#### Fields
| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `image` | image URL, required | — | Image URL or base64 data URI of the object. Supports .jpg, .jpeg and .png; AVIF and HEIF are converted automatically. |
| `should_texture` | boolean | `true` | Generate textures. Untextured meshes cost less. |
| `target_polycount` | integer 100–15000 | `4000` | Target polygon count (100–15,000). |
| `pose_mode` | `a-pose` / `t-pose` / `` | `""` | Generate the character in an A-pose or T-pose; empty for no specific pose. |
| `enable_pbr` | boolean | `false` | Generate PBR maps (metallic, roughness, normal) in addition to base color. |
| `texture_prompt` | string | — | Text prompt to guide texturing. Maximum 800 characters. |
| `texture_image` | image URL | — | Image URL to guide texturing. |
| `enable_rigging` | boolean | `false` | Rig the model as a humanoid character. The rigged GLB is returned as rigged_glb. |
| `enable_animation` | boolean | `false` | Apply an animation preset to the rigged character (billed together with rigging). The animated GLB is returned as animation_glb. |
| `animation_action_id` | integer 0–696 | `92` | Animation preset ID from Meshy's animation library (0 is Idle). Only used when animation is enabled. |
#### Output
- `url`: Main 3D file (GLB unless another export format is selected).
- `thumbnail`: Preview image rendered by the provider.
- `rigged_glb`: Additional file returned by the provider.
- `animation_glb`: Additional file returned by the provider.
#### Billing
$0.60 per request with default settings. Price by option (other settings at default):
| Option | Price |
|---|---|
| enable_animation on | $0.92 |
| enable_animation off | $0.60 |
| enable_rigging on | $0.80 |
| enable_rigging off | $0.60 |
| should_texture on | $0.60 |
| should_texture off | $0.20 |
Failed runs are not charged.
