Make a 3D model of yourself with Meshy

Meshy builds the model from what it sees, so even light and the same distance matter more than any setting.

1. 1Stand in front of a plain wall, near a window or in soft, even light.
2. 2Stand in a relaxed pose with your arms a little away from your body.
3. 3Take a front photo, then turn to show your left side, your back and your right side. You turn, the camera stays put.
4. 4Keep your whole body in the frame, with a small gap around the edges.

You should see 4 sharp photos of you from 4 sides, at the same size and in the same light.

Meshy suggests at least 512 × 512 pixels, and 1024 × 1024 or more for the best detail.

Multi-view only works with Meshy's newest High Detail model, so pick it first.

1. 1Go to meshy.ai/workspace and sign in.
2. 2In the left sidebar, click Model, then the Image to 3D tab.
3. 3Select High Detail, then pick Meshy 7.1 - Flagship in the model list.

You should see an upload area under Image, with the generation options below it.

Real photos of your back and sides mean Meshy guesses less, so the whole model looks like you.

1. 1Under Image, upload your front photo as the main image.
2. 2Turn on Multi-view.
3. 3Put each side photo in its slot: Left, Back and Right.
4. 4Missing a side? Click Generate next to the slots, and Meshy draws that view from your front photo.

You should see your front photo as the main image, and 3 more views of you in the slots.

A few settings decide whether you get a colored model you can animate later.

1. 1Turn on Texture, so the model gets the colors of your skin, hair and clothes.
2. 2Planning to animate it? Set Pose to A-Pose or T-Pose.
3. 3Check the credit cost the panel shows, then click Generate.

You should see a textured 3D model of you in the viewer after about a minute.

On Pro, a Meshy 7.1 model costs 25 credits at the default Ultra 2K resolution, plus 10 for Texture. Failed generations cost nothing.

Each use needs a different file type, so pick the format for where the model goes next.

1. 1In the viewer, rotate the model and check it from every side.
2. 2In the viewer toolbar, click Download.
3. 3In Format, pick GLB for the web, FBX for Unity or Unreal, USDZ for Apple AR or STL for a 3D print. Then click Download.

You should see a model file in your downloads folder, ready to open in your app.

Meshy can add a skeleton and ready-made motions, so your model can walk or wave in a game.

1. 1In the left sidebar, click Animate and select your model.
2. 2Click Rig and complete the Rig Model dialog.
3. 3In the Library tab, search for a motion, such as a wave, and click Add on its card.
4. 4Click Download and pick FBX, GLB or USDZ.

You should see your model moving in the viewer with the motion you picked.

Rigging and preset motions cost no credits. A few motions come with every plan, and the rest need a paid plan.
