Someone opened an issue about this and the creator responded saying that they’ll add a license.
Nope, there is none. Not even mentioned on the Readme. Somehow people tend to forget the licensing aspect of Open Source, it’s not just putting your code on display
In this case you are technically not even allowed to check it out in most jurisdiction.
No license means no rights.
From the Github docs: "If you publish your source code in a public repository on GitHub, according to the Terms of Service, other users of GitHub.com have the right to view and fork your repository."
So by using GitHub, he has implicitly 'signed over' some rights to other GitHub users.

But probably not redistribute.
If, by "most jurisdictions", you mean the US and maybe Canada/Australia...
Because in "most jurisdictions" it's not actually illegal to look at things that have no license

"Checking out" something means making a copy of it, not just looking at it.
Nice renders though.
