Work in Progress,
Equi-Angular Cubemap
ffmpeg v360 format uses a 3wx2h array.

Equi-Angular Cubemap in ffmpeg v360:



		left   0 front 0 right 0

		down -90 back 90  up -90
ffmpeg -i e.tif -vf v360=input=equirect:output=eac eac.tif

Paul Bourke has worked on these for a long time: Paul Bourke the link I was thinking of is gone, but look around anyway.
Google blog had a discussion on Equi-Angular Cubemaps in video in 2017: bringing pixels front and center vr video

In 3D VR, that pattern is repeated horizontally so you have that array for each left and right eye for a total of twelve square images.

Horizontal cross format
this is not for or from ffmpeg v360



Horizontal cross, this order is not ffmpeg v360 order. But it shows the pitch rotation of top (up) and bottom (down) faces.

Panotools and similar:

		Face front right back  left  top  bottom

		Yaw    0    90   180   -90    0     0

		Pitch  0     0     0     0   90   -90

I like this horizontal cross format, you can fold and glue a print to form an actual cube.

It is visually rewarding, horizontal images are in a continuous sequence: "lfrb", "frbl", "rblf" or "blfr" + top (up) and bottom (down).

But this does not work for the ffmpeg v360 format, where the horizontal cube faces are not positioned sequentially, default "rludfb".
