SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Creating 3D assets traditionally requires specialized modeling skills and expensive software. This Skill lets you generate production-ready 3D models, textures, and animations directly from text prompts or images using the Meshy AI API, handling the entire workflow from API key setup to file download. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Text/Image to 3D Generation: Create 3D models from text descriptions, single images, or multi-view images, with preview and refine (PBR texturing) stages. - Full Asset Pipeline: Retexture, remesh, convert formats (GLB/FBX/OBJ/USDZ/STL/3MF), resize, UV unwrap, auto-rig characters, and apply animations. - Managed Workflow: Automatic API key detection, credit cost confirmation before spending, async task polling with progress bars, and organized output in timestamped project folders with history tracking. - Use Case: Ask for "a low-poly treasure chest" and receive a textured GLB model downloaded to your workspace, with task IDs saved for follow-up operations like rigging or format conversion. ## Quick Start Use the meshy-3d-generation skill to create a textured 3D model of a medieval sword from a text prompt and download it as a GLB file.

Frequently Asked Questions about meshy-3d-generation

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a 3D model from a text prompt with the Meshy API?▼

Create a preview task via POST /openapi/v2/text-to-3d with your prompt, poll the returned task ID until it succeeds, then optionally run a refine task to add PBR textures. The Skill provides a reusable Python template handling create, poll, and download in one script.

How to convert an image to a 3D model using AI?▼

Send the image URL or base64 data URI to POST /openapi/v1/image-to-3d with should_texture and enable_pbr set to true. For higher quality, first generate or clean up a design image with the text-to-image or image-to-image endpoints before 3D conversion.

What output formats does Meshy 3D generation support?▼

Generation endpoints output GLB, FBX, OBJ, USDZ, and STL by default. 3MF must be explicitly requested via target_formats or obtained through the Convert API for 1 credit. Not all formats appear in every response, so check model_urls keys before downloading.

Why is my Meshy task stuck at 99 percent progress?▼

Tasks commonly sit at 99% for 30 to 120 seconds during finalization, which is normal behavior and not a failure. Do not kill or restart the polling script; wait for the status to change to SUCCEEDED or FAILED.

Can I rig and animate a generated 3D character?▼

Yes, humanoid bipedal characters under 300,000 faces can be rigged via POST /openapi/v1/rigging for 5 credits, which includes free walking and running animations. Generate the model with pose_mode set to t-pose for best rigging results.

What are the limitations of the Meshy API free tier?▼

Free-tier accounts cannot create API keys; API access requires a Pro plan or above. Generated assets are deleted after 3 days for non-Enterprise customers, so download files immediately after task completion.
