Meshy generates 3D models from text prompts or reference images and outputs them with retopology and PBR textures. The output is good enough for game prototypes and asset blocking. Fine detail is still weak and production assets need cleanup, but as a starting point it is fast.
Who it is for
A game developer or 3D artist blocking out assets from a concept image.
Key features
- Text-to-3D and image-to-3D generation
- Automatic retopology and UV mapping
- PBR texture generation
- GLB, FBX, OBJ and USDZ export
- Blender and Unity integration
Where it falls short
Credits are spent per attempt rather than per usable asset, so the real cost of a game-ready model is several times the listed price.
Pricing
Free tier gives a monthly credit allowance. Paid starts around $20 a month and credits are consumed per generation and per texture pass. Complex models cost several credits each.
Prices move; the tier structure is the part that stays true. Check current pricing on Meshy.
