Meshy has introduced Meshy Edit, an AI-powered tool that enables users to alter specific parts of 3D models with plain language descriptions. The feature is now available to all registered users for their high-poly models.
Why it matters
Traditional 3D model modification requires significant time and specialized skills in software like Blender. By automating these adjustments, the tool simplifies complex digital design tasks for creators.
The tool generates a new model in approximately one minute and charges 20 credits per edit. It supports high-poly models originally generated with the Meshy 6 and Meshy 7.1 platforms.
The players
Meshy
Meshy is a technology company based in Silicon Valley that specializes in generative AI for 3D modeling.
The details
Users select specific areas of their model using Lasso or Brush tools before entering a text prompt to initiate changes. During the process, textured models are automatically switched to untextured versions to facilitate the AI editing.
Timeline
July 2026: Meshy raised $400 million in a Series B funding round.
September 2026: The company surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue.
October 5, 2026: The a16z Top 100 Gen AI report was released.
October 16, 2026: Meshy officially launched the Meshy Edit tool.
The Tech Race
This release follows Meshy's strong market performance, currently placing 31st on the a16z Top 50 consumer AI apps list. The update highlights the shift toward replacing manual 3D design software like Blender with automated, text-to-model AI solutions.
Registered users can now access the editing tool immediately, though each modification will deduct 20 credits from their accounts. This change effectively lowers the technical barrier for users looking to customize 3D assets quickly.
The takeaway
The move to integrate AI-driven editing reflects the broader industry trend of automating time-intensive creative workflows. Users should consider the credit costs before performing multiple iterations on high-poly models.
