Get a depth map from a 360 panorama
Open this ready-to-run workflow on Floyo. No install needed.
HOW IT WORKS
Step 1. Upload your panorama. A standard equirectangular (2:1) image. Phone panoramas, rendered environments, and captured 360 photos all work. Works great with: landscapes · interiors · architectural shots · street scenes
Step 2. Hit run. No prompt needed. The workflow samples your panorama into overlapping perspective views, runs SHARP depth estimation on each one, and projects the results back into a panoramic depth map.
Step 3. Download your outputs. You get three: the panoramic depth map, a debug overlay showing how the views were sampled, and a disagreement heatmap flagging where the predictions conflict. Ready for: Unity · Unreal · Blender · Nuke · TouchDesigner
First time? Leave every setting as-is. The defaults (90° FOV · 20% overlap · 2048px output) are the right starting point for almost everyone.
Overview
This workflow turns a 360 panorama into a full panoramic depth map using SHARP, Apple's monocular depth model. Equirectangular panoramas are heavily distorted near the poles, which throws off depth models trained on normal photos. So the workflow splits your panorama into flat perspective tiles, runs SHARP on each one where it performs well, and stitches the depth maps back into equirectangular format with blending to hide the seams. SHARP predicts metric depth, meaning real-world scale rather than relative brightness. You upload a panorama, hit run, and get the depth map back in about 34 seconds. No prompt, no nodes to wire.
Who it's for: game developers, 3D artists, and VFX teams who want panoramic depth in ComfyUI without wiring the sampling and projection nodes from scratch. Not for: a quick relative-depth pass on a flat photo. This is built for 360 panoramas and metric-scale depth. A standard depth node is simpler if that is all you need.
Why Floyo
Floyo is the only ComfyUI platform built for teams in the browser.
Made for teams. Share run history, files, and models across your whole team. A teammate opens your exact run and picks up where you left off. No file handoffs, no version confusion.
No install, no setup. Every workflow and model is preloaded. Open it in your browser and run. Nothing to download, nothing to configure.
No local hardware. Workflows run on H100 NVL GPUs, so heavy models run fast without a card of your own. Your VRAM stops being the limit.
Open and closed models in one place. Floyo runs open-source workflows and API models side by side.
How to use (in your browser on Floyo)
Upload your equirectangular 360 panorama.
Hit run. No prompt needed.
Download the depth map, the debug overlay, and the disagreement heatmap, ready for any engine or compositor.
Expectations The models are preloaded, so there is nothing to download. Running it needs a free Floyo account. Each run comes back in about 34 seconds. Output quality depends on your panorama: well-lit, sharp, evenly exposed images give the cleanest depth. Check the disagreement heatmap before you rely on the map, since hot spots mean the model predicted different depths from different views and the geometry there may be unreliable. One thing to know: SHARP's weights are under Apple's Machine Learning Research License, which is research and non-commercial only.
Use Cases
Game Development. Feed depth from 360 captures into your engine for fog, occlusion, or parallax without manual modelling.
3D & Compositing. Pull depth from a panoramic plate for relighting, depth of field, or dropping 3D elements into a real scene with accurate occlusion.
VR & Spatial Computing. Turn a flat 360 photo into a depth-aware scene for 6DoF viewing, where head movement reveals real parallax.
Architecture & Real Estate. Get spatial measurements, floor-plan estimates, or 3D walkthroughs from a single interior or exterior panorama.
