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.

Sloyd is an AI-powered 3D asset creation platform designed to make 3D modeling fast and accessible. It allows game developers, designers, and creators to generate game-ready 3D models from text prompts, images, or customizable parametric templates directly inside a web browser, exporting to formats such as GLB, OBJ, and FBX.
