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.”
“Beautiful output with zero design effort. The auto-layout for flowcharts is magical compared to manual tools.”
“Dream Machine video quality has improved significantly. Not Runway level yet for cinematic work but the 3D capabilities are genuinely unique.”
“Intentionally limited scope means it does a few things exceptionally well. Refreshing in a market of bloated tools.”
“3D generation is the next frontier after image and video. Luma is ahead of everyone in making 3D accessible. Spatial computing needs this.”
“The fastest way to create clean flowcharts and wireframes. Constraints that force good design are a feature, not a bug.”
