Meshy v7 — Create 3D Models from Text or Images
Meshy's Flagship 3D Generator for Text and Images
Meshy v7 gives you three ways to create a 3D model. Describe what you want in plain language, upload a single reference image, or add up to four photos of the same object from different angles for a more accurate reconstruction. Every mode offers detailed control over the result: choose a standard, low-poly, or smart-topology mesh; use triangles or quads; set a target polygon count; and add PBR materials. Ultra mode delivers Meshy v7's best texture and geometry quality. Preview the finished model on this page, then export it as GLB, FBX, OBJ, USDZ, or STL.
Each input mode suits a different starting point. Text to 3D creates a model from a written description: name the object, describe its style and important details, then choose a fast untextured preview, a fully textured result, or Ultra quality. Image to 3D works best when you already have a product photo, render, or piece of concept art to use as a reference. For a more accurate representation of a real object, Multi-image to 3D combines up to four photos taken from different angles into one consistent mesh—no scanning rig required.
Meshy v7 expands the direct mesh controls the series is known for. Its new smart-topology option automatically creates clean, game-ready edge flow alongside the standard and low-poly styles. Choose triangles for meshes that are ready for a game engine, or quads for easier editing in DCC tools. You can also set a target polygon count, control symmetry, and add PBR materials for realistic lighting. Ultra mode produces Meshy v7's highest-quality textured output for prominent, close-up assets. Auto-rigging adds a skeleton to characters, and you can apply a preset animation at the same time.
The workflow is straightforward: choose a mode, add your text or images, adjust the mesh and texture settings, and generate. Use the interactive viewer to orbit, zoom, and inspect the silhouette from every angle. When you're happy with the result, download the format your workflow needs. Every generation is also saved to your dashboard gallery for later.
How to Generate a 3D Model with Meshy v7

Set the Mesh and Quality
Pick standard, low-poly, or smart topology, set your target polygon count, and toggle PBR materials — or enable ultra mode for the highest-quality textured result.
Generate and Download
Click Generate, then orbit and zoom the result in the interactive viewer. Download it as GLB, FBX, OBJ, USDZ, or STL — every model is also saved to your dashboard gallery.

Why Choose Meshy v7
Start with Text, One Image, or Multiple Views
Start from a written description, a single reference picture, or up to four multi-angle photos of a real object — one flagship model, three input modes, the same controllable mesh output.
Smart Topology & Ultra Mode
New in v7: smart topology produces game-ready edge flow automatically, and ultra mode pushes texture and geometry quality to the maximum — with standard, low-poly, triangle/quad, and polygon-count control still at hand.
Rig, Animate, and Export
Auto-rig characters, apply preset animations, and preview the result before downloading it as GLB, FBX, OBJ, USDZ, or STL. The model is ready for game engines, AR runtimes, DCC tools, or 3D printing workflows.

What Can You Create with Meshy v7
Game Assets
Turn concept art, reference photos, or a written brief into props, characters, and environment pieces — smart topology delivers game-ready edge flow, and low-poly keeps real-time budgets in check.
Digitize Real Objects
Photograph a product, prop, or collectible from up to four angles and let multi-image-to-3D reconcile them into one faithful mesh — no scanner or multi-camera rig required.
AR & VR
Produce lightweight GLB and USDZ assets that drop straight into AR experiences and VR scenes, viewable in any glTF- or USDZ-compatible runtime.
High-Quality Hero Assets
For a storefront centerpiece, key character, or marketing render, enable Ultra mode to produce Meshy v7's highest-quality textured result.
Animated Characters
Generate a character, set its height, add a skeleton with auto-rigging, and apply a preset animation. The animated GLB is ready to preview and download.
3D Printing
Generate a mesh from text, an image, or a photo set and export STL or OBJ for slicing, prototyping, and physical models of objects, miniatures, and collectibles.

Frequently Asked Questions About Meshy v7
What inputs does Meshy v7 accept?
Meshy v7 supports three input modes. Text to 3D creates a model from a description of up to 600 characters. Image to 3D uses a single reference image. Multi-image to 3D combines one to four photos of the same object taken from different angles for a more accurate reconstruction. All three modes produce a configurable 3D model that you can preview and export.
What is smart topology?
Smart topology is a new v7 mesh style that lays out edge flow automatically the way a game artist would — cleaner deformation and more efficient geometry without manual retopology. It sits alongside the familiar standard and low-poly styles; pick whichever fits your pipeline, and fine-tune with the triangle/quad and polygon-count controls.
What does ultra mode do, and what does it cost?
Ultra mode is v7's highest quality tier: a fully textured generation with the best texture and geometry quality the model can produce. It costs slightly more credits than a standard textured generation — the exact total is always shown on the Generate button before you start. For quick drafts, you can also go the other way and generate an untextured base mesh for fewer credits.
How does multi-image-to-3D work — do the photos need to be special?
Upload 1–4 photos of the same object taken from different angles — for example front, left, back, and right. Ordinary photos work; keep the object clearly visible with consistent lighting for best results. v7 reconciles the views into a single consistent mesh, which captures proportions and hidden sides more faithfully than a single image can.
Can Meshy v7 rig and animate a character?
Yes. Enable auto-rigging to add a skeleton, and set the character's height so the proportions are correct. You can then choose a preset animation by its action ID. When rigging or animation is enabled, the preview and download use the rigged or animated GLB. Rigging and animation add a small charge to the base generation cost.
Which formats can I export?
Meshy v7 outputs GLB for the web, game engines, and AR, plus FBX and OBJ for DCC tools, USDZ for Apple AR, and STL for 3D printing. The model is also previewed interactively in your browser before you download.
How is Meshy v7 different from Meshy v6?
v7 is Meshy's flagship: it adds a multi-image mode (1–4 photos of the same object), the smart topology mesh style, and an ultra quality tier, on top of everything v6 offers — text and image input, PBR materials, rigging with animations, and multi-format export. If you want the best quality or need to digitize a real object from photos, use v7; v6 remains a solid, slightly cheaper choice for everyday assets.
