Input
URL of a humanoid character model in GLB format with clearly defined limbs. Works with models from Meshy, Hunyuan, Trellis or any other 3D tool.
Advanced settings
Also generate one animation clip on the rig. Returned as animation_glb / animation_fbx.
0696
Animation preset ID from Meshy's animation library (0 is Idle). Only used when animation is enabled. Range: 0 to 696.
Skeleton template for the rig (e.g. mixamo, ue5_mannequin, unity_humanoid). Some models can only be rigged on meshyrig without fingers. Allowed values: mixamo, ue5_mannequin, unity_humanoid, maya_human_ik, blender_rigify_basic_human, max_biped, cc5_hd_neutral_base, daz_genesis9, meshyrig.
Rig the character's fingers.

3. Queue
Submit a request
POST to /v1/run with this model ID and its inputs. The request example above includes submission and polling.
Fetch request status and result
Use the returned run ID to poll until the status is completed, failed or timeout. Read output only after completed.

Hosted files
Pass a publicly accessible file URL in the model’s image, video or audio field. Supported formats and limits are shown beside each Playground input.
Uploading images
Use the upload or replace control on supported image fields in the Playground. Video URL fields accept a hosted driving video; they do not imply video-upload support.
