Input Schema

15 parameters · 1 required · 14 optional

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`image`	string	Required	Image URL or base64 data URI for 3D model creation. Supports .jpg, .jpeg, and .png formats. Also supports AVIF and HEIF formats which will be automatically converted.
`topology`	string	Optional	Specify the topology of the generated model. Quad for smooth surfaces, Triangle for detailed geometry. · Options: quad, triangle · Default: "triangle" quadtriangle
`pose_mode`	string	Optional	Pose mode for the generated model. 'a-pose' generates an A-pose, 't-pose' generates a T-pose, empty string for no specific pose. · Options: a-pose, t-pose, · Default: "" a-poset-pose
`enable_pbr`	boolean	Optional	Generate PBR Maps (metallic, roughness, normal) in addition to base color · Default: false
`is_a_t_pose`	boolean	Optional	Deprecated: use pose_mode instead. When true, generates a T-pose model. · Default: false
`should_remesh`	boolean	Optional	Whether to enable the remesh phase · Default: true
`symmetry_mode`	string	Optional	Controls symmetry behavior during model generation. Off disables symmetry, Auto determines it automatically, On enforces symmetry. · Options: off, auto, on · Default: "auto" offautoon
`enable_rigging`	boolean	Optional	Automatically rig the generated model as a humanoid character. Includes basic walking and running animations. Best results with humanoid characters that have clearly defined limbs. · Default: false
`should_texture`	boolean	Optional	Whether to generate textures · Default: true
`texture_prompt`	string	Optional	Text prompt to guide the texturing process · Max length: 600
`enable_animation`	boolean	Optional	Apply an animation preset to the rigged model. Requires enable_rigging to be true. · Default: false
`target_polycount`	integer	Optional	Target number of polygons in the generated model · Min: 100 · Max: 300000 · Default: 30000
`texture_image_url`	string	Optional	2D image to guide the texturing process
`animation_action_id`	integer	Optional	Animation preset ID from Meshy's library (500+ presets). Only used when enable_animation is true. See https://docs.meshy.ai/en/api/animation-library for available action IDs. · Default: 1001
`rigging_height_meters`	number	Optional	Approximate height of the character in meters. Only used when enable_rigging is true. · Default: 1.7

Output Schema

Field	Type	Description
`id`	string	Unique identifier for the generation task
`status`	string	Task status: pending, running, completed, failed, timeout
`model`	string	Model used for the generation
`outputs`	array	Array of output items
`outputs[].url`	string	URL of the generated artifact
`outputs[].content_type`	string	MIME type (e.g. image/png, video/mp4)
`error`	object \| null	Error details if failed, null on success
`error.type`	string	Machine-readable error type code
`error.message`	string	Human-readable error description

Async Workflow

This model uses asynchronous execution. Submit a request and poll for the result.

Submit — POST to /v1/run, receive an id
Poll — GET /v1/run/{id} until status is completed, failed, or timeout
Retrieve — Read outputs from the completed response
