OpenKey Features
Local GPU Diffusion Processing
- Sphere-space 360° Tiling: Hexagonal projection reduces visible boundary artifacts
- Directional Prompts (Alpha): Directional prompt interpolation and Aim overlays for natural scenes
- LoRA Support: Fine-tune output with LoRA adapters
- Multiple Templates: factory polyhedra — Dodecahedron (default, 12), Truncated_Icosahedron (32), Goldberg_GP_2_1_72 (72), up to Goldberg_GP_3_0 (92)
Desktop Application
- 100% Local: Everything runs on your GPU — no cloud uploads
- Real-Time Progress: Watch tiles complete as they render
- GPU Accelerated: CUDA-powered processing via CuPy
- Windows 10/11: Native desktop application
Creative Tools
- Pattern: 100+ procedural seed generators and 365 built-in presets for seed patterns
- Multipass: Chain full-sphere sweeps with different templates and settings
- ControlNet: Pipeline-specific structural guidance for SDXL, SD 2.1, SD 1.5, and Qwen-Image Alpha
- IP-Adapter (Alpha): Image-guided style conditioning for SDXL and SD 1.5
License note
Any valid license unlocks full resolution and Real-ESRGAN — no resolution gate by licence tier. Pro (not for sale at launch) will add sequences (image sequences & animation) and 4 machine activations (Standard has 2). There is no STD-8K / PRO-16K license split.
