Your Public Gallery Page

Your Public Gallery is the page that others will see when visiting your Nira homepage, and it lists a particular selection of your assets for anyone to discover and view. Your Gallery assets are always listed on this page. See Your Public Gallery Page to learn more.

Who can find, view, and share my Public Gallery assets, and what asset information do viewers have access to?

• Anyone can find, view, and share your Public Gallery assets.
• Your Public Gallery page may be indexed by search engines, or featured on our homepage or social media.
• Any geographic location information included with the asset or its files may be exposed to anyone that views the asset. For example, Nira has both current and planned features that allow for viewing of lattitude/longitude coordinates of 3D points or within photos included with the asset.

In summary, your Public Gallery assets should be content that you would be pleased with with anyone finding and viewing. A Premium asset is the appropriate choice when any level of privacy whatsoever is required for it.

Gallery asset size limits

Gallery assets have the following triangle, texture, and photo limits:

• 300 million Triangles

If you choose ⦿ Public Gallery while picking an asset's usage type, and your asset exceeds any of the limits, you'll receive an error message. In this case, you can opt to choose the ⦿ Premium option then choose to use your Asset storage or a flat-rate payment.
