+ 1 Meshy is one of the leading AI 3D model generators (text-to-3D, image-to-3D, AI texturing, auto-rigging, animation). Its Free plan gives every account 100 credits per month, resetting at 00:00 UTC on the 1st of each month. With each full Text-to-3D or Image-to-3D generation costing 20 credits in the current Meshy 6 engine, that translates to ~5 fully textured 3D models per month (or up to 10 model-only meshes).

+ 3 Important catch for builders: the Free plan is web UI only — there is no API access. The Meshy API requires a Pro plan or higher. Free models are released under CC BY 4.0 (you can sell them, but must credit Meshy), and you are subject to a low-priority queue with 1 concurrent task at a time.

+ 66 Meshy 6 is the current default engine for both Text-to-3D and Image-to-3D, producing higher-quality meshes and PBR textures than the legacy Meshy 5 line. Meshy 5 is still selectable for users who prefer 4 draft variants per run (10 credits per stage).
