Creating worlds with multiple images with direction control
In the 2D input mode of omnibox, drag in or upload up to 4 images. Click on the text overlay on image thumbnails to change its direction, and choose one from “Front”, “Back”, “Left”, “Right”. For this mode, images without overlap allow the marble models to creatively fill in the spaces between views. When you are done specifying the direction of each image, click on Create to generate the world. For image file specifications, see Prompt guidelines →- Direction control is great for connecting different environments creatively.
Creating worlds with multiple images with Auto Layout
In the 2D input mode of omnibox, drag in or upload up to 8 images. Toggle “Auto Layout” switch to on so the world model automatically determines the relative positioning of these images. In this mode, all uploaded images need to share the same aspect ratio and resolution, and should be images from the same space. Currently images captured in close proximity of each other but covering different viewing directions, and with some overlap between images, work the best. Click on Create to generate the world.- Auto layout is great for quick reconstruction of existing spaces.
Auto Layout works on standard flat images and reconstructs a single space. It does not accept 360° panoramas, and you can upload only one panorama per world (a panorama can’t be combined with other images or a video). To build a larger multi-room space such as a whole house, generate a separate world from each panorama or image set (one per room or vantage point), then combine them with Studio Compose. See the Panorama prompt guide for single-panorama capture.
What Auto Layout can reconstruct
Auto Layout rebuilds one coherent space from what your images actually show. Parts of the scene the cameras never see, such as behind closed doors, around solid walls, or up a staircase, are generated plausibly to keep the world explorable, so they won’t match a real floor plan of those hidden areas. For a full multi-room house or building:- Capture open-plan areas where rooms share sightlines, and shoot from a few overlapping vantage points so most of the space stays in view. A 360 panorama gives the most accurate single-space layout.
- To connect genuinely separate, walled-off rooms into one walkable building, generate each room on its own and arrange them with Studio Compose.
Troubleshooting multi-image issues
”Auto Layout not working properly”
- Verify aspect ratios: Ensure all images have exactly the same width-to-height ratio
- Check for overlap: Include visual elements that appear in multiple images
- Improve image quality: Use sharp, well-lit images with clear details
- Check lighting consistency: Try to match lighting conditions and color temperatures
- Use images from same location: Confirm all images are truly of the same space
