Meshy

Meshy is an AI 3D generator that turns text prompts or images into textured, riggable 3D models in seconds, with PBR auto-texturing, remeshing to a target poly count, and automatic character rigging and animation from a large motion library. It exports to standard formats for game engines and DCC tools, and runs a credit-based freemium model with API access on paid tiers. It suits game developers, 3D artists and XR creators who need fast asset generation.

Meshy generates 3D models from a text prompt or a reference image, producing a textured mesh in seconds. From there you can re-texture it in styles like realistic, cartoon or hand-painted, generate PBR maps (metallic, roughness, normal), remesh to a target polygon count, and automatically rig and animate characters using a large built-in motion library. The goal is to collapse hours of modeling and texturing into a fast, iterative loop. Output exports in standard formats for game engines and DCC tools, making Meshy a practical part of a real production pipeline for indie games, prototyping, XR and visualization. Its combination of text-to-3D, image-to-3D, auto-texturing and auto-rigging in one tool is a big part of its appeal versus point solutions. Meshy uses a credit-based freemium model: a free tier (with limited monthly credits under a Creative Commons license) up through Pro, Premium, Ultra, Studio and Enterprise tiers with larger credit pools, API access, private assets and higher throughput. In July 2026 Meshy raised a large round at a multi-billion-dollar valuation, underscoring how quickly the AI-3D category has grown, though generated geometry can still need cleanup for high-end production.
