The honest brief
Marble
Outputs persistent, editable, downloadable 3D worlds for game engines — not on-the-fly video-only scenes.
- Exports to game engines and 3D pipelines
- Inputs from text, photos, panoramas, or 3D
- Cleaner geometry than prior world models
- Refine and re-edit generated scenes
- Quality degrades away from start point
- No dynamic on-the-fly generation
- No memory of your style across runs
- Occasional generation failures; limited free tier
Spline
A real collaborative 3D editor for interactive web scenes first, with AI generation bolted on as an accelerator — not a prompt-only toy.
- Full browser-based 3D editor
- Exports scenes for the web
- Real-time collaboration
- AI object/texture/animation generation
- Learning curve for non-designers
- AI generation is secondary to manual editing
- Heavy scenes can tax browsers

Pick Marble if you need World model.
- World model (primary capability)
Spline leans on Text-to-3D as a headline capability; Marble treats it as secondary.
