The model is the thing of value that is damaged.

It does not get damaged, it stays as it is. Also it's a bunch of floats, not a computer.

But making works derivative from someone else’s copyrighted image is a violation of their rights.

"Derivative work" doesn't mean "inspired by". For a work to be derivative it needs to include major copyrightable elements of the original work(s). Things such as style aren't even copyrightable. Character design is, but then you should wonder whether you actually want to enforce that in non-commercial settings like fanart, even commissioned fanart, if e.g. Marvel doesn't care as long as you're not making movies or actual comics. They gain nothing from there not being, say, a Deadpool version of the Drake meme.
