Meshy is your 3D generative AI toolbox for effortlessly creating 3D assets from text or images, accelerating your 3D workflow. With Meshy, you can create high-quality textures and 3D models in minutes.
Hello Product Hunt community!
I'm Ethan, co-founder and CEO of Meshy. I got my Ph.D. from MIT in computer graphics and AI, and I've spent a decade in CG research and industry, building strong connections in the game, film, and XR industries. A common challenge I've heard from my network is the difficulty in creating high-quality 3D models, which led to the founding of Meshy. I feel it's my destiny to tackle this challenge, and our entire team at Meshy shares this commitment.
Today, we’re thrilled to introduce Meshy-1 designed with a singular vision: to turn everyone’s 3D dreams into reality. Our 3D generative AI empowers content creators, enabling them to craft stunning 3D models from text and images in a mere minute.
Meshy-1 boasts three user-friendly modes:
1. Text to 3D: Text prompt in, 3D model out.
2. Image to 3D: Front-view image in, 3D model out.
3. Text to Texture: Upload your model and text, and Meshy generates high-quality textures.
Below is a quick tutorial of one of the latest features, Meshy-1 Text to 3D, on Discord just like Midjourney. Using this feature, you can create whatever 3D model you can describe, be it a pineapple Mario, Einstein on a skateboard, etc. The only limit is your imagination!
Here’s how Meshy-1 stands out from its predecessor:
🚀 Blazing Fast: Meshy-1 delivers in just 60 seconds! Gone are the days of waiting hours.

@yuanming_hu congrats on Meshy-1 launch, Ethan! Amazing to see 3D modeling made easy and fast - models in 60 seconds is a game-changer! Great for pros and hobbyists alike. Can't wait to see how Meshy-1 changes the 3D world. Best of luck! 🌟
@yuanming_hu@jasonh19 Hi Jason! To celebrate our new pricing model and our launch on ProductHunt, the discount will be valid for the next month! The discount code is applicable for all subscription-based products :)
I've played with some of these text-to-3D tools. It's super impressive. But many still require a ton of tweaking to get to production-level quality. What's the typical workflow or use case for Meshy, @yuanming_hu?
@rrhoover Good point, CG production puts a high bar on mesh & texture quality. Currently, people have been using Meshy Text to 3D for a few interesting cases, such as generation props for environment art (they are not heroes in the scene, but you need a lot of them!) Indie game developers are ideal users for Text to 3D. You can also use Text to 3D to create a quick conceptualization for level art design.
Apart from CG production, you can also use these models for 3D printing - a use case without the limit of UVs, topology, and polycount!
@rrhoover game assets should account for the bulk of the use case. 50% of gaming is mobile based, current genAI 3D cannot serve this segment due to mesh density problems, 30% of gaming is console (AAA), also challenging due to insufficient mesh quality / downstream customization, the remaining 20% PC (browser/boxed) could be interest, I can show you some interesting ways to play with this.
Looks promising! It would be cool to have more detailed tips on how to write promt, because no matter how many times I tried to create something usable, I couldn't
@eugene_lipski Good point... We are planning to release a prompt & result sharing feature, together with a marketplace for users to trade their models! I hope that would further lower the barrier for people to make use our product.
One attempt we've made: Meshy supports 20+ languages so for non-native English speakers (including me!), hopefully using their native language makes life easier!
Awesome looking platform! Once the 3D object is rendered, can you pull it into blender or whatever app you're using and touch it up?
I think this will save 3D designers TONS of time!
Congrats on the launch!
@yuanming_hu Congrats on the launch! Meshy will be super useful for game creators to create basic objects super fast and shorten the development lifecycle. Impressive product.
@yuanming_hu Recommend adding Japanese translation, Japanese people tend to select mediocre product with Japanese translation rather than best product only in English UI👍
I’ve used Meshy, and it’s incredibly powerful. This is a must tool in the toolbox for anyone working with 3D.
The fact that we’ve come this far in such a short amount of time is crazy.
Super excited to see the team launch here, and wishing them all the best on launch day.
Now go check out Meshy-1
@linusekenstam
Thank you Linus! We aim to make the best generative AI tool in 3D. And we are keep evolving! The new version of text to 3D will make you surprize :)
@linusekenstam Thank you very much, Linus, for being an early user of Meshy, and for your support! Indeed, It's not an easy journey, but we are happy with where we are today. 3D generative AI is moving so fast, and even we ourselves couldn't imagine one day we could deliver something like Meshy-1 half a year ago.
In the future, we will continue to deliver as much as we can, and we really wish we can lead the adventure in using AI for 3D creation!
Congrats on the launch peeps!! 🙌🎉
Love the idea!💜💫 I have always geeked out on AI design products and this is literally taking to another level! 😄😅
All the best to the entire team! 😇🚀
PS. the landing page looks kinda cool but I have some thoughts.. 😄
Congratulations for the launch Ethan, super excited to see your team kicking off the generative AI on 3D. Any plan introducing enhanced 3D models for characters with auto rigging? That would be super useful for storytelling sites like us at Artflow.ai.
@tim_zhang_artflow Thank you Tim! Auto rigging could be a potential next step! For now, you can upload your model to Mixamo and rig & animate on your own :-)
Congrats on the launch, @yuanming_hu! 🚀
Meshy-1 looks like a really cool AI-driven platform for 3D model generation.
Given the teams expertise in computer graphics and AI, I'm curious about the future of AI in this field.
How do you see AI evolving in the context of 3D modelling, and what steps is Meshy taking to stay ahead of the curve and minimize any risks associated with AI-generated content?
@dzaitzow Thank you, Daniel! My answers:
> How do you see AI evolving in the context of 3D modelling.
It's moving really fast. I've been working in the CG research & engineering field for a decade, and have never seen such as strong & focused attention from the entire academia on a single problem: generating 3D models from text or images.
At this point, I think we have only solved 10% of the 3D GenAI issues (assuming 100% means Midjourney quality in 3D). But I expect the remaining 90% will be solved in an accelerated manner. My estimation is in 2 years, there will be a "3D Midjourney" out there.
@dzaitzow
> what steps is Meshy taking to stay ahead of the curve
Great question. Probably no magic, just work hard and stay close to the user's needs :-) We have a solid background, but our competitors are smart too.
@dzaitzow
> minimize any risks associated with AI-generated content
We are still figuring that out. For copyright issues, we are following Midjourney way to deal with them. One good thing, though, is that generated 3D content is less prone to "deepfake", since converting 3D models to something photorealistic still needs expertise (actually very hard), which is different from 2D, where you can easily generate fake news photos that are hard to distinguish from real ones...
@yuanming_hu Very cool! and how do you see Meshy fitting into that '2 years from now' world? I guess a better question is what are you hopes for the platform as 3D GenAI continues to reach that '3D Midjourney ... or beyond' landscape?
@yuanming_hu oh it looks like you answered some of this here! I think in such a fast, ever-changing landscape that is the best approach! You can't tell what is going to be around the corner to keeping informed and listening to your users sounds spot on!
Absolutely fascinating! Meshy-1's ability to transform text to 3D models in just 60 seconds is a game-changer for creators across the board. It's thrilling to see how Meshy-1 stands to democratize 3D content creation, making it accessible even to those who may not be experts in traditional 3D software. Congrats on this innovative leap forward! 🌟
Congratulations on the launch of Meshy! It's exciting to see how it's equipping creators with the tools to transform thoughts and images into 3D models with such ease. Wishing you great success on revolutionizing 3D workflows! 🚀🌟
Huge shoutout to Meshy! Transforming 3D creation with its generative AI toolbox. Here's to effortlessly crafting high-quality assets and speeding up the 3D workflow. 🚀🎨
