Connecting to Nucleus Servers

Signing Into Omniverse Nucleus Servers

In the top of the left panel of the Content Browser users can connect to one or many Omniverse Nucleus Servers by clicking “Add New Connection” under the Omniverse Heading.

Once clicked, a panel will emerge allowing you to enter and add a host Omniverse Server Address.

Once added, you can now select the server to explore. When you do you, a web sign-on panel will appear. Enter your credentials to log in.

You can now explore your newly connected server.

Shortcut Paths

When adding a server you can also set a path to a specific directory within a server. This can be useful in creating a sort of shortcut.

Now you can directly access a nested directory with a single click.
