What's Ray3?

Ray3 is the next generation of Luma AI'sVideo GenerationThe model focuses on high-quality and professional-grade creation. Its biggest feature is its "reasoning ability", which can understand the logic of the scene and the user's intention during the generation process, ensuring that the result is more reasonable and coherent. At the same time, it provides a "draft mode", which allows you to quickly produce a movie for lens and composition verification, and then upgrade to a high-fidelity version, which greatly improves the efficiency of creation.

Ray3 supports HDR video generation up to 16-bit color depth and can export professional formats such as EXR to meet demanding scenarios such as film and television post-production and advertising production. It not only supports text prompts, but also combines image or video input and allows users to draw action paths and positions through visual annotations, enhancing controllability and expressiveness. Whether it's a film or TV preview, a short advertisement, conceptual design or social content creation, Ray3 can help creators realize visual expressions with texture and storytelling more efficiently.

Key Features of Ray3

Scenarios for Ray3

• Short film / Drama / Commercial production: Promotional films, commercials, branding shorts, etc. that require high visual impact, strong picture quality, and colorful lighting.
• Pre-Film & Concept Design: In the Storyboard or Conceptual Clip stage of a movie/animation, use the draft to quickly verify the composition/lighting/shooting angle/atmosphere.
• Brand/Product Promotional Video: New product launches, product introductions, trend presentations, etc. Type that wants sophisticated graphics, advanced color palette, and strong texture.
• Social Media/Content Creators: Video platforms, short videos / Reels / Shakeology type content, but want to stand out visually with high quality HDR or a strong sense of color.
• Education / Science / Cultural Content: When there is a need to visualize abstract content (demos, animations, examples), or to make instructional/explanatory videos, it is desirable to have images/videos to assist with text/notes/visual guides.
• Post-color / compositing workflow material generation: You want to generate high-quality footage that can be further processed in color grading/compositing software, such as EXR format.

How to use Ray3?

1. Register/Get Access
   Sign up with Luma AI's Dream Machine or the platform/application that Ray3 is on. See if you can use the free or trial mode first. Make sure you know your account permissions: can you output HDR, EXR, high-resolution video, etc.?
2. Planning / Conceptualization
   Design your content before generating it: textual cues should be as clear as possible (scene, lighting, action, atmosphere, etc.); if there are reference images, have them ready; if there is more than one shot/scene, make it clear that there is character consistency and style consistency.
3. Experiment with Draft Mode first!
   Use draft mode to quickly generate first/multiple versions and check if the composition, animation movements, scene transitions, and color atmosphere are what you want. Because drafts are fast and inexpensive. Adjust cues and visual annotations with draft mode.
4. Utilizing visual annotations for fine control
   At the draft or image input stage, use labeling/drawing to point out motion trajectories, positions, camera angles, light directions, etc. This can make the generated result closer to your intention.
5. Upgrade to Hi-Fi/HDR output
   Once the draft is oriented, select High Fidelity mode to output the video/EXR file in 4K HDR or higher color depth. This saves resources and ensures the quality of the final footage.
6. post-processing
   If needed, EXR or HDR output can be imported into professional color grading software (e.g. DaVinci Resolve), compositing software (e.g. After Effects, Nuke), etc. for color grading/overlaying/mixing. You can also do more editing/sound effects/soundtracks.
7. Attention to resources & equipment
   HDR + High Resolution + High Color Depth videos are demanding on hardware and storage. Make sure your computer/workstation/storage system can handle these high profile files. The export format and size will also depend on the final platform (movie theater/web/social media).

Recommended Reasons

• Strong visual quality: HDR + High Color Depth + Professional Format Output provides quality closer to the captured footage for professional use.
• Strong flexibility and good control: Drafts + annotations + multimodal inputs, giving the creator more room to intervene/guide, so that "it doesn't come out all wrong".
• Efficiency gains: The draft model saves time and cost; iterates quickly; and speeds up the creative process.
• Strong creative expression: The inference capability allows the model to be more sophisticated in understanding scene logic, physical lighting, and visual consistency to produce a more coherent, storytelling visual output.
