Meshy is an AI 3D model generator that turns text prompts and images into production-ready 3D models, with PBR texturing, auto-rigging, animation, and print-ready exports for game developers, 3D artists, and designers.
About
Meshy is an AI-powered 3D content platform that converts text descriptions and 2D images into usable 3D models in roughly 20 to 30 seconds. It addresses a common bottleneck in 3D workflows: modeling, texturing, and rigging assets by hand takes hours, while Meshy automates those steps so creators can move from an idea, photo, or sketch to an exportable model in under a minute.
At a high level, users either type a text prompt or upload a photo, sketch, or concept art, and Meshy generates a 3D model that can then be textured, rigged, animated, and exported. The platform is built for game development, 3D printing, product design, and animation pipelines, and it works in a browser along with a mobile app. Meshy also offers a REST API, a CLI, an MCP server for AI agents such as Claude and Cursor, and plugins for Blender, Unity, Bambu Studio, and Creality Print. The company reports more than 12 million users and over 100 million generated models. Meshy 7.1 is the current foundation model release, tuned for geometry that closely matches the input reference.
