How does asset storage work?

Your account features an expandable storage pool for triangles, textures, and photos. When you upload an asset, it will occupy a portion of this storage pool. The amount consumed will depend on the number of triangles, photo pixels, and texture pixels in your asset.

What if I want to upload an asset but I don’t have enough storage for it?

You’ll be prompted to expand your storage pool by the necessary amount to accommodate the asset. If you prefer not to expand your storage, you can delete one or more existing assets to free up space for the new one.

How much will it cost to expand my asset storage pool?

You can expand your storage pool in increments of 100 million triangles, 10 gigapixels of textures, or 20 gigapixels of photos. Please refer to the additional storage table above for pricing for each. Since storage is added in these increments, you may have extra space left after expanding your pool and uploading an asset. Any remaining space can be utilized for other assets.

How much storage pool capacity is already included with each plan?

Please see the table above.

Can I decrease the size of my storage pool after deleting assets?

Yes. Go to your billing page, use the − (minus) buttons next to the capacity types you wish to decrease, and then click the “Change Capacity” button. After you submit the change, you’ll receive a prorated account credit that will be automatically applied to future billing, rather than refunded to your payment method.

I’m a drone service provider and it’s difficult for me to predict the output quality level of my 2D and 3D map. How can I know how much it will cost me to upload an asset?

Most desktop photogrammetry tools let you specify the desired quality for creating your maps. However, factors like sensor resolution, distance to the subject, and photo overlap make it difficult to predict the exact final data size.

For instance, this model was processed from 620 photos taken with a 20-megapixel sensor (totaling 12.4 gigapixels), resulting in a model with approximately 6.5 million triangles and 2 gigapixels (GP) of textures.

With the lowest priced Individual plan, you can host up to eight models of this size before needing to upgrade your photo storage. You’ll also have ample storage for additional models without needing to upgrade your triangle or texture storage pools.

Once you’ve uploaded eight models of this size, you can add more photo storage incrementally — an extra 20 gigapixels costs $1 per month.

All storage pools can be upgraded independently and incrementally so you can grow your storage as your business and services expand. When an asset is deleted, the storage space it occupied is available for future assets.

You can also reduce your storage usage to earn credit toward your future billing period.

Is there a file or asset size limit for assets?

There are no hard limits or maximums for all plans.

Will the viewing experience be impacted if I upload more triangles, textures, or photos?

You can upload an unlimited number of textures and photos without adversely impacting viewing performance. For the best viewing experience and quickest load times, we recommend keeping the triangle count to 100 million or fewer for each asset.

Why does Nira often refer to triangles and gigapixels rather than file sizes?

Triangle and pixel counts provide a more accurate representation of the server resources required to view your assets. For example, a 16K PNG texture can range from over 500 MB to as little as 1 MB. However, viewing a 16K texture in Nira demands the same resources, irrespective of the file size.

What is a Gigapixel?

A Gigapixel (GP) refers to 1 billion pixels. Texture or photograph sizes are typically measured in Megapixels (MP), which represent millions of pixels. For example, a single 8K texture (8,192 × 8,192 pixels) is 67.11 MP. Most photos range from 12 MP to 45 MP, while some high-end sensors can capture 120 MP or more per photo. A single 32K texture is equal to exactly 1 GP, as are 16 x 8K textures or 50 x 20 MP photos. An orthomosaic image can easily exceed multiple gigapixels. Nira supports assets with an unlimited number of textures and photos.

Which plan should I choose if I want to embed assets into my website?

To embed an asset viewer directly into your website using an iframe tag, you need to be subscribed to a Professional plan. All plans, however, allow you to include a URL or image link on your webpage or social media that will open an asset in Nira.

What applications are supported by Nira?

Nira supports all applications that can output 3D mesh data as either an OBJ, STL, PLY, ABC, DAE, FBX, glTF, or GLB. We suggest using OBJ when exporting from most applications, especially photogrammetry applications (e.g., RealityCapture, 3DF Zephyr, ContextCapture, Agisoft Metashape, DJI Terra, or Pix4DMapper).

Read more about our support for particular applications here, and our support for various file formats here, including camera, design overlays (DXF), and 2D images (i.e., textures, photos, and orthomosaic).

Are there limits to how many users have access to my assets?

No, you can easily share your assets via a simple URL, allowing anyone with the link to view, analyze, measure, and annotate the content. There is also an option to set a password for each asset.

Alternatively, Professional plans have a full user account system that enables more advanced security features.
