Final Verdict
Luma Genie is the most accessible entry point to AI 3D generation — integrated into Luma's existing platform makes it natural for users already using Luma Dream Machine. Quality is improving rapidly but still best suited for concept validation rather than production-ready assets. Meshy AI offers comparable capability as a dedicated 3D tool.
