Gizmo turns a plain-English description into a fully-articulated 3D asset — complete with geometry, materials, joints, and physics properties — ready to drop into NVIDIA Isaac Sim or MuJoCo. This guide walks you through generating your very first asset from scratch.

Steps

1

Sign in to Gizmo

Navigate to gizmo.antimlabs.com and sign in with your account credentials. Gizmo is currently in alpha, so you will need an invitation or approved account to access the platform.
Don’t have an account yet? Reach out to viswajit@antimlabs.com to request alpha access.
2

Open the scene editor

After signing in, you will land on your dashboard. Click New Scene (or open an existing one) to enter the scene editor. The editor is where you generate assets, arrange them in 3D space, and prepare scenes for export.
3

Enter a detailed text description

In the asset generation panel, type a description of the object you want to create. The more specific your description, the better the result.Example prompt:
Heavy-duty industrial steel pallet rack shelving unit, orange and blue, 8 feet tall, three shelf levels
Include materials, colors, dimensions, and the object’s intended purpose in your description. Compare these two prompts:
  • a shelf — too vague
  • Heavy-duty industrial steel pallet rack shelving unit, orange and blue, 8 feet tall — specific material, color, scale, and use case
4

Click Generate and wait for AI processing

Click the Generate button to submit your description. Gizmo’s AI model will process your text and begin constructing the 3D asset. Generation typically takes a few seconds to a minute depending on asset complexity.A progress indicator will appear while the asset is being built. You do not need to stay on the page — Gizmo will notify you when the asset is ready.
5

Review the generated asset

Once generation completes, the asset will appear in the 3D viewport. Take a moment to inspect:
  • Geometry — Does the overall shape match your description?
  • Materials and colors — Are textures and surface finishes applied correctly?
  • Articulation — For objects with moving parts (doors, drawers, wheels, arms), verify that joints are present and correctly oriented.
  • Physics properties — Mass, inertia, and collision geometry are pre-configured; spot-check them in the properties panel.
If the result doesn’t match your intent, refine your description and regenerate. Small wording changes can have a meaningful impact on the output.
6

Add to your scene or export directly

Once you are satisfied with the asset, you have two options:
  • Add to scene — Place the asset into your current scene alongside other objects for a complete simulation environment.
  • Export directly — Download the asset as USD, URDF (for Isaac Sim), or MJCF/XML (for MuJoCo) without composing a full scene.
See Isaac Sim and MuJoCo for format-specific export instructions.

Tips for better results

The quality of your generated asset scales directly with the specificity of your prompt. Here are the key dimensions to cover:

Materials & finish

Name the primary material and surface finish. Examples: brushed stainless steel, powder-coated aluminum, tempered glass, natural oak veneer.

Colors

Call out exact colors or color combinations. Example: orange uprights with blue horizontal beams (as in the Pallet Rack asset).

Dimensions & scale

Provide height, width, or depth where relevant. Example: 8 feet tall, three shelf levels gives the AI meaningful scale constraints.

Purpose & context

Describe what the object is used for. Example: industrial packing station workbench with built-in scale and tape dispenser tells the AI what functional components to include.

Real-world prompt examples

The following descriptions are drawn from assets already in the Gizmo library — use them as a benchmark for your own prompts:
AssetExample description
Packing StationIndustrial packing station workbench with built-in scale and tape dispenser
LED High Bay LightIndustrial round LED high bay ceiling light fixture with aluminum heat sink
Rolling LadderIndustrial steel rolling warehouse ladder with handrails and casters
Wall CabinetMedical wall-mounted storage cabinet with glass doors and metal handles
Shopping CartStandard metal wire grocery shopping cart with red plastic handle

What happens under the hood

When you click Generate, Gizmo’s AI model interprets your text description and produces:
  1. Mesh geometry — a 3D polygonal representation of the object
  2. Materials and textures — surface appearance based on described colors and finishes
  3. Articulation graph — joints and links for any moving parts inferred from the description
  4. Physics properties — mass, inertia tensors, and collision shapes suitable for rigid-body simulation
The output is packaged into a simulator-ready format so you can load it directly into Isaac Sim or MuJoCo without manual rigging or physics setup.
