Our 360 Degree Render Pass extends the various cinematic capabilities of UE Movie Render Queue to 180 and 360 degree mono and stereoscopic content creation. 

It offers the following benefits:

  1. Instant set-up: Our 360 render pass automatically syncs with the 360 camera in your level sequence. No other set-up is required.
  2. Crazy fast render times: Render in over double the speed of any other 360 camera! +8K frames render in seconds.
  3. Spectacular visual quality: Get viewport quality renders with full support for Lumen, Nanite, Path-Tracer, Anti-Aliasing, Shadows, Reflections, Refractions, Translucency and Transparency.
  4. Massively increased resolution: Top GPUs can render +12k easily (12,000x6,000). Even older GPUs can render +8K (8,000x4,000).
  5. Full integration with professional workflows: Multilayer EXR including stencils, masks, custom buffer, and depth pass for professional VFX pipelines with OCIO and 16/ 32bit color depth.
  6. Full range of output formats: Mono: Equirectangular and Cubemap, Stereo: Equirectangular 180, Dome: Domemaster and Mono Equirectangular 180
  7. Huge cost reductions: You can use a single GPU to render jobs normally reserved for render farms (and get the renders much more quickly!)

The formats we support are:

  1. Equirectangular (mono)
  2. Equirectangular (VR 180 - stereo)
  3. Equirectangular 180 (mono)
  4. Cubemap (mono)
  5. Domemaster (mono)

Recommended use-cases include:

  1. Architectural Visualization: Create stunning interior and exterior renders
  2. Virtual Reality: Create entertainment content for VR headsets
  3. 360 and 180 Degree Film-Making: Combine Unreal Engine rendering will professional post-production workflows
  4. Virtual Production: Render ultra-high resolution backplates for shoots
  5. Domes and Planetaria: Render DomeMaster projections direct from Unreal
