Kartaverse is a free open-source post-production pipeline that is optimized for the immersive media sector. If you can imagine it, Kartaverse can help you create it in XR!
"Karta" is the Swedish word for map. With KartaVR you can stitch, composite, retouch, and remap any kind of panoramic video: from any projection to any projection. This provides the essential tools for 360VR, panoramic video stitching, depthmap, lightfield, and fulldome image editing workflows.
Kartaverse makes it a breeze to accessibly and affordably create content for use with virtual reality HMDs (head mounted displays) and fulldome theatres by providing ready to go scripts, templates, plugins, and command-line tools that allow you to work efficiently with XR media. The toolset works inside of Blackmagic Design's powerful node based Fusion Studio and DaVinci Resolve Studio software.
Kartaverse is a free open-source (GNU LGPL/GPL v3) toolset. It is distributed through the WSL Reactor package manager for Resolve/Fusion. Install the Reactor package manager, and select the "Kartaverse" category on the left side of the Reactor GUI to access the tools.
Kartaverse/KartaVR can be used on personal and commercial projects at no cost. It can be installed, for free, on an unlimited number of computers and render nodes via the Reactor Package Manager.
The KartaVR documentation is hosted on GitHub.io.
A "Kartaverse Workflows | Immersive Pipeline Integration Guide" learning resource is available. The free guide has over 512 pages of content that covers the primary steps required to get a working content creation pipeline established from scratch for artists working at a freelancer, or small boutique studio scale of operation. Additional, expanded chapters cover broader Resolve/Fusion page usage concepts that will help you take your composting and 360VR content creation skills to the next level.
Kartaverse PT is a new set of data nodes that allow live-link access in Fusion to PTGui Pro .pts project files. This is the start of a new way to work with panoramic data in Fusion.
The Vonk Ultra documentation is accessible on Google Docs and the development thread is on the Steakunderwater forum. Vonk is a collection of data nodes based tools that help technical artists take their workflows to the next level.
