ComfyUI Extension: Preview 360 Panorama for ComfyUI

ComfyUI_preview360panorama Introduction

The ComfyUI_preview360panorama extension is a powerful tool designed to enhance your experience with 360° panoramic images within the ComfyUI environment. This extension allows you to interactively preview equirectangular projections in their true spherical form, making it easier to inspect and verify image seams and distortions. For AI artists, this means you can ensure the quality and accuracy of your panoramic images before finalizing them, saving time and improving the overall quality of your work.

How ComfyUI_preview360panorama Works

At its core, ComfyUI_preview360panorama transforms flat equirectangular images into an interactive 360° viewing experience. Imagine holding a globe in your hands; you can rotate it to see every angle. Similarly, this extension allows you to "look around" your image as if you were standing in the center of a spherical world. This is achieved by mapping the equirectangular image onto a virtual sphere, which you can navigate using intuitive mouse controls. This approach helps you identify any visual inconsistencies or distortions that might not be apparent in a flat view.

ComfyUI_preview360panorama Features

• Interactive 360° Panorama Viewer: This feature allows you to explore your panoramic images in a fully immersive way. You can pan around the image by clicking and dragging with your mouse, giving you a comprehensive view of the entire scene.
• Adjustable Resolution Settings: You can customize the resolution of your preview to balance between image quality and performance. Setting the max_width to -1 allows you to view the image in full resolution, though this may increase load times.
• Intuitive Mouse Controls: The extension is designed to be user-friendly, with simple controls for navigating your images. Use the left mouse button to pan and the scroll wheel to zoom in and out, making it easy to focus on specific details.
