System requirements
Runs onyour PC.
One build for every Windows PC. It uses an NVIDIA graphics card automatically when it finds one.
- Operating system
- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
- Graphics card
- Runs on any PC. An NVIDIA graphics card (CUDA) adds GPU acceleration and the fastest AI High Quality. Without one, everything still works on the CPU, and AI High Quality is slower.
- 3D preview
- OpenGL 3.3 or newer
- Memory
- 16 GB RAM recommended
- Disk space
- Room for the app, plus about 4.8 GB for the optional AI models
- Internet
- Only to download the optional AI models once, inside the app. Everything else works offline.
FAQ
Questions,answered.
Do I need an internet connection?
Only once, to download the optional AI models (about 4.8 GB) from inside the app. After that, PBR Forge works fully offline.
Does it work with AMD or Intel graphics?
Yes. PBR Forge runs on any Windows 10 or 11 PC. GPU acceleration uses NVIDIA cards (CUDA). On AMD or Intel graphics it runs on the CPU, and AI High Quality takes longer.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once and keep the version you bought.
Where does the AI run?
On your own PC. Your textures never leave your computer, and there are no AI fees or accounts.
Which engines does it export for?
Presets for Unreal Engine, Unity, Blender and Godot, with OpenGL or DirectX normal maps and ORM packing.
Which version do I get?
PBR Forge 3, the current version.
