Understanding Minimum vs. Recommended
MINIMUM | RECOMMENDED |
Basic functionality | Optimal performance |
VStitcher & Lotta System Requirements
Windows
Not Recommended on Virtual Machines
Performance will be significantly reduced. Always install on a physical laptop or workstation for optimal results.
Minimum Setup
Basic functionality — slower performance on complex garments
Component | Specification |
Processor | Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 |
RAM | 16GB DDR4 |
GPU | NVIDIA® GTX 1050+/ Quadro P2200 or AMD: RX 550+ |
GPU Memory | 4GB VRAM minimum; 8GB recommended |
Storage | 256GB HDD |
Display | 1920×1080 @ 60Hz |
Operating System | Windows 10 64-bit (2024.2.x, 2025.1.x, 2025.2.1, 2025.3.x) |
Accessories | 3-button mouse (left, right, scroll wheel) required |
Recommended Setup
Optimal performance — smooth workflow with complex garments
Component | Specification |
Processor | Intel Core i7/i9 (12th gen+) or AMD Ryzen 9 series (12+ cores at 3.2GHz+) |
RAM | 32GB DDR4 |
GPU | NVIDIA RTX 3000 series or Quadro RTX |
GPU Memory | 8GB VRAM or higher |
Storage | 512GB SSD (minimum) |
Display | 2560×1440 @ 60Hz |
Operating System | Windows 11 (2024.2.x, 2025.1.x, 2025.2.1, 2025.3.x) |
Accessories | 3-button mouse (left, right, scroll wheel) required |
V-Ray GPU Rendering (Windows)
Additional requirements if using V-Ray for GPU rendering:
Component | Specification |
GPU Required | NVIDIA RTX-class GPU (Turing generation or newer) |
Compute Capability | 5.2 or higher |
GPU Memory | Minimum 8GB VRAM |
Driver | Latest NVIDIA Studio Driver (581.57 or newer) |
Important: GPU Memory Requirement
Your entire scene—including all geometry and textures—must fit into the GPU's VRAM for RTX mode to work. Complex scenes may fall back to CPU rendering if they exceed available GPU memory.
MacOS
Not Recommended on Virtual Machines
Performance will be significantly reduced. Always install on a physical laptop or workstation.
Ray Tracing Not Available
Apple hardware lacks hardware-accelerated ray tracing support. This feature is not available on macOS systems.
Minimum Setup
Basic functionality — slower performance on complex garments
Component | Specification |
Processor | Intel i7 with 8 cores |
RAM | 16GB DDR4 |
GPU | AMD Radeon R9 M375 (4GB) |
Storage | 256GB HDD |
Display | 1920×1080 @ 60Hz |
Operating System | macOS 15.4 Sequoia or later |
Accessories | 3-button mouse recommended |
Recommended Setup
Optimal performance — smooth workflow with complex garments
Component | Specification |
Processor | Apple Silicon M1 or newer |
RAM | 32GB DDR4 |
GPU | Apple M1 GPU or newer (16GB or higher) |
Storage | 512GB SSD (minimum) |

Operating System | macOS 26.1 Tahoe |
Accessories | 3-button mouse recommended |
Other Browzwear Tools
DB Admin
Component | Specification |
Operating System | Windows |
RAM | 4GB minimum |
Storage | 256GB HDD |
Connection | USB port to FAB device |
SQL Server (Shared Database)
Component | Specification |
Operating System | Windows Server |
Processor | 2.0 GHz or faster |

VStitcher CLI
Also known as VStitcher Headless or Vstitcher Server Engine.
Component | Specification |
Environment | Windows Server with GPU instance (e.g., AWS g4dn.xlarge) |
RAM | 16GB minimum |
Requirements | Internet access and VStitcher CLI license |
License Server
The license server can be any functional computer, as long as client workstations can communicate with it using stable, high-speed bandwidth connections. Your firewall must allow license information exchange between the server and client workstations in both directions. Contact your IT support team if you experience connectivity issues.
Glossary
GPU / Graphics Card
A dedicated processor that handles graphics and 3D rendering. Essential for smooth 3D navigation and real-time textures in Browzwear products.
VRAM
Video RAM—the memory on your graphics card. More VRAM means better performance when working with complex garments and high-resolution textures.
DDR4
The type of system RAM most modern computers use. Standard on computers built in the last 5+ years.
RTX / Ray Tracing
A rendering technique that creates photorealistic images by simulating how light bounces around a scene. Only available on NVIDIA RTX-class GPUs.
SSD vs. HDD
SSD (solid-state drive) is significantly faster and is recommended for optimal performance. HDD (hard disk drive) is older technology and slower, but still functional for basic tasks.
Compute Capability
A technical specification of NVIDIA GPUs indicating their performance tier. Higher numbers represent newer, more capable graphics cards.
