Luma Ray3.2

the only one that speaks a professional colour pipeline

native 16-bit HDR and EXR export in ACES is unique here and genuinely matters to post houses — but it generates no audio in a year when everything else does.

first, a correction: dream machine, ray2, ray3 and ray3.14 are all superseded. ray3.2 arrived in june and anything recommending luma dream machine is out of date.

luma's real differentiator is the colour pipeline. native 16-bit HDR and EXR export in ACES2065-1 is something no other model on this list offers, and for a vfx shop that has to composite and grade generated footage alongside real plates, that is the difference between usable and not.

the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

our verdict

native 16-bit HDR and EXR export in ACES is unique here and genuinely matters to post houses — but it generates no audio in a year when everything else does.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
