Overview
Meshy is an AI platform that allows three-dimensional (3D) content creation from text data and two-dimensional images. Users can leverage Meshy's features to convert text into a textured rendering, develop compelling 3D models from textual prompts, and transform an image into a 3D model with minimal effort. It has an AI-powered texture feature that lets users apply textures to 3D models seamlessly. Meshy offers a variety of art styles, including realistic, cartoon, and sculpture formats. Its interface is simple and intuitive, which makes it user-friendly, enabling non-experts to utilize it effectively. Meshy supports multiple languages and offers an Application Programming Interface (API) that allows its integration into other applications to expand its functionality. Users also have the advantage of previewing their work on a browser immediately after completion. It allows users to export their 3D models in various formats like FBX, OBJ, STL, BLEND, and USDZ for easy compatibility with other software applications.

How it works
Getting Started
• Sign up at https://www.meshy.ai
• Free tier available; paid plans unlock more generations & downloads
Main Features
• Text to 3D — describe what you want, get a 3D model
• Image to 3D — upload a reference image, convert to 3D
• Text to Texture — apply AI-generated textures to existing meshes
• AI Animate — rig and animate 3D characters
Workflow
1. Pick a mode (Text/Image to 3D)
2. Enter your prompt or upload an image
3. Generate a draft preview (fast, low-poly)
4. Refine → generate the textured final model
5. Download in formats like GLB, FBX, OBJ, STL, USDZ
API Access
• Available via REST API — models generated via API don't appear in the Workspace UI (intentional). Use the List Tasks API to retrieve them.
