Marble is the first product from World Labs and is powered by our multimodal world models that can reconstruct, generate, and simulate 3D worlds.
Marble lets anyone create high-fidelity, persistent 3D worlds from a single text prompt, single or multiple image, video, and coarse 3D structures.
This guide provides an overview of the Marble interface and the library of guides, tutorials, and templates for creating a world.
Our goal is to help you jumpstart the world creation process so that you can publish and share your worlds with the world.
Navigating Marble
Marble’s interface is organized into several main sections to streamline your world creation workflow:- Gallery - Browse and explore worlds created by the community, discover inspiration, and access your own created worlds
- Create - The main workspace for generating new 3D worlds using various input methods like text, images, videos, or 3D structures
- Studio - Advanced tools for editing, composing multiple worlds together, and creating cinematic recordings of your environments
- Export - Download and share your completed worlds in various formats for different use cases
Creating a World
Marble offers multiple ways to create 3D worlds, each tailored to different creative workflows and input types:Preset
Browse and select curated preset examples to quickly generate worlds based on popular themes and styles, or roll for marbles to select a random one.Text Prompt
Create worlds from natural language descriptions. Simply describe your vision and let Marble’s AI generate a complete 3D environment.Single Image
Transform any photograph or artwork into an immersive 3D world. Perfect for bringing 2D concepts into explorable 3D spaces. Explore image prompt techniques →Multiple Images
Combine multiple images to specify more visual details in the world. You can specify directional positioning of each image (Front, Back, Left, Right) or use Auto Layout Discover multi-image creation →Panorama
Upload 360° panoramic images for maximum control over world layout and the most accurate spatial representation. Learn panoramic world creation →Video
Upload short video clips (under 100MB) to provide rich spatial information. Ideal for capturing 360° rotational views of spaces. Master video-based world creation →3D Structure (“Chisel”)
Use Marble’s built-in 3D modeling tools to block out geometric layouts and architectural structures as the foundation for detailed world generation. Get started with Chisel →Reuse Prompt
Quickly iterate on existing worlds by reusing successful prompts and modifying them for new variations.Editing a World
Enhance and modify your created worlds using Marble’s powerful editing capabilities:Pano Edit
Edit your worlds through their panoramic representation. Select specific areas and describe changes using natural language prompts to make targeted modifications while preserving the overall environment. Learn pano editing techniques →Click and Expand
Grow your worlds beyond their original boundaries by clicking on unexplored areas and generating seamless extensions that naturally connect to existing content. Master world expansion →Variation
Generate alternative versions of your worlds while maintaining core elements and style, perfect for exploring different possibilities from the same starting point. Explore variation techniques →Studio Tools
Take your world creation to the next level with advanced studio capabilities:Compose
Connect and arrange multiple existing worlds into larger, seamless environments. Perfect for creating game maps, architectural complexes, or expansive connected experiences. Learn world composition →Record
Create cinematic camera animations and record smooth flythrough videos of your worlds. Ideal for showcasing environments, creating trailers, or producing professional presentations. Master animation recording →Exporting a World
Share and use your created worlds across different platforms and applications:Download Options
Access various export formats depending on your intended use:- Web Sharing - Copy shareable links for browser-based viewing and exploration
- VR Experience - Generate VR-compatible links for immersive virtual reality viewing
- Development Assets - Export 3D models and textures for use in game engines and development tools
- DCC Integration - Download files compatible with digital content creation software like Blender, Maya, and 3ds Max
- Mesh Export - Export clean 3D geometry for 3D printing, CAD software, or further modeling work
Platform Compatibility
Marble is available on the web for both desktop and mobile. Some features are not yet supported on mobile (e.g., advanced creation flow with editing tools, creating from 3D structures, pano viewing), so we recommend using Marble on desktop for the full experience.Generation Times
We’re constantly working to make it faster to generate worlds in Marble. Current estimated generation times:- Create pano from text, image, or 3D structure: ~30 sec
- Create pano from multi-image or video: ~2 min
- Create draft (from any input): ~20 sec
- Create world (from any input): ~5 min
- Expand world: ~5 min
- Edit pano: ~20 sec
- Generate high-quality mesh: ~1 hr
