About

Generate short videos from a prompt or image, and convert everyday phone clips into realistic 3D models you can use in projects. Creators and marketers use it for campaign visuals, class demos, and product assets without complex 3D software. It combines video generation (Dream Machine) with 3D-from-video capture in one web app.

Editor's Take

Worth trying if you need fast campaign visuals or simple 3D product previews without learning complex 3D software; best suited for clear photos or steady phone clips.

Key Features

Record a quick phone clip → get a realistic 3D model suitable for product and AR previews
Type a prompt or upload an image → generate a short video with coherent motion
Upload a product spin or walkthrough video → receive an accurate, textured 3D asset
Open the web app → manage generated videos and 3D captures in one place

Use Cases

A social media manager producing weekly campaign visuals from text prompts and image-to-video
A teacher creating classroom demo videos and simple 3D models from phone recordings
A product designer converting a prototype spin video into a usable 3D asset for a digital product

Try It Like This

1
Turn a text prompt into a short promo clip
Open Luma's web app → enter a short text prompt and optional reference image → start generation and wait ~60–90 seconds for a short, coherent video ready for download or sharing.
2
Create a social media ad from a product photo
Upload a high-quality product photo → choose the video-generation preset or add motion cues in the prompt → generate multiple short variations and pick one for posting or A/B testing.
3
Make a simple classroom demo video
Access the web app from any browser → type a lesson-scoped prompt or upload an illustrative image → get a short explanatory video to use in class within about a minute or two.
4
Capture a phone clip into a textured 3D model
Record a smooth 20–60 second phone clip of the object while rotating it → upload the clip into Luma's 3D capture tool → receive a realistic, textured 3D model suitable for previews or AR use.
5
Convert a product walkthrough into a usable 3D asset
Upload an existing spin or walkthrough video to the web app → let Luma process and reconstruct geometry and textures → export the 3D asset for use in presentations or lightweight AR viewers.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Combines short video generation and 3D-from-video capture in one web app, so creators don’t need multiple tools.
Turns ordinary phone clips into realistic, textured 3D models suitable for product previews and AR demonstrations.
Web interface lets you manage generated videos and 3D captures in a single place for quick iteration and reuse.

Cons

Output quality depends heavily on input: clear, high-quality images or smooth phone clips yield the best results, so rough or shaky footage may produce weaker models or videos.
Fewer fine-grained editing controls than full 3D suites — good for fast assets and previews but not a complete replacement for advanced modeling software.
