What is Meshcraft?
Meshcraft is an AI-powered 3D model generator that turns any photo into a production-ready 3D model in seconds. Users upload a photo of any object—a toy, shoe, building, or food—and the AI generates a downloadable 3D model with PBR materials in under a minute. No 3D modeling skills are required to use the tool.
The platform uses Microsoft Trellis 2 as its Standard engine (via HuggingFace ZeroGPU) and Hunyuan v3.1 Pro as its Premium engine (via fal.ai). The Standard engine is free, while the Premium engine costs 50 credits and produces models with approximately 1.4M faces and proper PBR materials including base color, metallic, and roughness maps. Generated models have clean topology with around 50K clean quads, making them game-engine ready rather than chaotic triangles.
Meshcraft is designed for game developers, 3D artists, Roblox creators, Unity and Unreal Engine users, Blender users, and anyone interested in 3D printing. The tool exports GLB files with PBR textures that can be imported directly into game engines or 3D software. One-click presets are available for Roblox, Unity, Unreal, and 3D printing exports. A REST API is available for the Pro tier to integrate 3D generation into game pipelines, and batch processing allows uploading multiple images to get multiple 3D models.
The platform also features text-to-3D capability coming soon, where users type a description, AI generates the image, then converts it to a 3D model. Four image models are available for text-to-3D: FLUX 1 Schnell, FLUX 2 Dev, GPT Image 1 Mini, and GPT Image 1.5. The unified credit system has variable costs from 1-59 credits depending on the engine and image model combination.
Meshcraft pricing
Pricing model: Freemium
Free tier: 5 credits/month, no credit card required. Standard engine (Trellis 2) is free to use. Premium engine (Hunyuan v3.1 Pro) costs 50 credits per generation and produces ~1.4M face models with proper PBR materials.

Frequently asked questions about Meshcraft
What is Meshcraft?
Meshcraft is a web-based AI tool that generates 3D models (GLB) from text prompts or images. Upload any photo of an object and get a production-ready 3D model with PBR materials in seconds. No 3D skills needed.
How much does Meshcraft cost?
Free tier offers 5 credits/month with no credit card required. Beta access is $9.97/month for unlimited generations. Premium engine costs 50 credits per generation. Credit costs range from 1-59 credits depending on engine and image model choice.
What AI engines does Meshcraft use?
Meshcraft has two 3D engines: Standard (Trellis 2 via HuggingFace ZeroGPU) which is free, and Premium (Hunyuan v3.1 Pro via fal.ai) which costs 50 credits and produces higher quality ~1.4M face models with proper PBR materials.
What file formats can I export?
Meshcraft exports GLB files with PBR textures. The GLB format is widely supported and includes all necessary textures, making it easy to import directly into game engines like Roblox, Unity, Unreal, or 3D software like Blender.
What is PBR materials and why does it matter?
PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials include base color, metallic, and roughness maps, not just vertex colors. This produces more realistic 3D models that look correct in game engines with proper lighting and material response.
Can I use Meshcraft for Roblox creation?
Yes, Meshcraft has one-click presets specifically for Roblox exports. The generated models have clean topology with ~50K clean quads that are game-engine ready, perfect for Roblox accessories, props, and assets.
What is the difference between Standard and Premium engine?
Standard engine (Trellis 2) is free but struggles with complex geometry like missing fingers and has back-side artifacts. Premium engine (Hunyuan v3.1 Pro) costs 50 credits but solves most quality issues and produces ~1.4M face models with proper PBR materials.
Does Meshcraft support text-to-3D?
Text-to-3D is coming soon. When available, you can type a description, AI will generate the image using one of four image models (FLUX 1 Schnell, FLUX 2 Dev, GPT Image 1 Mini, or GPT Image 1.5), then convert it to a 3D model.
What is batch processing?
Batch processing allows you to upload multiple images and get multiple 3D models at once. This feature is available on the Pro tier and is useful for creators who need to generate many assets efficiently.
Is there an API for Meshcraft?
Yes, Meshcraft offers a REST API for Pro tier users to integrate 3D generation into their game pipeline. This allows developers to automate 3D model generation within their existing workflows and applications.
