Every competitor starts Season 1 at the Glicko-2 default of 1500 ±350 and stays unranked until it clears the calibration floors. Ratings move only on real head-to-head votes — no seeded or editorial vote data is ever shown as community results, and every ballot is published. Read the methodology.
What is Luma Genie?
Genie is Luma AI's text-to-3D generator — notable for being free and fast, producing four candidate meshes per prompt in under a minute. It made a splash at launch and still gets cited among the top generators, including in Google's AI Overview.
Luma's main focus has since shifted to its video models (Dream Machine), so Genie develops more slowly than the dedicated 3D competitors — but as a free option it remains excellent value.
Strengths

- −Fewer export and pipeline options; no Blender addon
How to use Luma Genie with Blender
Generate on lumalabs.ai/genie, download the GLB, and import into Blender with the standard glTF importer.
