<h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>SDXL 360 Diffusion is a 3.5 billion parameter model designed to generate 360 degree spherical images from text descriptions.The model was trained from the <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0">SD-XL 1.0-base</a> model on an extremely diverse dataset composed of tens of thousands of equirectangular images, depicting landscapes, interiors, humans, animals, and objects. All images were resized to 2048x1024 before training.Given the right prompt, the model should be capable of producing almost anything you want.<h2 id="usage">Usage</h2>The trigger phrase is "equirectangular 360 view", "360 panorama", or some variation of those words in your prompt.When rendering images, it's recommended that you choose a 2:1 aspect ratio, such as 1024x512, 1536x768, or 2048x1024. Afterwards, you can use an upscaler of your choosing to make the resolution high enough for sky-boxes, backgrounds, VR, VR therapy, and 3D worlds.This model can also be used as the 'text to image' portion of 3D world workflows: Text to Image -&gt; Image to Video -&gt; Video to 3D World.<h2 id="additional-tools">Additional Tools</h2><h3 id="html-360-viewer">HTML 360 Viewer</h3>To make the viewing and sharing of 360 images &amp; video easier, I built a web browser based HTML 360 viewer that runs locally on your device.<ul><li>You can try it out here on Github Pages: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://progamergov.github.io/html-360-viewer/">https://progamergov.github.io/html-360-viewer/</a><ul><li>Github source code: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/ProGamerGov/html-360-viewer">https://github.com/ProGamerGov/html-360-viewer</a></li></ul></li><li>You can append <code>?url=</code> followed by a link to your image in order to automatically load it into the 360 viewer, making sharing your 360 creations extremely easy.</li><li>Example: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://progamergov.github.io/html-360-viewer/?url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Dauderi.jpg">https://progamergov.github.io/html-360-viewer/?url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Dauderi.jpg</a></li></ul><h3 id="recommended-comfyui-nodes">Recommended ComfyUI Nodes</h3>If you are a user of <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI">ComfyUI</a>, then these sets of nodes can be useful for working with 360 images &amp; videos.<ul><li>ComfyUI_preview360panorama<ul><li>For viewing 360 images &amp; video inside of ComfyUI (may be slower than my web browser viewer).</li><li>Link: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/ProGamerGov/ComfyUI_preview360panorama">https://github.com/ProGamerGov/ComfyUI_preview360panorama</a></li></ul></li><li>ComfyUI_pytorch360convert<ul><li>For editing 360s and for applying circular padding to models in order to improve output quality.</li><li>Link: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/ProGamerGov/ComfyUI_pytorch360convert">https://github.com/ProGamerGov/ComfyUI_pytorch360convert</a></li></ul></li></ul>For Diffusers and other libraries, you can make use of the <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/ProGamerGov/pytorch360convert">pytorch360convert </a>library when working with 360 media.<h3 id="lora-training">LoRA Training</h3>Due to the relative scarcity of 360 images, it is often easier to produce your own 360s to teach the model new concepts.
