Meshy: AI 3D models, PBR textures and character animation
Meshy creates 3D models from text prompts and reference images, then adds textures, mesh refinements and character animation. Its browser workspace and developer API cover asset generation, PBR materials, remeshing and exports for 3D editors, game engines and printing. Model settings and licensing differ between free access, paid plans and API use.

Generate a 3D asset, then refine its geometry and materials
Meshy combines text-to-3D and image-to-3D creation with tools for preparing the result for further editing. A prompt can establish an object concept; an image supplies a visual reference. Multiple views provide another input route for assets with several visible sides.
The texture tools work with generated assets and existing models. Text prompts or image references guide surface appearance, while PBR maps represent material properties such as roughness, metalness and normals. Available maps and resolution depend on the model: the API supports 8K base color on supported models, while Meshy 6 Lite is limited to 2K.
Remeshing provides triangle or quad-dominant geometry with a configurable target. The API’s numeric range runs from 100 to 300,000 faces, but the resulting count can vary. Smart Topology uses a different generation route and its own limits; it is not interchangeable with the remesh range.
Rigging, animation and exports extend the asset beyond a static preview. Files can move into professional 3D editors, engines or print preparation software. Format support differs between generation and processing endpoints, and an export option alone does not establish that a model is ready for a particular production pipeline.
Best for
- Artists developing 3D props and character concepts
- Creators adding textures to existing models
- Developers integrating 3D generation and mesh processing
Limitations
Free assets require attribution and have download limits. Paid web credits and prepaid API credits are separate. Topology, texture maps and export options depend on the selected model or endpoint. Generated models can still need geometry, UV, scale or animation cleanup.

Compare with MeshyMeshy FAQs
Can Meshy texture an existing 3D model?
Yes. Its AI texturing tools use a description or reference image to create new textures for an existing model.
Does Meshy support 8K textures?
The image-to-3D API supports 8192 × 8192 base color textures on compatible models. Meshy 6 Lite does not support 4K or 8K, and emission-map availability is model-specific.
Are Meshy web credits usable through the API?
Web subscriptions and prepaid API credits have separate balances and billing.
Does Meshy produce quad meshes?
Its remesh API supports quad-dominant output. Smart Topology is a separate route with different face-count limits.
