A practical starting workflow
- Describe a model in text, upload an image, or snap a photo in the Meshy app.
- Generate the 3D model, then add AI textures or auto-rig and animate a character.
- Download the model for printing, a game or a product scene, within the plan's download limit.
Check before committing
- The pricing page states the currency as USD and offers first-month discounts on some plans; discount prices are not recorded as the standard monthly charge.
- Free-plan assets use a CC BY 4.0 licence, so attribution and licence terms apply to free-tier output.
