# Kiosk Library

> Kiosk Library is a local content library for 3D artists on Windows. It lets you organize, browse, and send assets (textures, models, HDRIs, etc.) directly into Blender, Cinema 4D, Maya, and Houdini without leaving your workspace.

## Product

- **Name:** Kiosk Library
- **Version:** 2.0.7
- **Platform:** Windows only
- **License:** Free + Pro + Studio (one-time license on Gumroad). Free limits: unlimited sources, 5,000 files per source, 5 Poly Haven downloads/day. Pro (€49, 1 seat) and Studio (€129, 3 seats) share the same features.
- **Category:** Desktop application for 3D artists / asset management

## Key Features

- Local-first: no internet required to browse your local asset library
- DCC integrations: live plugin panels inside Blender, Cinema 4D, Maya, and Houdini
- Multiple databases: organize assets across separate libraries (Pro feature)
- Custom categories and tags
- PBR texture auto-detection
- Thumbnail generation
- Poly Haven integration for downloading free assets directly
- Command stacks: automate import operations per DCC
- Extensions: optional Pro add-ons (USD Inspector, Video/Image Converter, Metadata Info, Batch Renamer, PBR Material Viewer) installed from the Extension Manager
- Color management: per-source and sequence color spaces, per-database OCIO config, ACES-correct conversion
- Scripting API (Pro): provision libraries headlessly from a script — create databases, categories, and sources via `kiosk.exe --run-script`

## How It Works

Kiosk runs as a standalone Windows application. Each supported DCC has a companion plugin that opens a panel inside the DCC. Launching a session from within that panel starts a live connection (watch folder system) between Kiosk and the DCC. Assets dropped or exported from Kiosk appear instantly in the DCC scene.
