- Maximum 400 character text input limit for prompts
- Low-resolution models generate fast but may need upscaling for detail
Frequently asked questions about Genie by Lumalabs
What is Genie by Lumalabs?
Genie is a research preview of Luma's generative 3D foundation model that transforms text descriptions into actual 3D assets. Type a description like 'chair with gold legs' and the system produces a quad-mesh 3D object with materials applied in under 10 seconds, ready to export and use in other tools.
Can I use Genie-generated models for commercial purposes?
Yes, you can use the models created by Luma Genie for commercial purposes no matter which plan you have, including the free plan with 30 monthly generations.
What file formats does Genie support for export?
Genie supports .blend, .obj, .fbx, glTF, USDZ, and STL export formats, which work seamlessly with tools like Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, and ARKit projects without intermediate conversion steps.
Do I need 3D modeling experience to use Genie?
No, Luma Genie is made for people who don't know 3D modeling. The platform is designed for ease of use by non-experts through simple text prompts with no experience needed.
How many model variations does each prompt create?
No, each text prompt yields four different model variations with geometry, materials, and color to choose from and customize as needed. Users can edit, upscale, or export the outputs.
Can I upscale models to higher resolution?
Yes, you can upscale selected models to high-definition versions directly within the web platform before exporting. The web version allows resolution enhancement for refined details after initial generation.
What types of objects does Genie work best with?
Luma Genie works best with detailed products, shiny surfaces, and complex shapes. It excels at creating objects and inanimate subjects but may have limitations with complex human figures or scenes.
Is there an Android app for Genie?
No, Luma Genie only has an iOS app right now. An Android app is being made for future release.
What is the maximum text prompt length for Genie?
Genie supports a maximum 400 character text input limit for prompts when generating 3D models.
How fast does Genie generate 3D models?
Low-resolution models typically generate in under 10 seconds, allowing rapid ideation across industries such as games, film, and AR/VR. Most generations are ready almost instantly for quick prototyping.
