Meshy

Text and image to 3D meshes. The practical first stop for a game prop you will retopologize later.

Best for

Prototype 3D props and characters you will clean up in a DCC tool.

What it is

Meshy generates 3D meshes from text or images, with texture, and exports formats game engines can import. The mesh is a starting asset, not a finished hero model. It leads this list because the path from prompt to a file in Blender or Unity is short.
