Generation

Start from text, an image, or a conversation

Text to 3D

Describe it and get a textured model in as little as 45 seconds, no reference image required. 600+ character prompts supported, plus a built-in AI Prompt Helper. See Text to 3D.

Meshy AI Image to 3D reconstructing a model from a photo

Image to 3D & Multi-view

A photo, sketch or concept art becomes a matching textured mesh in about a minute four distinct interpretations per single image, or feed multiple angles for higher fidelity. See Image to 3D.

3D Agent

Chat from an idea, photo or sketch to a 3D model brainstorms directions, batches concepts, and answers 3D questions inline. Free on every plan. See 3D Agent.

Meshy AI mobile app generating a 3D model from a phone photo

Meshy App (Mobile)

Snap a photo, get a 3D model right from your phone, synced to the same account and credits as web. See the mobile app.

Refinement

Texturing, topology and style

🎨

AI Texturing & PBR

Automated UV unwrapping and seam placement, full PBR map sets up to Ultra 4K from a one-line prompt. Works on generated or uploaded meshes (GLB, FBX, OBJ).

🕸️

Remesh & Retopology

Customizable polycount from 1k to 300k. Triangle output for 3D printing, quad for animation. Printability checks for thin walls and floating geometry.

✨

Stylize (Sculpture / PBR / Low Poly)

High-poly sculpture style with baked displacement, PBR style for physically-based output, or deliberately stylized Low Poly (beta) for game-ready assets.

Meshy AI metalness texture map — Metalness

Meshy AI roughness texture map — Roughness

Animation

Rig and animate at zero credit cost

Auto-rigging completes in under 30 seconds for humanoid, quadruped or smart-rig characters. Applying any of the 500+ motion presets walking, idling, jumping, combat costs 0 credits on every plan, including Free.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does Meshy AI actually include?

Four feature families: generation (text/image to mesh, plus the 3D Agent), refinement (texturing, retopology, stylization), animation (auto-rigging and a 500+ motion library), and delivery (exports, plugins, printing, and the API/MCP layer).

What do I get on the Free plan?

Core generation and texturing at a basic level with 100 monthly credits, plus the viewer tools, community access, and unlimited zero-credit rigging and animation. See the Free plan.

What's different about the Meshy 7.1 engine?

Meshy 7.1 is the current default, offering Ultra 2K/4K texturing and the highest detail-richness scores against Hi3D 3.0, Rodin 2.5 and Tripo 3.1 at matched resolution. Earlier models (5/6) remain available for faster, lower-cost drafting. See Meshy 7 benchmarks.

What PBR maps does AI Texturing generate?

A full production-grade set diffuse, roughness, metallic and normal maps, plus an emission map export-ready for Unreal, Unity, Blender, Maya and WebGL, up to Ultra 4K resolution.

Can I texture a mesh I didn't generate in Meshy?

Yes upload a Blender file, a purchased asset, or any third-party mesh via GLB, FBX or OBJ and run AI Texturing on it directly.

Does rigging and animation really cost nothing?

Yes. Auto-rigging and applying any of the 500+ motion presets cost zero credits on every plan, including Free one of the more generous parts of Meshy's pricing model. See more ways to save.

How do the API and MCP server fit in?

The REST API exposes generation, texturing, rigging and animation as HTTPS endpoints; the MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor and Windsurf call those same endpoints directly inside a coding session. See API & MCP and the 3D Agent page for Agent Skills.

Is the 3D Agent a separate product or part of the feature set?

It's part of the same platform a chat-based front end to the same generation engine, free on every plan including Free. See the dedicated 3D Agent page for the full capability breakdown.
