Description

Meshy is an AI-powered 3D model generator built for 3D artists, game developers, and 3D printing hobbyists. It allows users to turn text prompts or images into textured, rigged, and export-ready 3D models in minutes without requiring prior 3D modeling experience.

Kaedim is an AI-powered 3D asset creation platform that turns sketches, reference packs, product photos, and briefs into production-ready 3D models. Merging advanced proprietary AI with expert artist review, Kaedim scales 3D pipelines without hiring, helps accelerate game art production, and significantly reduces 3D asset production costs.
