Reviewer scorecard
“The 3D capture from phone video is magic. Walk around an object, get a photorealistic 3D model. For product photography and real estate, this is transformative.”
“Drawing a rough wireframe and getting working React code is magical. It is not pixel-perfect but it gets the structure right. Perfect for rapid prototyping sessions with clients.”
“Dream Machine video quality has improved significantly. Not Runway level yet for cinematic work but the 3D capabilities are genuinely unique.”
“3D generation is the next frontier after image and video. Luma is ahead of everyone in making 3D accessible. Spatial computing needs this.”
“Sketch-to-code is the natural interface for design. No more translating mental models through Figma to code. Draw it, ship it. This is where UI development is heading.”
“The open-source canvas library is excellent for building custom drawing tools. The AI sketch-to-code is a nice bonus but the core library is the real value.”
