Why use Ray 2 Flash for video?
Ultra fast 3D asset generation for rapid creative iteration
Ray 2 Flash produces usable 3D objects in significantly less time than the full Ray 2 model. This makes it ideal for high volume prototyping, quick gameplay iteration, and fast turnaround UA testing.
Solid geometry and readable textures at high speeds
Despite its speed, Ray 2 Flash maintains clean proportions and consistent material detail. Assets remain clear and usable for marketing renders, item showcases, and in engine previews.
Great for generating batches of style matched items
Flash handles theme variety well, allowing teams to produce matching sets of weapons, tools, collectibles, or environment assets. Perfect for LiveOps refreshes and shop content where volume and speed matter.

High volume UA and marketing item renders
Generate multiple variations of items, power ups, or shop assets quickly. Ray 2 Flash supports rapid exploration of silhouettes, colors, and styles for performance testing.

Fast prototyping for gameplay features and content iteration
Create placeholder or near final assets for weapons, consumables, interactables, or enemy types. Ray 2 Flash helps design teams iterate faster during early production.

FAQ
How much does Ray 2 Flash cost? Is it free?+
How does Layer's pricing work?+
There are no seat fees, feature gates, or plans on Layer. Instead, our platform uses a consumption based system with Creative Units (CUs) with a flexible monthly subscription. Every generation on Layer (image, video, 3D, or audio) consumes a Creative Unit, and you only pay for what you create.
