skeletal muscles, and left out vessels, nerves, organs, ligaments and skin. Added Z-Anatomy muscles for the back, trunk and head.
  • Converted the units and orientation, and reduced the triangle count to make the files small enough for phones.
  • Layered overlapping muscles so each lies on the correct side of its neighbour, made the figure symmetrical, and rebuilt the external oblique and serratus anterior as single surfaces.
  • Added colour and shading data, and kept each structure's English name. Both a male and a female version are provided.

This is not a medical device. The models are for training and educational purposes only and must not be used for diagnosis or treatment.
