Architecture Overview¶
ziviDomeLive 2.0 organizes rendering into two domains that can be required independently or in the same Processing frame. This separation is the central architectural fact behind routing and reuse.

Standard Domain
Scene→ Standard renderer → Standard final target. No spherical cubemap is required for Standard-only work. -
Spherical Domain
Scene→ internal cubemap capture → Domemaster / Equirectangular / Skybox.
Capture once, project many, consume many¶
The cubemap is the shared spherical capture. Requested spherical projections should reuse it whenever the frame requirements permit. Preview and output consumers receive final views; they should not force duplicate scene capture merely because several consumers request the same domain.
Architecture is not a prerequisite for creative use
Artists can remain at the Scene, RenderMode, ViewType, camera and calibration level. This section exists for contributors, developers and researchers who need the engine contracts.
