Warps a cube map into an equirectangular image in 2D space.
Image 2D Equirectangular
Method #
This node warps a cube map - supplied as six individual images/videos, one per face - into an equirectangular image in 2D space on top of the rendered scene, with no respect paid to the 3D camera, viewport or objects within it. This is useful for taking separate perspective renders of a 3D scene and compositing them into an equirectangular output feed.
All nodes connected to this node are treated as if flowing to the parent node, and inherits any transformation changes along the chain. Notably, Post-FX cannot be connected, they should be connected to the incoming video nodeo.
Parameters
These properties control the 3D transforms of the node. Transforms will generally be inherited by child nodes, although they can be ignored through the Inherit Transform Channels attributes.
Parameter Details Position X
The objects position along the local x-axis.
Position Y
The objects position along the local y-axis.
Position Z
The objects position along the local z-axis.
Rotation Bank
The objects rotation around the local z-axis.
Scale X
The objects scale along the local x-axis.
Scale Y
The objects scale along the local y-axis.
These properties control the core behaviours of the node.
Parameter Details Mode
Sets the mode to either 360 or fisheye.
Cube Face Resolution
Sets the resolution of the cube map used to composite the equirectangular image.
Invert X
Inverts image on the X axis.
Invert Y
Inverts image on the Y axis.
Fish Eye Angle
Sets the angle of the fisheye and defaults at 180.
Colour
Sets the colour of the image.
Blend Mode
Toggles the mode of the alpha channel between - Solid, Blend, Additive, Subtractive, Multiply, Max, Min, Screen, Light and Pre Mul Blend.
Alpha
Strength of the alpha channel 1 - 0.
Alpha Sort Bias
Sets the value of the alpha sorting.
Set As Background
Control the render order of the image.
