Redirects to 3D Content

After you download the 3D Content Packs, point your Kit application at the local copy instead of centralized Amazon S3. In an air-gapped environment, the omni.kit.client.alias extension maps remote content URLs to paths on disk.

In this guide, you configure application.kit to add the extension and set client aliases for your content location.

1. Place the 3D Content Packs at an air-gap location. For example, c:/temp/content

2. Open the application.kit file and add the dependency to the omni.kit.client.alias extension:

   [dependencies]
   "omni.kit.client.alias" = {}
   

   Note

   This extension stores and manages a list of client aliases. Each item in the list corresponds to a URL and a redirect location in a dictionary.

3. Add the following alias information to redirect the paths to the local environment in your application.kit file. For example:

   [[app.client.aliases]]
   alias = "http://omniverse-content-production.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com"
   path = "c:\\temp\\content"
   

4. Save the application.kit file.

5. Launch the application and verify that content loads from your local path.

For full omni.kit.client.alias settings, see the omni.kit.client.alias settings documentation.

You configured omni.kit.client.alias so Kit loads 3D content from your air-gap path. To disable default Nucleus mounts, see Set Up Nucleus Mount. To package the application for distribution, see Packaging and Distribution.
