World Labs Studio
Studio is where you compose, animate, and enhance your generated worlds. Connect multiple worlds, create camera paths, and export final videos.
Accessing Studio
- Go to https://marble.worldlabs.ai
- Open a generated world
- Click Continue Creating (paintbrush icon) to access Studio tools
- Or access from your worlds tab
Documentation: https://docs.worldlabs.ai/marble/create/studio-tools/
Three Core Features
| Feature | Purpose | | ----------- | ---------------------------------------- | | Compose | Connect and arrange multiple worlds | | Record | Create camera animations with keyframes | | Expand | Extend worlds beyond original boundaries |
Compose Mode
Overview
Compose allows you to:
- Connect multiple generated worlds into larger environments
- Position, rotate, and scale worlds
- Remove splat artifacts at boundaries
- Create seamless transitions

Compose Canvas View
Adding and Positioning Worlds
- Add Scene: Click to browse your worlds
- Choose World: Select from saved worlds or community
- Position: World appears with positioning handles
- Repeat: Add more worlds to build larger environment
Controls Panel
| Property | Description | | ---------- | ------------------------------------ | | Position | Adjust X, Y, Z coordinates | | Rotation | Orient worlds to align correctly | | Scale | Resize worlds proportionally | | Move Speed | Navigation speed (default: 3) | | FOV | Field of view (default: 92) | | Grid | Toggle grid visibility for alignment | | Bounding | Show world boundary corners |
Splat Removal
Clean Gaussian splat artifacts at world edges:
- Select Splat Eraser tool
- Choose brush shape (circle/square)
- Adjust brush size
- Paint over artifacts
- Preview result in real-time
Splat Count: Monitor usage against your account limit (e.g., 500,000 / 2,000,000)
Fine-Tuning Connections
- Check overlapping areas where worlds meet
- Align ground levels—ensure floor heights match
- Match lighting for natural blending
- Test transitions by navigating between worlds
- Use consistent background color across scenes
Record Mode
Overview
Create cinematic camera animations:
- Define camera path with keyframes
- Control timing and easing
- Add AI enhancement pass
- Export high-quality video
Keyframe System
| Key | Action |
| -------- | -------------------------------- |
| F | Add keyframe at current position |
| U | Update current keyframe |
| Delete | Remove selected keyframe |
| Space | Play/pause animation |
Creating Camera Paths
Step 1: Position camera
Navigate to starting view using:
- WASD: Move
- Mouse: Look
- Q/E: Up/Down
- Shift: Sprint
Step 2: Add keyframe
Press F to create keyframe at current position
Step 3: Move to next position
Navigate to next camera position
Step 4: Repeat
Continue adding keyframes along desired path

Keyframe Properties
| Property | Description | | -------- | ----------------------------------------------- | | Position | Camera XYZ location | | Rotation | Camera orientation (pitch, yaw, roll) | | FOV | Field of view | | Duration | Time to reach this keyframe | | Easing | Interpolation curve (linear, ease-in/out, etc.) |
Easing Options
| Easing | Effect | | ----------- | -------------------- | | Linear | Constant speed | | Ease-In | Slow start, fast end | | Ease-Out | Fast start, slow end | | Ease-In-Out | Slow start and end | | Bezier | Custom curve control |
Enhance Feature
After recording, apply AI enhancement:
- Temporal consistency: Smooth flickering artifacts
- Detail enhancement: Sharpen and improve quality
- Color grading: Apply cinematic color profiles

Expand Mode
Overview
Extend world boundaries beyond the original generation:
- Navigate to world edge
- Look for areas where world meets unexplored space
- Position yourself at good viewpoint
- Click Expand button
- AI generates new content matching existing style
Accessing Expand
- Click Continue Creating (paintbrush icon) on any generated world
- Available in the viewer or from your worlds tab
Expand Controls
| Control | Action | | ------------- | -------------------------- | | Click edge | Select expansion direction | | Drag boundary | Define expansion area | | Generate | Create new world section |
Expansion Scenarios
Indoor Extensions:
- Expand bedrooms into en-suite bathrooms
- Extend kitchens into dining areas
- Add hallways connecting rooms
- Create balconies from indoor spaces
Outdoor Growth:
- Expand gardens into larger landscapes
- Extend courtyards into street views
- Add pathways to new zones
Best Practices
✅ Expand in directions with good context ✅ Generate small sections, check quality ✅ Consider flow and logical navigation ✅ Think about how areas connect spatially
❌ Don't expand into empty void areas ❌ Avoid expanding where geometry is ambiguous ❌ Note: Vertical expansion (up/down) not currently supported
Limitations
- Cannot expand upward or downward (horizontal only)
- "Not within recommended area" warning indicates expansion limit
- Trajectories don't persist across page navigation
- Multiple expansions require Studio Compose to stitch together
