<h1 id="360-panorama-maker-for-qwen-image-2.1-edit">360 Panorama Maker for Qwen-Image 2.1 Edit 🌐</h1>Got a nice photo of a place and wish you could look around? This LoRA turns one to three regular photos into a full 360° equirectangular panorama you can drop into a 360 viewer, a VR headset, or use as a skybox / environment map.Your photo ends up right in the middle of the panorama, and the LoRA dreams up everything else around it: what's behind you, the sky above, the ground at your feet, all matching the place and the light of your photo.<h2 id="how-to-use-it">How to use it</h2><ol><li>Load Qwen-Image 2.1 with this LoRA at strength 1.0.</li><li>Feed your photo(s) into TextEncodeQwenImage21 as <code>image_1</code>, <code>image_2</code>, <code>image_3</code>. Set <code>resolution</code> to 1088.</li><li>Use this prompt, swapping in your own scene:</li></ol><pre><code>Transform this set of images into an equirectangular 360 panorama. Scene: A calm alpine lake below a snow-capped peak, evergreen forest, bright midday sun under a clear blue sky.</code></pre><ol><li>⚠️ Important: sample from an Empty Latent Image at 1536×768 (or any 2:1 size, like 2048×1024). Don't use the latent that comes out of TextEncodeQwenImage21, because that one copies your photo's shape and you won't get a proper 2:1 panorama.</li><li>25 steps, CFG 1.0, euler / simple.</li></ol>That's it! Open the result in any 360 viewer and look around.<h2 id="tips-for-great-results">Tips for great results</h2><ul><li>📸 Your best photo goes first. <code>image_1</code> becomes the center of the panorama. Extra photos get placed around it automatically.</li><li>🔄 Shoot from one spot. Stand still and turn. Photos taken from different places will confuse it.</li><li>📐 Normal photos work best. Regular phone or camera shots, held roughly level. Landscape, portrait or square are all fine. Skip fisheye shots, straight-up sky shots and already-stitched panoramas.</li><li>🏞️ More photos = more faithful. Anything your photos don't show gets invented. One photo works great, but 2-3 photos pointing in different directions get you closer to the real place.</li><li>✍️ Describe the whole place, not just your photo: where it is, the lighting (time of day, weather), and the mood. One sentence is plenty.</li><li>🎨 Turn off style or realism LoRAs. It was trained without them, and they can bend the panorama out of shape.</li></ul><h2 id="good-to-know">Good to know</h2><ul><li>The left and right edges aren't forced to line up perfectly, so you might spot a seam right behind you.</li><li>Big empty areas (behind you, straight up, straight down) are the model's best guess, not a reconstruction.</li></ul><h2 id="how-it-was-trained">How it was trained</h2>I took 232 free (CC0) 360° panoramas from <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://polyhaven.com/hdris">Poly Haven</a> covering streets, interiors, forests, beaches, deserts, mountains, ruins and more. From each one I cut out 1-3 random "photos" at different angles, zooms and shapes, just like you'd snap them with a phone. Then I taught the model to rebuild the whole panorama from those photos, with the first photo always in the center. That's 464 examples, 3000 steps, rank 32, trained with <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/ostris/ai-toolkit">ai-toolkit</a>.<h2 id="about-the-showcase">About the showcase</h2>Every panorama in the gallery was made from a single photo (shown right after it) with seed 7 and the settings above. The first five photos are free CC0 photos found on <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://openverse.org">Openverse</a> (from rawpixel and StockSnap). The grassy hilltop is a crop from one of the Poly Haven panoramas used in training.
