Meshy V7 Image To 3d API Documentation

Meshy V7 Image To 3d API Documentation

Playground

Meshy V7 Image-to-3D turns a single reference image into a textured, PBR-ready 3D model with configurable topology, rigging, and animation for game assets, product visualization, 3D design, and production workflows. Ready-to-use REST inference API, best performance, no coldstarts, affordable pricing.

Features

Meshy V7 Image to 3D converts a single reference image into a textured 3D mesh. It generates a GLB model and provides additional export formats such as FBX, OBJ, and USDZ when available.

Why Choose This?

• Single-image 3D generation Create a 3D model from one clear reference image.

• Standard and low-poly modes Use standard for detailed geometry or lowpoly for optimized low-polygon output.

• Texture control Generate textured models, enable PBR materials, or guide texture style with a prompt or texture reference image.

• Geometry controls Adjust topology, target polygon count, and remeshing behavior for different production needs.

• Optional rigging and animation Enable humanoid rigging and animation presets when supported by the input object.

• Multiple export formats Receive GLB output with available FBX, OBJ, and USDZ exports.

Parameters

How to Use

1. Upload a reference image — Use a centered, well-lit image with one clear object or character.
2. Choose model type — Select standard for detailed geometry or lowpoly for optimized output.
3. Configure geometry optional — Adjust topology, target polygon count, or remeshing when needed.
4. Enable textures optional — Use should_texture, enable_pbr, texture_prompt, or texture_image to control material output.
5. Enable rigging optional — Use enable_rigging for humanoid characters that need a skeleton.
6. Enable animation optional — Use enable_animation when an animation preset is needed. Rigging must also be enabled.
7. Submit — Generate the 3D model and download the available exports.

Pricing

Pricing depends on texture generation, Ultra Mode, rigging, and animation settings.

Example Costs

Best Use Cases

• Product 3D assets — Convert product images into 3D models for visualization or interactive previews.
• Character models — Generate textured character meshes from reference images.
• Game and real-time assets — Use low-poly mode for optimized 3D content.
• E-commerce previews — Create 3D models for product display and marketing workflows.
• Prototype modeling — Quickly turn visual concepts into editable 3D assets.
• Rigged character workflows — Add rigging and animation for humanoid character use cases.

Pro Tips

• Use a centered image with one clear object or character.
• Avoid cluttered backgrounds, heavy shadows, reflections, or multiple overlapping objects.
• Use standard mode when geometry quality matters.
• Use lowpoly mode when performance or file size matters.
• Enable textures when the final asset needs color, material, or surface detail.
• Use texture_prompt to describe material details such as metal, leather, ceramic, fabric, or plastic.
• Enable rigging only for suitable humanoid characters.
• Use Meshy V7 Multi-Image to 3D when multi-view reconstruction is needed.
