Requirements¶
Hardware Requirements¶
Warning
Meshroom requires an NVIDIA GPU card with a CUDA compute capability >= 2.0 for the MVS part. You can check your CUDA Properties here or on the NVIDIA dev page.
In case you do not have a CUDA GPU, you can use the draft meshing option which uses the CPU for meshing.
Here are the minimum requirements for Meshroom:
Minimum requirements |
|
|---|---|
Operating systems |
Windows x64, Linux, macOS (some work required) |
CPU |
Recent Intel or AMD cpus |
RAM Memory |
8 GB |
Hard Drive |
~400 MB for Meshroom + space for your data |
GPU |
NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPU (compute capability >= 2.0) |
To obtain better performances on a desktop/laptop machine the recommended requirements are:
Recommended requirements |
|
|---|---|
CPU |
Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 |
RAM Memory |
32 GB |
Hard Drive |
20 GB+ HDD or SSD |
GPU |
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 |
Software Requirements¶
Meshroom is a Python application and it relies on the AliceVision framework. If you are using the pre-built binaries everything is shipped with the package, so you do not need to install anything else.
In case you are still planning to use the sources, see the paragraph Software Environment in the Building Meshroom section
