Additionally, Polyscope includes a few public-domain / permissively licensed assets. Some of the built-in matcaps are from the Blender project, and others were rendered using Blender. The built-in colormaps come from several sources as detailed on the colormap page, including Smith et. al., cmocean, and matplotlib. The concrete texture on the ground is from cc0textures.com. Thank you, artists!
