Alignment is the gap between the input image and the generated 3D model. Meshy 7 narrows it.

Your favorite toy series doesn't exist until you create it. ✨

💬 Make a figure collection starts with one conversation. Describe a world, and the characters start showing up.

🎨 Every character arrives in the same style, like they walked out of one storybook.

🖨️ Print the full set, and the series you waited years for is finally in your hands.

Bring your dream series to life with Meshy Agent today!

Now your textures generate from multiple views too, so a few references of the same object bring the whole model back with much higher accuracy and consistency, from structure to texture.

What's new:
✨ Native 2K/4K/8K across all views, with consistent quality on every surface, front to back.
🎨 Stronger style fidelity that keeps your stylized, anime, and hand-drawn art looking the way you drew it.
🔤 Accurate text and patterns, rendered with more detail and a more natural look.
🔄 Higher multi-view consistency, so geometry and texture line up across the whole model.

You'll see the biggest difference on stylized, anime, and hand-drawn work.

Add your references and try it in your next project!

Chasing that clean 3D-meets-2D anime look, only to have the texture details get lost under the shading? In this tutorial, we'll demonstrate how to texture a model in Meshy with a native 8K base color that preserves details and realistic material definition, then use Blender's shader nodes to turn smooth lighting into clean, adjustable cel shading.

1️⃣ Generate Your 3D Character

Create a character concept in Meshy's Image workspace, and click Image to 3D to turn it into a 3D model. Check that the overall shape looks right before moving on.

https://i.redd.it/2n92gpbs6jhh1.gif

2️⃣ Apply 8K Texture

Go to Model workspace and select 8K resolution. Higher resolution preserves fine details and makes the materials look more realistic. Once ready, download the model in right format and send it to Blender.

https://i.redd.it/lpo12gju6jhh1.gif

3️⃣ Build the Toon Shader

In Blender's Shader Editor, delete the default Principled BSDF. Connect a Diffuse BSDF to Shader to RGB, then feed it into a ColorRamp to create controllable light and shadow.

The Diffuse BSDF calculates how the scene lighting falls across the model, while Shader to RGB converts that lighting into editable color data.

The ColorRamp simplifies the smooth lighting gradient into more defined light and shadow regions, allowing you to control where the shadows begin, how sharp the transition looks, and what color the shadows use.

https://i.redd.it/vuey12jz6jhh1.gif

4️⃣ Blend in the 8K Texture

Add a Mix node to combine the ColorRamp with the original 8K texture. Set it to Multiply with the Factor at 1.0, then connect the result through an Emission node to Material Output.

The Mix Step overlays the cel-shaded lighting onto the original texture: the darker parts of the ColorRamp create the shadows, while the lighter parts keep the model's original colors and texture details visible.

The Emission node then displays the combined result directly, without adding another layer of lighting that could change the final look.

https://i.redd.it/ben0vx627jhh1.gif

5️⃣ Fine-Tune the Shading

Move the ColorRamp handles to define the light and shadow boundaries, then adjust the shadow color to match your style.

Meshy's 8K texture preserves fine surface details and keep materials looking realistic, even after you apply custom shading in Blender 🤓

Have any questions about using Meshy, Blender, or this shader setup? Feel free to leave them in the comments!

8K Texture is not just sharper. It is material you can almost feel.

Worn metal, plush, plastic, all rendered true.

AI texturing that feels crafted, not generated. Only in Meshy.

Whatever you can picture, Meshy can turn into a printable model.

Everything here went from concept to 3D print, and yours can too.

Now it's your turn: what's the weirdest, cutest or coolest thing you've ever made in 3D with Meshy? Share it in the comments — we'd love to see what you've created! The more unexpected, the better. ✨

Building a complete 3D scene can be a lot of work. There are props to create, textures to finish, and dozens of small details to refine. To show how the workflow comes together, we created a cinematic detective's office, with every prop made in Meshy and the final scene assembled in Unreal Engine. Zoom in on every clue — the details still hold up.

You can also watch the full workflow video. Please visit https://youtu.be/rRNJUfLHp7A?si=o61CKyg4ok6JqzQ7

1️⃣ Create 3D assets in Meshy

Start by using a written scene idea or reference image to generate a clear concept image for each prop. Choose your favorite result, send it to Image to 3D with one click, and check the basic shape before moving on.

https://i.redd.it/vy4l1hvk9egh1.gif

2️⃣ Texture Clay Models with 8K Texture

Remove Lighting helps to reduce highlights and shadows carried over from the reference image. Enable Generate PBR Maps so the asset includes the material information needed for more detailed surface control. Try our 8K Texture for shaper details and realistic surfaces.

https://i.redd.it/sek66fg5begh1.gif

3️⃣ Preview and Export Assets to Unreal Engine

Preview each finished asset from all angles to make sure the geometry and textures look right. Then export it as an FBX file and bring it into Unreal Engine.

https://i.redd.it/iufheeg5begh1.gif

4️⃣ Assemble the Scene in Unreal Engine

Import the finished assets into Unreal Engine and assemble them into the final scene.

https://i.redd.it/q9s9hof5begh1.gif

That's the full Meshy-to-Unreal Engine workflow. Try it with your own scene idea and share what you build!

1️⃣ Generate your model in Meshy

2️⃣ Use Auto Split to separate it into printable parts with one click

3️⃣ Import the parts into your slicer and group them by color

4️⃣ Print one color per plate, then assemble the finished model

No color switching. No prime tower. No failed marathon prints.

Hey r/virtualreality this is the Meshy Community account, so upfront: we make an AI 3D model tool, and the props in this world were made with it. Putting that first so nobody feels blindsided.

Sharing it because we thought the result was genuinely cool: one of our community members, Axinovium, built a full VRChat world called Divine Sanctuary, a big golden temple space, shrine-like and atmospheric, and showed it off at our last community meetup. Most of the 3D assets in it were AI-generated, which is part of what makes it interesting: it's a look at what a solo creator can put together for a social VR space now.

If you're in VRChat, you can search Divine Sanctuary in-game to walk around it yourself. If not, we filmed a short tour so you can see it either way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh4DsNjqg6Y

Curious what people here think, both about the world and about AI-gen assets showing up in social VR spaces.

This video shows how to turn a hand-drawn concept sketch into a complete 3D scene using Meshy and Blender. Meshy is used to develop the visual concept and generate the main objects as separate, textured 3D assets, while Blender handles scene assembly, lighting, and final adjustments. It is a practical way to move from an early idea to a workable 3D prototype in hours instead of modeling every asset from scratch.🚀

Full video walkthrough: https://youtu.be/OGgz90Vzg2I

1️⃣ Create a 3D concept render 🎨

Upload the scene sketch as reference image in Meshy Image Workspace, then add a prompt describing the intended look. Generate a more polished 3D-style concept image before creating any models. This step can provide clearer source image for extracting individual objects.

https://i.redd.it/fjszpyqtyqeh1.gif

2️⃣ Prepare clean references for each asset 🧹

Choose the individual objects you want to turn into 3D assets and crop them from the concept render. Regenerate each one as a clean, isolated reference image. Try to reduce background clutter or overlap with nearby objects.

https://i.redd.it/62bd0wxxyqeh1.gif

3️⃣ Generate individual models using Image-to-3D 🎩

Turn each reference to a 3D asset with Image-to-3D. You can texture the generated model directly in the workspace. Meshy now also supports 8K texture.

https://i.redd.it/7ctkwyyzyqeh1.gif

4️⃣ Export the models and assemble the scene in Blender 🗺️

Export the models from Meshy and bring them into Blender with both geometry and textures included, so as to keep cleanup to minimum. Lay out the assets with the original sketch. Once the composition is in place, set up the camera and lighting. From there, you have a fully editable 3D scene ready for rendering.

https://i.redd.it/wt4ytr35zqeh1.gif

The key to this workflow is to avoid generating the entire scene as one merged model. The same process can be applied to stylized environments, dioramas, game-scene prototypes, and other prop-based scenes.

Try this workflow and show us your creation!🤓

The update raises the bar for AI texturing:

😎 Real 8K base color. Every pore, scratch, and fiber stays sharp, no matter how far you zoom in.

✨ Cleaner de-lighting. No baked-in shadows. Your textures hold up under any lighting.

🎯 Built for realism. Photorealistic detail makes 3D assets look alive.

Whatever resolution you need, we deliver. Not just sharper, but a higher standard for texture.

Meshy 3D Agent can now rig and animate 3D models directly in chat. In this walkthrough, we rig a generated model, add animations, and bring them to Unreal Engine to build a scene. We hope this workflow gives you new ideas and makes your next 3D project easier to build.🤓

For a video demonstration of the full workflow, please visit https://youtu.be/bJXrtCebJ-4?si=PZTwV6-t6Pn2VxFd

1️⃣ Create Character Model

Describe your ideas and Agent will generate a concept image. Chat to refine the character until you are satisfied. Ask the Agent to turn it into a 3D model directly in the conversation.

https://i.redd.it/5xfksokddjdh1.gif

2️⃣ Prepare and Rig the Model

• Before rigging, ask the Agent to remesh the model first if the mesh is too dense.

https://i.redd.it/qcqo429hdjdh1.gif

• Review the joint markers and adjust the ones that do not line up with the real structure of the model. Confirm the layout and let the Agent create the skeleton and bind it to the model.

https://i.redd.it/92lbah9kdjdh1.gif

3️⃣ Choose and Preview Animations

• Tell the Agent what kind of movement the character needs, or let it recommend animations based on the character.

https://i.redd.it/9431tvjodjdh1.gif

• Preview each motion directly on the rigged model. You can compare different options.

https://i.redd.it/mxmv0avqdjdh1.gif

4️⃣ Download Character and Animations together

The rigged character and selected animation can be downloaded together in one batch. Choose the format needed for your next tool.

https://i.redd.it/5birvwdtdjdh1.gif

5️⃣ Generate the Supporting Scene Assets

Continue the conversation to generate supporting scene assets as a batch.

https://i.redd.it/75vnau2vdjdh1.gif

6️⃣ Continue the Project in Unreal Engine

Import the environment assets, rigged character, and animation clips into Unreal Engine and create the scene you desired.

https://i.redd.it/iuenr1bxdjdh1.gif

The character, the motions, the rocks, all start from the same conversation.
