360 LoRA Input

360 LoRA is an Input source that generates a seamless equirectangular starting panorama from a text prompt. It is separate from the LoRA module, which applies optional LoRA weights during a configured render.

Use 360 LoRA When

• You do not already have a source panorama.
• You want to explore several prompt-generated starting compositions.
• You want to select one generated variation and refine it through Hextile and diffusion processing.

Requirements

360 LoRA requires a compatible LoRA model to be installed. If no model is detected, the panel shows a Download Requirements action. Click it to download the default 360 LoRA model (~800 MB). The download progress is shown in the Download Queue with real-time WebSocket updates.

Generate An Input

1. Open the Input tab and select 360 LoRA as the source.
2. Select an available 360 LoRA model. If it is not installed, use the requirements download action shown in the panel.
3. Enter the panorama prompt and configure generation settings (steps, guidance scale, seed).
4. Click Generate to create a batch of preview variations.
5. Review the generated thumbnails — each shows a different seed variation.
6. Hover a variation and click Use as Input to pass it into the render configuration.
7. The selected variation becomes the input image for all downstream tabs (Hextile, Diffusion, Prompt, etc.).
8. Configure remaining modules and start the full render.

Handoff to Render Flow

When you select Use as Input, the chosen variation replaces the current input image. The render pipeline then applies: 1. Hexagonal tiling (Hextile tab) 2. AI diffusion processing (Diffusion, Prompt, LoRA, Style, ControlNet tabs) 3. Post-processing effects (Post-Process tab) 4. Optional upscaling (Upscaling tab) 5. Output formatting (Output tab)

This means you can generate a base panorama from a prompt, then refine it through the full 360 Hextile pipeline — prompt → generate → select → tile → diffuse → post-process → export.

Preview Management

The 360 LoRA input panel retains generated batches across sessions: - Thumbnails: Grid view of all generated variations - History: Previously generated batches are stored - Favorites: Star variations to keep them pinned - Download: Save variations as standalone equirectangular images - Cancel: Abort an in-progress generation (WebSocket cancellation) - Progress: Live progress bar with current step and ETA

Upscaling A Variation

You may upscale a selected 360 LoRA variation using Real-ESRGAN before handing it to the main render flow. This is an input-preparation action; the Upscaling module controls upscaling in a configured render.

Upscale workflow: 1. Generate variations as described above 2. Click Upscale on any variation 3. Real-ESRGAN upscales the equirectangular image (2x or 4x) 4. The upscaled version becomes available as a new variation 5. Select Use as Input on the upscaled version for higher-resolution base

Compatibility

360 LoRA is selectable as an Input source for Stable Diffusion XL, Stable Diffusion 3.5, Stable Diffusion 2.1, Stable Diffusion 1.5, FLUX.1 Schnell, Chroma1-HD, and Z-Image Turbo. See the full input compatibility table.

360 LoRA generation is available with a valid license; it is not a Pro-only feature.
