If think the massive thing that people are missing about this rule is the logic behind the why they did this. I don't personally know where I stand on this but I decided to just try to explain how and why they came to this conclusion. If you've read the event rules regarding other methods and such, art fight generally has a strong stance against reusing assets and to them, tracing 3D models counts as reusing assets, like reusing a pre made sketch. some other examples include

- using a real life picture as background counts as no background 

- they don't allow bases to be used for 2d artwork

- Making a sketch before the event is not allowed

- 3D models cannot recycle a base and the mesh has to be 100% made from scratch

- physical crafts cannot use a base doll or an already existing toy to make a character out of.

Art fight has always had a stance against re using assets and I guess that tracing a référence image is part of it too. You also need to remember this event has competitive time based elements to this. People argue that it's unfair because tracing 3D models helps save time and this is exactly why it is banned, someone could just go out there, take tons of pictures if themselves, trace over it and make lost of drawings in a few hours and farm hundreds upon hundreds of points which could technically be unfair to other people who don't or who cannot use this time saving method (like the after mentioned 3D artist)

what I'm basically saying in TL;DR is art fight banned the ise of tracing 3D models and pictures because people could abuse it to farm massive amounts of points in a short time

this case is a really difficult situation as we have a conflict of interest between people who genuinely need these to ease the burden of the drawing process but at the same time... artfight an event  that it is technically a competition with points a winning team and a losing team. This fact has been a major driver to a lot of controversial ri years.
