In this video, I review Meta's new SAM3D: a free, open-source AI model for 3D reconstruction from a single image. I'll test its 3D generation, compare it to other open-source tools like Hunyuan, and break down its output (Gaussian splatting vs. textured meshes). I also cover the requirements for local installation on Windows and Linux, including VRAM needs, to see if SAM3D is a viable tool for your workflow. 🙌 - Compare side-by-side best 3D AI tools and find the best for you!🙌 👀 @PixelArtistry_ - Philipp from PixelArtistry, ComfyUI Guides on how to run 3D model generation locally and for free and much more!
