Meshy turns a simple text prompt or image into a complete 3D model — textured, rigged and animatable — in under a minute. The tool combines two engines (text-to-3D and image-to-3D), PBR texturing up to 4K and automatic rigging that unlocks more than 600 animations, then exports to the main formats (GLB, FBX, OBJ, USDZ, STL, 3MF) and engines (Unity, Unreal, Godot, Blender). Built to speed up prototyping, it is aimed at game developers and makers as much as at content creators, with a genuinely usable free plan and an API for technical teams.
Overview of Meshy
Detailed overview
✅ Strengths
- Two generation engines: text-to-3D to explore, image-to-3D to faithfully reproduce a reference
- Complete pipeline with PBR textures up to 4K (albedo, normal, metallic, roughness)
- Automatic rigging and animation: more than 600 animations for humanoids and quadrupeds
- Universal export to GLB, FBX, OBJ, USDZ, STL and 3MF for Unity, Unreal, Godot, Blender or 3D slicers
- Manifold repair of the geometry and a low poly mode for printing and real time
- Free plan with no credit card and an API to industrialise generations
⚠️ Limits
- Non-rollover credit system that resets every month
- Raw mesh that needs retopology for demanding 3D production
- Free plan under a CC BY 4.0 licence, which requires crediting the source
- API and full ownership of the models reserved for paid plans
- Interface and documentation mainly in English
❓ FREQUENT QUESTIONS
FAQ — Meshy
Which export formats does Meshy offer?
Models export to GLB, FBX, OBJ, USDZ, STL and 3MF, compatible with Unity, Unreal, Godot, Blender and 3D printing slicers.
What is the difference between text-to-3D and image-to-3D?
Text-to-3D generates an object from a written prompt, ideal for exploring ideas; image-to-3D rebuilds a volume faithful to a photo, a sketch or a piece of concept art.
Can Meshy animate the models?
Yes. The platform automatically fits a skeleton to humanoids and quadrupeds and gives access to more than 600 preset animations, with no third-party software.
Is there a free version?
Yes. The free plan offers 100 credits per month with no credit card, but places the models under a CC BY 4.0 licence; full ownership and the API require a paid plan.
Do subscription credits roll over?
No. Credits included in a subscription reset every month and do not accumulate, whereas separately purchased credits do not expire.
A text prompt or an image, and a textured, rigged and animated 3D model, ready to use in under a minute.
