Creating Renders
How to start a new render from the /create page using the five input sources, input history, and tags
Last updated: 2026-07-11
Creating Renders
The Create page is where every render begins. It provides five input sources for starting a new project, accessible through a left pill navigation dock and hero blocks on the landing page. Each source type promotes differently into a render document, carrying its own configuration and metadata.
The Create Hub
CreateDock
The CreateDock is a pill-style navigation dock on the left side of the page. It lets you switch between the five input sources with a single click. The active source is highlighted to show which one you are configuring.
Hero Blocks
The landing page displays five source cards as hero blocks. Clicking a hero block opens the corresponding source configuration:
-
Single Image — Upload or drag-and-drop any image as the starting point for your render. Supports JPG and PNG formats in equirectangular projection.
-
360 LoRA — Generate variations using a trained 360-degree LoRA model. Start from a text prompt and let the model create a full equirectangular 360° world from scratch.
-
Pattern — Choose procedural generators and presets (or import structure) to block out a starting composition, then let diffusion refine it. Generators first — not freehand drawing as the primary model.
-
Solid Color — Start from a flat color field. Useful for abstract panoramas, background fills, coverage diagnostics, or as a base for further refinement.
-
Sequence (Pro) — Generate a sequence of frames from a folder of images. Requires a Pro license. Each frame is processed with temporal propagation to maintain visual continuity across the animation.
Import Image Mode & folders
Single Image supports browse/import of equirectangular panoramas. When the product exposes folder / batch import, multiple panos can enter the library in one pass — each becomes its own render document under the active project. Tag imported assets afterward in Renders / the library so bulk batches stay filterable (Tags) — Create import does not always expose a tag control.
Input History
Recently used inputs are saved per type, with up to 24 entries stored for each source. This lets you quickly revisit and re-use earlier starting points without re-uploading or re-configuring.
- Click any history entry to load it as your current input
- Deduplication — the same input appears only once; re-using it moves it to the top of the history list
- 360 LoRA suppression — when you promote a 360 LoRA source to a render, duplicate history entries for that source are automatically suppressed, keeping the list clean
Tags
Tags help organize renders across your library. Assign tags at creation time using the tag dropdown located below the source pills in the CreateDock.
- Tags assigned at creation are inherited by the render document
- Tags carry forward when creating derived renders from an existing source
- Use tags to filter and group related renders in your library
After Creation
Once you create a render, it opens immediately in the full-width Render Detail view. From there you can inspect, configure, and refine your result:
- The Render Widget dock displays a live thumbnail of your render, with tabbed panels for Graph, Info, and Settings
- The Graph tab shows the render's processing history and derivation chain
- The Info tab surfaces metadata such as resolution, pipeline, template, and processing time
- The Settings tab provides access to render-level configuration options
- Your new render appears in the Library under the active project, grouped with other renders in that project
