Quick Start — Your First Render
Start Your Panorama
Two equally good ways to begin: generate from a text prompt with the built-in 360° LoRA (no source image needed), or bring your own equirectangular 360° image (JPG or PNG, 2:1 aspect ratio). Need a sample image? Grab a free one from Poly Haven.
Choose a Pipeline & Template
Select SDXL Inpainting as your pipeline and Hextile_32_3K as your template. This gives you the best balance of quality and speed.
Configure & Render
Enter a global prompt describing your desired output (e.g., "dramatic sunset, vivid colors, photorealistic"),
set strength to 0.4, and click Render.
View Your Result
Watch the real-time progress as tiles are processed. When complete, download your enhanced 360° image and view it in any panorama viewer!
