WHAT IT IS
Genie is a 3D generation service Luma AI introduced in 2023, accepting both text and image inputs. It turns a prompt into a textured 3D mesh, produces several variants within seconds, and supports export to common 3D formats. Genie is offered as a web app and does not release its weights.
Why it matters
It turned 3D generation into an instant service — one sentence in, a model out in seconds — lowering the barrier to producing 3D assets and moving 3D generation from paper demos to usable tools.
