180° / 360° VR / DOME & Sphere Cost Estimator
Estimate GridMarkets render costs, time, and storage requirements instantly.
⚠️ Estimates are for illustrative purposes only to demonstrate how variables impact pricing. Actual production costs will vary.
Production Variables
Visual Equivalence: To visually match a 180° render, you must double the X resolution when switching to 360°. That's because half the pixels are behind your head (not seen)!
(e.g., 4Kx4K 180° = 8Kx4K 360°, 8Kx8K 180° = 16Kx8K 360°)
(e.g., 4Kx4K 180° = 8Kx4K 360°, 8Kx8K 180° = 16Kx8K 360°)
