Gift a splat
Give someone a 3D capture they can make their own. Gift a copy sends a claim link and an optional personal note. After a successful claim, the capture appears in the recipient's Twinbly library while you keep your original.
When a gift is useful
A viewing link is ideal when you want someone to explore your published scene. A gift is useful when you want them to have a library copy they can edit and publish for themselves.
- A place with personal meaning: give a family member a capture of a childhood room, a favorite cabin or a meaningful object.
- A client handoff: a photographer can give a property owner a capture to maintain and share from their own account.
- An artwork or keepsake: give someone a spatial record of a sculpture, installation or object they care about.
- A creative starting point: let a collaborator prepare their own version without editing your original.
These are examples of possible uses, not promises about ownership rights. Only give content you have permission to share.
Send a copy
- Open a finished splat you own in your library's viewer or editor.
- Open Share, then find Gift a copy. You can gift a finished library capture without first making it public.
- Enter the recipient's email address and, if useful, a short personal note.
- Send the gift. The recipient gets a link to claim it. Check the sent-gift status in the sharing controls.
The link lasts 30 days. The recipient signs in or creates a Twinbly account to claim it and needs room in their library. Gift creation has sending limits; if the app asks you to wait or clear pending gifts, follow that message.
What the recipient can do
After the claim completes, they can open the copy from their own library, adjust the scene, and decide whether to publish it. Your original stays in your account. A claimed copy is not a shared editing session: later edits to your original are not a way to update their copy.
The source must still be available when the gift is claimed. The copy is prepared at claim time, so do not delete the source before the recipient finishes claiming it. Publication settings and account limits still apply to anything the recipient later shares.
What to check for a combined scene
This guide's basic handoff is a single finished splat. A scene assembled from several captures needs extra care: check that the recipient has enough library space for the additional captures, and have them open the received scene and inspect its layers before treating the handoff as complete. Do not assume an arbitrarily nested scene or every missing attachment can be transferred.
For an important client delivery, confirm the received result together before removing any source material. A gift is not a transfer of your billing account, processing history or existing public link.
Manage an unclaimed gift
The sent list shows whether a gift is pending, claimed, revoked or expired. You can revoke a pending gift. Revoking an unused link does not take back an independent copy that someone already claimed.
Treat the claim link carefully: the recipient email is where the link is delivered, not an account-lock on who can claim it. Someone with the link may be able to claim the gift. If a link expires, return to the source capture and send a new gift when appropriate.
If claiming fails because the recipient's library is full, they need to free capacity or change their plan before retrying. Optional promotional rewards, when shown, have their own conditions; they are not part of every gift.
Gift or share?
Use publishing and embedding for a scene that remains under your control. Use a gift for a separate library copy. Use collections to present several published scenes together.
