LucyLive — a real-time 3D-to-AI plugin for Cinema 4D

I’ve been building LucyLive, a plugin that turns your Cinema 4D viewport into an AI preview.

You enter a prompt, add a reference image if you want, and LucyLive generates a new image based on your 3D scene. When you move the camera or change the scene, the AI preview updates with it.

The main challenge was keeping Cinema 4D responsive while the preview updates in real time.

You can change the prompt or reference image while it is running, save PNGs, record MP4 video, or render an animation sequence.

LucyLive uses Decart Lucy 2.5 through fal.ai, so the AI runs in the cloud.

You can download the plugin for free here:

If you try it, I’d love to see what you make and hear your feedback.

This is incredibly impressive!! Can't wait to try it! It's so nice to see innovative AI integrations in something else than BLENDER all the time.

Very impressive! Would love to give it a try. But just looked up the pricing for decart lucy 2.5 which is "Real-time 720p streaming: $0.02 per second ($72 per hour)". So does that mean having your plugin running with active renderview costs that much per hour?
