Luma AI

What is Luma AI?

Genie, from Luma AI, is a research preview of Luma’s generative 3D foundation model. It lets you build 3D content directly on the platform, with controls for background elements such as intensity, blurriness, and fog, along with animations, materials, physics, and visual effects.

Who created Luma AI?

Genie was developed by Luma AI, Inc. Angjoo Kanazawa serves as Chief Scientific Advisor, with research spanning Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, and Machine Learning.

What is Luma AI used for?

Genie is designed for creating content within a 3D environment, with a broad set of customization options:

• Backgrounds — control intensity, blurriness, and fog.
• Animations and sequences — manage transitions and stages.
• Scale, density, and duration — fine-tune the properties of your content.
• Materials — options include flat shading, depth writing, and transparency blending.
• Physics — tweak properties like formation, dampening, homing strength, rotation strength, and wind translation.
• Visual effects — adjust metalness, roughness, emissive intensity, and iridescence.
• Environmental maps — add them to increase realism.

Getting started

Genie is accessible via the link on the Luma AI website. It is a practical tool for experimenting with generative 3D content and creating custom visual effects.
