Luma AI

Luma AI (by Lumalabs) is an AI tool that allows you to easily generate extremely lifelike 3D images. Luma AI is more commonly used by animators, architects, and video game developers to help produce 3D imagery for concept-building.

Pro’s:

Here’s what we like about Luma AI:

1. Uses “NeuralBlender tech”: The engine behind Luma uses NeuralBender, which is a nice benefit for getting more hyper-realistic 3D imagery.
2. API capabilities: Nice to have an API that you can connect other applications to—especially if you’re building other AI tools.

Con’s:

Here’s what we don’t like about Luma AI:

1. UI is not super easy to use: I think the platform is primarily geared toward those who want to use the API rather than the UI.
2. WebGL leaves room for improvement: One of the bigger drawbacks to most of the AI 3D image generation tools is that there’s always “somewhere” to improve.

Pricing:

• No free tier to use.
• Credit model: Video to 3D is $1 per use.
