What Meshy does
Meshy is an AI 3D creation platform with text-to-3D, image-to-3D, texturing, remeshing, rigging, animation, printing workflows, a REST API, and MCP integration.
Meshy offers an end-to-end browser workflow rather than only a mesh generator. Its modules cover images, 3D models, printing, animation, scenes, and video, while 3D Agent provides a conversational surface. The API exposes text-to-3D, image-to-3D, texturing, remeshing, and animation, and an MCP server connects generation to compatible agents.
Free currently includes 100 monthly credits. Official documentation lists Free, Pro, Studio, and Enterprise tiers and says a full Meshy 6 text-to-3D or image-to-3D task costs 20 credits. Paid plans add private assets and commercial rights, while free output uses CC BY 4.0 with attribution. Exact subscription amounts and credit bundles should be confirmed on the live upgrade page.
Generated assets are starting points, not guaranteed production geometry or printable CAD. Surfaces can be hidden, topology may deform poorly, fine text can fail, references can create unwanted similarity, and a visually plausible object may be structurally invalid. Meshy's terms prohibit sensitive personal data and infringing inputs; teams should clear references, scan meshes, retopologize, test rigs and prints, and review licenses.
How Meshy works
A creator supplies a text description, one or more reference images, or a conversational brief. Meshy's generative models create a mesh and textures, after which post-processing tools can remesh, texture, rig, animate, or prepare an export. Web tasks and API calls consume credits according to model and operation, with results saved to the user's library. People must inspect geometry, topology, UVs, textures, scale, rigging, printability, similarity, and source rights before production.
How to set up Meshy
Specify the asset requirements
Define use, style, dimensions, polygon budget, topology, texture maps, rigging, animation, print constraints, formats, and rights.
Prepare a clean lawful reference
Use original prompts or owned images with a simple background and consistent views; remove sensitive or protected material.
Generate low-risk candidates
Compare text and image workflows, inspect previews from all angles, and avoid spending the whole credit budget on one prompt.
Run the post-processing pipeline
Remesh or retopologize, correct UVs and textures, set scale, repair non-manifold geometry, rig, and test deformations or slicing.
Validate and document export
Confirm plan license, attribution, source permissions, file integrity, engine or printer performance, and retain human-edited masters.
Meshy FAQs
Is Meshy free?
Yes. Official documentation lists 100 free monthly credits without a card, though model access, downloads, privacy, and licensing are limited.
How many credits does a 3D model cost?
A full Meshy 6 text-to-3D or image-to-3D task is currently documented at 20 credits; other models and operations differ.
Can free models be used commercially?
Yes, under the documented CC BY 4.0 license with attribution. Paid plans provide private output and broader commercial use terms.
Does Meshy provide an API?
Yes. REST endpoints cover generation and post-processing, and official documentation also describes an API playground and MCP server.
Are Meshy models production-ready without editing?
Not reliably. Geometry, topology, textures, scale, rigging, printability, and legal similarity all require inspection and often manual cleanup.
