Hey everyone,

I recently subscribed to Tripo AI for one month and honestly, it worked really well for generating 3D models from multiple reference images. I usually provide front, side, and other angle views, and it creates pretty decent models from them.

The problem is that the 50% discount was only for the first month, so now I am looking for alternative tools, preferably free ones.

I wanted to ask:

1. Are there any free AI tools that can generate 3D models using different-view images?
2. Any good open-source or local AI models I can run on my PC?
3. I am mainly interested in character/art-style 3D generation, but general-purpose tools are fine too.

My PC specs:

1. Intel Core i5-12400F (12th Gen)
2. RTX 5060 8GB (PNY)
3. 32 GB RAM (Lexar)
4. Gigabyte B660M DS3H DDR4 motherboard
5. 256 GB Kingston NVMe SSD
6. 2 TB Seagate HDD
7. Thermaltake Toughpower GT Snow 850W PSU

I have created different textures in 512 px, 2K, and 4K. Now the scene has become heavy, and I want to change all the 4K textures to 2K or 512 px. The problem is that I don’t know which objects have 4K textures. How can I find which textures are 4K in size?

Also, I created different models in separate Blender files. When I append them into a single Blender file and then remove the original files, the appended models become purple. From searching online, I learned that if I go to File > External Data > Automatically Pack Resources, and for each appended model go to the Material tab and enable the fake user (shield icon), it will save the textures. I’m not sure if this works or not.
