## README

### Meshy N1 Retexture
Meshy N1 Retexture repaints an existing 3D model from one reference image or up to four reference views, producing a 2K base color texture.
#### Fields
| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `model_url` | string, required | — | URL of the 3D model to texture. Supports .glb, .gltf, .obj, .fbx and .stl. |
| `image_style_url` | image URL | — | Single reference image of the target texture, treated as the front view. Provide this or multiview_image_urls. |
| `multiview_image_urls` | image URLs (1–4) | — | 1 to 4 reference views of the target texture; the first is the front view. Cannot be combined with image_style_url. |
| `enable_original_uv` | boolean | `true` | Use the model's original UV mapping instead of generating new UVs. |
#### Output
- `url`: Main 3D file (GLB unless another export format is selected).
- `thumbnail`: Preview image rendered by the provider.
#### Billing
$0.40 per request.
Failed runs are not charged.
