How 360 Hextile actually works
360 Hextile eliminates 360° seams by geometry, not by post-processing. Here is the exact pipeline, in plain language.
The seam problem
Most generators produce a 2D image, blend tiles in the plane, then warp the result to an equirectangular projection. That warp stretches the poles and leaves visible seams where tiles meet — the failure every cloud generator and ComfyUI workflow leaves behind.
Tiling in sphere-space on a polyhedral mesh
360 Hextile tiles directly in sphere-space on a polyhedral mesh — up to a 92-face Goldberg GP(3,0) sphere. Each face is inpainted with shared context from its neighbors, so adjacent faces agree at their boundaries. Seams are eliminated by construction, and the poles get native-resolution faces instead of being stretched.
Models and control
Generate from a text prompt or transform your own equirectangular image, using any of 9 diffusion model families — including SDXL, SD 3.5, and FLUX.1 Schnell — plus Real-ESRGAN upscaling. Image-conditioned generation supports depth and canny control. A deep toolkit of procedural seed generators and GPU post-processing effects rounds out the pipeline.
Resolution, locally on your GPU
Output is seamless equirectangular up to 8192×4096, generated entirely on your own NVIDIA CUDA GPU (Windows). No cloud account is required to generate. We do not publish wall-clock speed claims — throughput depends on your GPU and model.
Where the output goes
The result is a standard seamless equirectangular image, so it drops straight into the targets that punish seams and stretched poles: VR and immersive experiences, projection domes, game-engine backgrounds (such as Unreal Engine skyboxes and environment maps), and 360° viewers. 360 Hextile was built for exactly this work — seam-free, pole-correct spheres for large-scale dome installations.
Yours, once
360 Hextile is a one-time $360 purchase with lifetime ownership and Ed25519 offline license validation — it verifies cryptographically with no internet required. No subscription, no per-render charges. Cloud tools like Blockade Labs' Skybox AI bill a recurring monthly subscription per seat.
