What does World Labs actually output inside Astorie?

A navigable 3D world rendered in an in-canvas preview viewport. You can orbit, pan, and capture stills from any angle — those captures become standard image outputs that downstream nodes can use. The world is referenced inside the canvas rather than exported as a 3D file.

Can I export the World Labs scene to Blender, Unreal, or Unity?

Not from Astorie. World Labs inside Astorie is positioned as a navigable reference and pre-viz layer, not a 3D asset pipeline. If you need a tradeable mesh or splat, capture the angles you need and rebuild in your DCC tool, or use the dedicated 3D model generator features.

Image input or text input — which works better?

Image input. Text-conditioned worlds are useful for early exploration, but image-conditioned worlds hold geometry, lighting, and style together far more reliably. A clean reference photo or a Nano Banana 2 generation is the strongest starting point.

Why does the background look stretched when I push the camera back?

World Labs reconstructs a navigable region around the framed source image. Foreground is hero, mid-ground is usable, far-field is suggestive. Stay within the comfortable navigation envelope and you will avoid the stretching artifacts.

How do I keep video shots in the same location across an entire scene?

Generate the world once, then capture multiple stills from each angle you need and feed them as starting frames into Sora 2 or Kling 3. The shared world reference is what stops AI video from drifting between subtly different locations shot to shot.

Is World Labs good enough for a final hero render?

Treat it as pre-viz and reference, not a finishing render. Use the captured angles to drive Nano Banana 2 or Flux for hero stills, or feed them into Sora 2 for the final video — World Labs is the location anchor underneath those finishing models.

World Labs AI on Astorie

World Labs turns a single image or text prompt into a navigable 3D world you can pan, orbit, and explore. On Astorie you wire World Labs into a pre-viz canvas, lock down a location once, then feed reference angles into Sora 2, Kling 3, and Nano Banana 2 nodes for video shoots and stills.

What it creates

World Labs creates a navigable 3D world from a single still image or short text prompt. The output is an interactive scene — not a flat render — so you can move the camera, orbit objects, and capture multiple angles from one generation. Inside Astorie it shows up as a world node with a preview viewport, and the underlying scene data can be referenced by downstream image and video nodes as a consistent backdrop.

Because the world is navigable rather than baked, you can pull frame captures from any viewpoint without re-running the model. That makes World Labs especially useful as a reference layer: lock a location once, then pull twenty stills from twenty angles to feed into Sora 2 for camera moves or Nano Banana 2 for hero stills. Quality of the navigable region depends heavily on the source image — clean architectural references and well-lit interiors hold together best.

Treat the output as pre-visualization, not a final asset. The geometry can be loose at the edges, foreground detail is sharper than far-field, and lighting is baked into the source image. For storyboards, location libraries, virtual sets, and reference frames it is a strong unlock; for finished export-ready 3D you would still hand off to a dedicated DCC tool.
