Tried two AI tools for making 3D models from photos and one was way faster

I was working on a small project for my local library in Austin and needed to turn some old photos of a statue into a 3D model. I tried using a free tool called Meshroom first, but it took over 6 hours to process and the result was pretty messy. Then I used Luma AI's Genie, and it gave me a clean, usable model in about 20 minutes. The difference was huge, and it saved me a ton of time. Has anyone else found a better tool for this kind of quick 3D modeling?

But like, is a 3D model of a statue for a library really that big of a deal?

Shows how tech just quietly gets better every day.

Have you tried running Meshroom on a better computer? In my experience, it works way faster with a good GPU.
