Ragamuffin20 Debuts Muffins-Flat-2-Panoramic-node For Immersive Media

Muffins-Flat-2-Panoramic-node provides a set of custom tools for ComfyUI that transform standard images and video frames into immersive panoramic content. The package automates an outpainting workflow that places flat visuals onto a larger canvas, fills the surrounding areas, and applies specialized lens projections.

Creator Ragamuffin20 developed this extension to connect traditional two-dimensional editing with three-dimensional viewing formats. By handling projection math locally, the tools allow users to generate VR180 and wide-angle environments without relying on cloud processing.

Panoramic projection and canvas tools

• Places image batches onto custom black panoramic or fisheye backgrounds.
• Generates precise masks to guide image generation into empty canvas space.
• Adjusts lens curvature and field of view without adding extra padding.
• Converts finished square frames into standard VR180 viewer formats.
• Includes helpers for aligning flat photos with wide-angle viewing grids.

Creators working with local media pipelines can use this extension to produce immersive video content while keeping raw footage completely private. The built-in orientation controls also help correct tilted shots before exporting final files for viewer platforms.

Setup steps and requirements

Users install this package by cloning the repository directly into the ComfyUI custom nodes directory and restarting the software. The workflow requires standard generation models to fill masked areas, meaning your graphics card must process both the image synthesis step and the final geometric warping.

You can download the source code and review installation instructions on GitHub.
