Creating Worlds from Images

Transform your photos and images into immersive 3D worlds with Marble’s image-to-world generation. Learn how to select the best images and optimize your prompts for stunning results.

Getting Started with Image Prompts

Image prompting in Marble works by analyzing your uploaded image and generating a 3D environment based on its content, style, and composition. The AI understands spatial relationships, lighting, and architectural elements to create explorable worlds. You can do so dragging in images to the omnibox; it will expand with 2D input mode, which allows you to start a generation by clicking on Create.

Choosing the Right Images

Image Quality Guidelines

Resolution and Clarity
  • Use high-resolution images (minimum 1024x1024 pixels)
  • Ensure good lighting and clear details
  • Avoid heavily compressed or pixelated images
  • Sharp focus is preferred over blurry images
Composition Tips
  • Images with clear depth and perspective work best
  • Multiple spatial elements create richer worlds
  • Good balance between foreground, midground, and background
  • Avoid flat or purely decorative images

Optimizing Your Image Selection

What Works Well

  • Clear Spatial Definition: Images where you can see floors, walls, ceilings, or ground planes
  • Multiple Elements: Scenes with furniture, objects, or architectural details
  • Good Lighting: Natural or artificial lighting that defines the space

What to Avoid

  • Close-up Shots: Extreme close-ups of objects without spatial context
  • Characters: Human and animals are not well supported by the model yet.
  • Blurry Images: Blurry images result in ambiguous 3D interpretations.
  • Abstract Images: Pure abstractions without recognizable spatial elements
  • Flat Graphics: Logos, text, or 2D graphics without depth
  • Poor Lighting: Very dark, overexposed, or unclear images
  • Images with Border: Crop your image carefully to avoid flat patches of image border showing up in the 3D world.
Remember that Marble’s AI interprets your image creatively, so the generated world may expand beyond what’s visible in your original image, creating a fuller, explorable environment.
