For the AI un-initiated; is this something you could feasibly run at home? eg on a 4090? (How can I tell how "big" the model is from the github or huggingface page?)

I tried using Hunyuan3D-2 on a 4090 GPU. The Windows install encountered build errors, but it worked better on WSL Ubuntu. I first tried it with CUDA 11.3 but got a build error. Switching to CUDA 12.4 worked better. I ran it with their demo image but it reported that the mesh was too big. I removed the mesh size check and it ran fine on the 4090. It is a bit slow on my i9 14k with 128G of memory.

(I previously tried the stability 3d models: https://stability.ai/stable-3d and this seems similar in quality and speed)

Cool, thanks. I'm kinda interested so hearing it at least runs on a 4090 means I might give it a go one weekend.

The hunyuan3d-dit-v2-0 model is 4.93 GB. ComfyUI is on their roadmap, might be best to wait for that, although it doesn't look complicated to use in their example code.
