Overview
Meshy is a leading product in the text-to-3D / image-to-3D space, converting text or reference images into ready-to-use 3D models (with textures, PBR materials, and exportable formats such as FBX/GLB/USDZ/OBJ) within minutes. **At GDC 2026/3, founder Hu Yuanming announced that ARR had doubled to $30 million, and further grew to approximately $40 million by April**, with over 10 million registered users worldwide and over 100 million 3D models generated cumulatively in three years, making it one of the most commercially mature tools in the AI 3D field.
The product roadmap covers text-to-3D, image-to-3D, text-to-texture, and AI animation retargeting. The newly launched **Meshy Creative Workshop** further expands into the 3D printing ecosystem, targeting real-world needs such as game development, 3D printing, XR content, and e-commerce display. It is deeply integrated with the Unity / Unreal ecosystem.
