# Panorama · Multi-View

> Capture multiple evenly spaced viewport shots from one 360° panorama in a single Run — outputs a `COMFYTV_IMAGES` batch for storyboards and multi-camera setups.

</Frame>

## What this node does

**Multi-View** sits downstream of **Panorama** and places **evenly spaced cameras** around the sphere. One Run produces **a set of flat images**. With **View count = 4**, labels are Front / Right / Back / Left — as if you stood in the center and shot in four directions.

Two outputs: **images** (full batch JSON) and **image** (the item at **selected\_index**). Wire the batch to **Image Picker** to browse or edit individually.

## When to use it

* Multi-camera storyboard frames from one HDRI / generated panorama
* Orbit showcases for characters or products (3-view, 4-view)
* Consistent-environment frames for Image Variations or Video FLF2V

## How ComfyTV designed this

* **Stage** + **▶ Run**: one Run captures all viewports; this node only.
* **Snapshot**: reads upstream Panorama; re-run Panorama after changes.
* **Browser-side**: multi-viewport projection, no GPU.
* **view\_count** (1–64) from in-node slider (hidden on sockets); **aspect\_ratio** / **resolution** apply per viewport.

## Types (COMFYTV\_\* vs native ComfyUI)

| ComfyTV type       | What it is               | vs ComfyUI           |
| ------------------ | ------------------------ | -------------------- |
| `COMFYTV_PANORAMA` | Upstream panorama        | Input                |
| `COMFYTV_IMAGES`   | Multi-image batch JSON   | Not an `IMAGE` batch |
| `COMFYTV_IMAGE`    | Selected item from batch | **selected\_index**  |

**Conversion:** into native → **← ComfyTV Image** per frame; plugin batch in → **→ ComfyTV Images**. See [bridges.md](https://github.com/jtydhr88/ComfyTV/blob/main/docs/bridges.md).

## Parameters

### panorama (input)

Upstream `COMFYTV_PANORAMA`.

### view\_count (hidden, slider 1–64)

Number of shots around the horizon. 4 = cardinals; 8 = every 45°.

### aspect\_ratio / resolution

Per-viewport aspect and short-side tier (1K / 2K / 4K).

### selected\_index

Which batch item **image** outputs (1-based). Switch in **Image Picker** or node UI.

## Outputs

| Output     | Type             | Meaning        | Downstream            |
| ---------- | ---------------- | -------------- | --------------------- |
| **images** | `COMFYTV_IMAGES` | All viewports  | Image Picker, Compare |
| **image**  | `COMFYTV_IMAGE`  | Selected frame | Single-edit stages    |

## Step by step

1. Run **Panorama** (or upload).
2. Add **Multi-View**, wire **panorama**.
3. Set **View count** (e.g. 4).
4. Pick **Aspect / Resolution**.
5. **▶ Run** → **Image Picker** or per-frame editing.

## FAQ

**Q: Current View vs Multi-View?**\
A: One chosen angle → **Current View**; orbit set → **Multi-View**.

**Q: Native ComfyUI batch?**\
A: **← ComfyTV Image** per frame, or **Image Picker** then single out-bridge.

**Q: Large view\_count slow?**\
A: Browser-side capture is usually fast; 4K increases file size.
