Genie 2 is a revolutionary AI world modeling tool that uses an autoregressive latent diffusion model to generate fully playable, action-responsive 3D environments from a single image prompt. This technology supports realistic physics simulations, dynamic lighting, responsive object interactions, and complex character animations. The generated worlds can be manipulated in real-time, making Genie 2 an invaluable tool for rapid prototyping in game development, AI research, creative design workflows, and environment testing.

Luminar Brush is an advanced image editing tool developed by lllyasviel, the creator of ControlNet. It utilizes a two-stage processing framework: the first stage converts images to uniformly-lit appearances, while the second stage generates illumination effects based on user inputs. This approach simplifies the learning process and avoids complex external constraints. The tool preserves intricate details such as skin textures, hair, and fur, ensuring high-quality results. It's trained with millions of high-quality images, building a robust dataset for the final interactive illumination drawing model, making it ideal for artists, photographers, and visual content creators.
