How to Use Meshy 6 Image to 3D

Upload a reference image: Front-facing photos with clean backgrounds work best.
Choose whether to texture: should_texture: true retains image colours; false returns a clean white mesh.
Pick topology and polygon count: triangle or quad; polycount from 100 to 300,000.
Optional tuning: Use pose_mode (a-pose / t-pose) for humanoid characters, enable_pbr for PBR maps, or texture_prompt to guide the texturing pass.
Submit: Poll until the prediction returns a .glb URL.

❓

Common Questions

Frequently asked

When should I use pose_mode?

Use `a-pose` or `t-pose` when generating humanoid characters that you plan to rig. The model is forced into a standard pose.

What does texture_prompt do?

It's a free-text hint that guides the texturing pass - useful for overriding or refining the colours inferred from your input image.

Can the output be rigged?

Yes - for humanoid models, exporting in A-pose or T-pose makes downstream rigging much easier.
