# Meshy

> Turn text prompts and 2D images into textured, printable 3D models.

Meshy is a generative AI platform that converts text prompts and 2D images into textured 3D assets in seconds. It handles automatic character rigging with animation presets, generates full PBR texture maps, and inspects models for watertight 3D printing. It also includes plugins for major tools like Blender and Unity, alongside direct export to standard formats.

## What it is for

- Turn concept art or photos into textured 3D models for game development
- Auto-rig humanoid and quadruped models with ready-made animation presets
- Generate watertight, sliced, and multi-color 3D models for printing
- Generate full PBR texture sets with normal and roughness maps from text

## Features

- Text-to-3D and Image-to-3D mesh generation
- AI PBR texturing with up to 4K resolution maps
- Automated rigging for humanoid and quadruped meshes with 600+ motion presets
- Printability checks with auto-repair for watertight, manifold geometry
- Auto-split tooling for multi-color or oversized 3D prints
- Low-poly remeshing options for real-time engine performance
- Export support for FBX, OBJ, GLB, USDZ, STL, and 3MF formats
- Integrations and plugins for Blender, Unity, and slicing software like Bambu Studio
