World Labs has introduced Marble, a limited access beta preview of its model, now available at marble.worldlabs.ai, where users can view and create 3D worlds.
Given an image or text prompt, the model generates a 3D world that can be explored for as long as users wish — with no time limits, no morphing, and no inconsistency. Compared to previous results, the generated worlds are bigger, more stylistically diverse, and have cleaner 3D geometry.
Marble makes the model available for users to start viewing and building worlds immediately. Enthusiasts and builders can export generated worlds as Gaussian splats and use them in downstream projects. This is particularly easy with World Labs’ open-source rendering library Spark, which seamlessly integrates Gaussian splats into Three.js for building web-based 3D experiences, and renders efficiently on desktops, laptops, mobile devices, and VR headsets.
Better Geometry
The ability to navigate and interact with a consistent 3D world lies at the heart of many workflows and use cases for visual creators. The generated 3D worlds allow for free viewpoint navigation, in the user’s browser, at zero cost. In contrast to the limited 3D experience provided by depth maps or point clouds, Marble’s worlds have richer geometric complexity and produce more complete 3D environments, allowing users to look behind and beyond what is visible in the input view.
The current model is designed to create 3D environments rather than focusing on isolated or central objects, such as people or animals.
More Diverse Styles
One of the most exciting aspects of working with generative AI is the ability to freely iterate over look and feel as part of the creative process. Marble can lift inputs of many varying styles into 3D, from flat and colourful cartoons to realistic and richly detailed imagery, allowing for exploration and iteration to find just the right world for the job.
Room-sized worlds are a great start, but creators’ imagination often extends beyond these boundaries. Marble enables users to compose their generated spaces together to build out much larger environments. Given the stylistic coherence and geometric consistency achieved by the model, users can already navigate, browse, and imagine many use cases for larger worlds.
World Labs notes that it is still in the early days of this journey. The team is most excited when users share how Marble can supercharge their creativity and productivity by providing the power of world-building at their fingertips. Early feedback has already been encouraging, and World Labs looks forward to hearing from more users as it continues to improve its technology and product.
