Meshy

What it does

Meshy takes a text description, a photo, a sketch or concept art, or a chat conversation, and produces a 3D model with mesh, textures and optional rigging. Output can be exported as GLB, FBX, OBJ, STL, USDZ or 3MF, so the same asset can go to a game engine, an AR viewer or a slicer.

People use it in a browser web app organised into modules for images, 3D models, 3D printing, animation, scenes and video, or through a chat-based 3D Agent. Developers can call the same generation features through a REST API or connect AI coding agents via an MCP server. Distinctive features include print-focused output with a printability check and auto-repair, Auto Split into parts, multi-color print support, PBR texturing, low-poly mode, and auto-rigging with preset animations.

It suits game developers, 3D artists, makers and hobbyists, designers and educators who want a starting 3D asset without modelling from scratch. A free plan with 100 monthly credits needs no credit card. Generation is credit-limited, and results often need refinement, so check output against your quality and printing needs before relying on it.

What it can do

• Text-to-3D and image-to-3D model generation
• PBR texturing including HD textures
• Auto-rigging for humanoid and quadruped characters with 600+ motion presets
• Low Poly mode with controllable poly count
• Printability check, auto-repair and Auto Split for 3D printing
• Export to GLB, FBX, OBJ, STL, USDZ and 3MF

Works with

• Unity
• Unreal Engine
• Godot
• Blender
• Maya
• Bambu Studio
• OrcaSlicer
• Creality Print
• Ultimaker Cura
• MakerWorld

Example workflows

Print a miniature from a sketch

Input: a sketch or photo of a character. Steps: upload it in Image to 3D, generate the model, run the printability check, use Auto Split if needed. Output: an STL or 3MF file ready to send to a slicer.

Prototype a game character

Input: a text description or concept art. Steps: generate the model, apply PBR texturing, set Low Poly, auto-rig and pick a motion preset. Output: an FBX or GLB character for Unity or Unreal.

Before you choose

• Generation uses credits; the Free plan has 100 per month, and paid plan limits and prices need checking on the pricing page.
• Models may still need refinement for production use or printing.
• The MCP server and API require a Meshy API key.
