Nira.app is a digital asset management platform with a full range of tools that helps design teams and developers share high-resolution 3D models and rich media to better communicate and collaborate.

I’ve been using tools developed by Epic for over 20 years, and it’s exciting to see their continued growth and our fit within their ecosystem.”
