Instant 3D Generation
One prompt produces a complete scene in seconds, with no modelling steps in between.
TEXT AND IMAGE TO INTERACTIVE 3D SCENES
Generate Any 3D Scene in Seconds
WorldGen turns a prompt or a single reference image into a 360 degree panorama, then into an explorable 3D scene you can walk through from any angle.
Built on the WorldGen research project by Ziyang Xie and the WorldGen authors.

Every clip below starts from a single prompt or a single reference image. Nothing is modelled by hand.

Key Features of WorldGen
A two-stage pipeline keeps the scene layout coherent while leaving you in control of the look.
Text and Image to 3D Scene
Start from a written description or from a single reference image you already have.
360 Degree Free Exploration
Move through the space in any direction and look up, down and behind you without holes.
Consistent Geometry
The panorama stage locks the room layout, so walls, floors and ceilings stay aligned.
Gaussian Splats or Mesh
Take the scene away as 3D Gaussian splats for realism or a mesh for downstream tools.
Style Control
Steer mood, lighting and material with prompt detail or a stylised reference image.
How to Use WorldGen Online
Write a prompt or upload a reference image, generate a panorama, then convert it into a scene you can explore.
- 01
Create your account
Sign in with Google. Free credits land on your account straight away.
- 02
Write a prompt or add a reference
Describe the world, or upload one image for the scene to follow.
- 03
Generate the panorama
WorldGen renders a 360 degree panorama that fixes the layout of the scene.
- 04
Explore and export
Walk through the result, then export it as splats or a mesh.
Stage 1: Panorama Generation
A text or image prompt is turned into a high resolution 360 degree panorama that fixes the overall layout, lighting and appearance.
- WorldGen Text2Scene Flux
- WorldGen Img2Scene Flux-Fill
Stage 2: Pano-to-Scene Conversion
The panorama is lifted into 3D: depth estimation builds a panorama depth map, RGBD carries colour and geometry together, and the result becomes 3D Gaussian splats or a mesh.
- Depth estimation (UniK3D)
- RGBD to 3DGS or mesh
Which WorldGen Workflow Should You Use?

WorldGen Use Cases
Teams use generated scenes wherever a space has to be seen and moved through, not just looked at.
Game level prototyping
Block out explorable spaces and check sightlines before committing to art.
Interior and set design
Turn a client photo or mood board into a room you can walk through together.
Film previsualisation
Show the camera where a shot lives inside the environment.
Ecommerce and property
Give a listing a scene visitors can move around, not a fixed set of stills.
Education and training
Rebuild historic, industrial or dangerous locations as safe walkthroughs.
Worldbuilding
Explore an idea from the inside and keep the version you like.
Learn the Workflow Before You Generate
Three short guides: writing prompts that produce scenes, starting from a single photo, and how scene generation differs from asset generation.
Text to 3D: Turn a Prompt into an Explorable 3D Scene
WorldGen turns a written description into a 360 degree panorama and then into a scene you can walk through: no modelling, no GPU, and no export pipeline to babysit.
Text to 3D guideImage to 3D: Build a Walkable Scene from One Photo
Upload a single reference image and WorldGen extends it into a full 360 degree environment you can explore from any angle.
Image to 3D guideWorldGen vs Rodin WorldGen: Scenes and Assets Compared
The names overlap: WorldGen is both a research pipeline and this site, while Rodin usually means asset generation. The useful question is not which is better, but which output the job needs.

WorldGen FAQ
Short answers about the model, the two stage pipeline and the way credits are used.
What is WorldGen?
WorldGen is a research model that generates interactive 3D scenes from text or a single image. It first produces a 360 degree panorama and then converts that panorama into a 3D scene you can explore.
What is this website?
worldgen.lol is an independent third-party service that runs the WorldGen pipeline for you. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by the WorldGen research project or its authors.
How long does generation take?
Generation runs in two stages. Most scenes are ready in seconds to a couple of minutes depending on the queue and the chosen quality.
Can I start from an image instead of a prompt?
Yes. Upload one reference image and the pipeline fills in the surrounding scene, keeping the layout, materials and mood of your image.
Do I need 3D experience?
No. You write a prompt or upload an image, and the scene arrives ready to explore. Splats and meshes can be exported if you want to keep editing elsewhere.
What can I explore in a finished scene?
You can move freely in any direction and look around behind you, above and below. The panorama stage keeps the room coherent so there are no gaps at the seams.
What do I get when I export?
You can take the scene away as 3D Gaussian splats when realism matters, or as a mesh when you need to edit it in a modelling tool.
How do credits work?
Each generation consumes credits from your plan. Credits are shared between text-to-scene and image-to-scene generation and reset with each billing period.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. A new account receives welcome credits, which is enough to generate your first scenes before choosing a plan.
Which payment methods are supported?
Subscriptions are handled by Stripe, so all major cards and wallets that Stripe supports are accepted.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. Subscriptions can be cancelled from your billing settings and stay active until the end of the current period.
Who owns the scenes I generate?
You are responsible for the prompts and reference images you upload. Make sure you hold the rights to any image you use as a reference.
