What is Meshy?

Meshy generates 3D models from text prompts or reference images, adds PBR textures, and can auto-rig humanoid characters for animation. It exports to standard formats for Unity, Unreal, Blender, and 3D printing, making it a favourite for indie game developers and 3D-printing hobbyists.
