How to Use Meshy V7 Image to 3D

  1. Provide a Reference Image: Upload a clear 2D image or supply a publicly accessible image_url.

  2. Configure Mesh Topology: Select between standard or lowpoly mesh geometry, choose quad or triangle topology, and set your target polycount (from 100 to 300,000).

  3. Enable PBR & Rigging: Toggle enable_pbr for realistic materials and enable_rigging to automatically rig humanoid characters.

  4. Submit Request: Send a POST request to /api/v1/meshy-v7-image-to-3d:

Common Questions

Frequently asked

What file formats does Meshy V7 Image to 3D output?

Meshy V7 outputs textured GLB files alongside FBX, OBJ, and USDZ format 3D models.

Can Meshy V7 automatically rig humanoid characters?

Yes, enabling rigging will automatically generate a humanoid bone skeleton with walking and running animation presets.

What topology options are supported?

You can select between quad or triangle mesh topology and specify target polycounts from 100 up to 300,000 polygons.

What is PBR map generation?

PBR (Physically Based Rendering) mode generates normal, roughness, and metallic maps in addition to the base color texture.

What is the cost per generation?

Meshy V7 Image to 3D pricing starts at $1.144 credits per generation ($1.716 for standard textured mesh) with optional add-ons for Ultra Mode, rigging, and animation presets.
