Meshy V7.1
Makes a 3D model out of words or out of one to four photographs of the same object, with colour and surface on it. It can rig the model as a poseable character and play one of 697 built-in movements. The file it makes stands on the 3D Scene Composer. Made by Meshy. From $0.132 a 3D model.

Parameters
| Name | Required | Values | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| prompt | For text-to-3d | text | What to make, in plain words.Only with text-to-3d | |
| image_url | For image-to-3d | https URL | A picture to start from. We fetch it and keep a copy for the job.Only with image-to-3d | |
| texture_image_url | No | https URL | 2D image to guide the texturing process | |
| image_urls | For multi-image-to-3d | https URLs | Pictures to use as references.Only with multi-image-to-3d | |
| model_type | No | standard, lowpoly, smart-topology, smart-topology-t2 | standard | Type of 3D mesh generation. 'standard' produces a regular high-detail mesh; 'lowpoly' produces a low-poly mesh optimized for cleaner polygons; 'smart-topology' (Smart Topology T2.5) and 'smart-topology-t2' (Smart Topology T2) produce clean, triangle-only meshes with natively separated parts — T2.5 has sharper detail, T2 is faster. When set to 'lowpoly', the remesh controls (topology, target_polycount, should_remesh) are ignored by Meshy. |
| topology | No | quad, triangle | triangle | Specify the topology of the generated model. Quad for smooth surfaces, Triangle for detailed geometry. |
| target_polycount | No | 100 to 300000 | 30000 | Target number of polygons in the generated model. When model_type is a smart topology option and this is left unset, that model's default is used instead (15,000 for T2.5, 4,000 for T2); the maximum is 30,000 for T2.5 and 15,000 for T2. |
| symmetry_mode | No | off, auto, on | auto | Controls symmetry behavior during model generation. Off disables symmetry, Auto determines it automatically, On enforces symmetry. |
| should_remesh | No | true, false | true | Whether to enable the remesh phase |
| should_texture | No | true, false | true | Whether to generate textures |
| enable_pbr | No | true, false | false | Generate PBR Maps (metallic, roughness, normal) in addition to base color |
| pose_mode | No | a-pose, t-pose, | Pose mode for the generated model. 'a-pose' generates an A-pose, 't-pose' generates a T-pose, empty string for no specific pose. | |
| texture_prompt | No | text | Text prompt to guide the texturing process | |
| enable_rigging | No | true, false | false | Automatically rig the generated model as a humanoid character. Includes basic walking and running animations. Best results with humanoid characters that have clearly defined limbs. |
| rigging_height_meters | No | number | 1.7 | Approximate height of the character in meters. Only used when enable_rigging is true. |
| enable_animation | No | true, false | false | Apply an animation preset to the rigged model. Requires enable_rigging to be true. |
| animation_action_id | No | integer | 92 | Animation preset ID from Meshy's library. Only used when enable_animation is true; in that case it must be in [0, 696] (``0`` is the "Idle" preset) and is otherwise rejected with a 422. |
| geometry_resolution | No | standard, 2k, 4k | Geometry resolution. 4k is only available with Meshy-7.1. | |
| mode | No | preview, full | full | Generation mode. 'preview' returns untextured geometry only, 'full' returns textured model (preview + refine).Only with text-to-3d |
| enable_prompt_expansion | No | true, false | false | Let the model add detail to a short prompt.Only with text-to-3d |
| is_a_t_pose | No | Deprecated: use pose_mode instead. When true, generates a T-pose model. | ||
| ultra_mode | No | Deprecated: use geometry_resolution='2k'. If both fields are provided, geometry_resolution takes precedence. | ||
| seed | No | integer | The same seed with the same settings gives a similar result. Leave it out for a random one.Only with text-to-3d |
