High Dynamic Range (#HDR) imagery has been a critically missing component in adapting Generative AI for high-end production media like film. @ltx_model is doing great work in this space!🤩

[LTX @ltx_model]

We didn't ship HDR and ask if the output held up. We asked studios to break the tech.

Gear Productions. Magnopus. Asteria.
The result: an HDR IC-LoRA on LTX-2.3 producing 16-bit HDR EXR files.

Gear ships LTX shots as final deliverables. Magnopus integrates AI assets onto LED walls. Asteria used the workflow on ChikaBOOM!, a Tribeca 2026 selection.

The line between generated and filmed disappears. Their words, not ours.

Check out the full story.

Drawn on a napkin.
Brought to life with Google. 💙❤️💛💚
