Meshy
Meshy creates 3D assets from text, images, or creative concepts for users to preview, edit, and export. Text-to-3D generates textured models from written descriptions, while Image-to-3D works from photos, sketches, or concept art. It can auto-rig humanoid and quadruped characters and offers more than 600 motion presets. For 3D printing, Meshy says its models are watertight and manifold; its printability check scans exports and can repair some edge cases. Integrations include Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, Godot, Roblox Studio, Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer, and Creality Print, along with a REST API and MCP server. The Android and iOS app syncs with the web app and exports formats including STL, GLB, FBX, OBJ, USDZ, and 3MF. The web app has a 100 MB upload limit for AI texturing and accepts one model at a time. Meshy has a free plan; Pro starts at $20 a month. Free-plan assets use CC BY 4.0 and require attribution for commercial use.
