What do World Labs' docs state about Marble exports entering a DCC, engine or virtual-production pipeline: file formats, units and scale, coordinate convention, baked vs dynamic lighting, and collision?
Corrected 2026-10-23 - see C3-B598-02; the original statements below are kept for history and are superseded where the correction says so. Marble exports splats (PLY, SPZ) and GLB meshes. Docs state: splats need third-party plugins in Unreal, Unity, Blender and Houdini; collider meshes (100-200k triangles) are for coarse physics, not visual rendering; units are 'arbitrary model units' in API exports, with a metric_scale_factor and ground_plane_offset supplied for conversion; and the coordinate convention is documented inconsistently across pages and dates (OpenCV-style 'raw' for SPZ, OpenGL default from Dec 2025, an OpenGL/OpenCV option from Jan 2026). No inspected page says whether lighting is baked into splat colours; plugin pages describe relighting and shadows as plugin-dependent.
