3D generators under 24 GB of VRAM
VRAM thresholds, backends and licenses come from the tool fact sheets: every value is collected by code from an official source and stamped with the date it was checked. Requirements marked with an asterisk * are the authors’ own description, not our measurement. Details are on each tool’s page.

Cloud services — no VRAM needed
They compute on their own servers, so a hardware filter does not apply to them.

Fact sheets are re-checked monthly; every value on a tool page has a source link and a check date. The asterisk * means “as described by the author”: a developer’s statement, not an independent measurement.
