It features state-of-the-art visual intelligence, including 16-bit HDR generation, Draft Mode for faster iteration, visual annotation, and advanced physics simulations for superior realism and character consistency.
How to use Ray 3 AI?
Experience visual reasoning and HDR generation in three intelligent steps:
1. Upload & Annotate: Upload your image or use visual annotations. Ray3 understands your creative intent through advanced reasoning.
2. Draft or Master: Use Draft Mode for 5x faster iteration or go straight to production-ready 4K HDR. Ray3 thinks through your prompt with Chain of Thought.
3. Export in HDR: Download your video in 16-bit HDR or export as EXR frames for professional workflows, ensuring studio-grade quality every time.
How does Ray3's visual reasoning work?
Ray3 uses Chain of Thought to understand your intent, think through visual concepts, and judge outputs. It interprets prompts with nuance and retries until meeting your quality bar, creating complex scenes and intricate multi-step motion.
What is Draft Mode in Ray3?
Draft Mode lets you iterate 5x faster and 5x cheaper. Explore ideas in seconds like sketching videos, then use Hi-Fi Diffusion to master your best shots into production-ready 4K HDR footage.
What makes Ray3's HDR unique?
Ray3 is the world's first model to deliver studio-grade HDR through native 16-bit high dynamic range color generation. Export as 16-bit EXR frames for seamless integration into professional workflows.
How fast is Ray3 video generation?
Draft Mode generates videos in seconds for rapid iteration. Full HDR generation typically takes 1-2 minutes. Ray3's reasoning capabilities ensure quality output rather than just speed.
Can Ray3 interpret visual annotations?
Yes! Ray3 interprets visual annotations like a creative partner. You can precisely specify layout, motion, and character interactions through visual cues, making complex scene creation intuitive.
What formats does Ray3 support?
Ray3 accepts JPG, PNG, WEBP images and can generate from text or visual annotations. Output includes 4K HDR video and professional 16-bit EXR frame sequences for studio pipelines.
