Input

FieldKindDefaultDescription
image_url requiredURL or file—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.
model_typeone of
standard, lowpoly, smart-topology, smart-topology-t2
standardType of 3D mesh generation. 'standard' produces a regular high-detail mesh; 'lowpoly' produces a low-poly mesh optimized for cleaner polygons; 'smart-topology' (Smart Topology T2.5) and 'smart-topology-t2' (Smart Topology T2) produce clean, triangle-only meshes with natively separated parts — T2.5 has sharper detail, T2 is faster. When set to 'lowpoly', the remesh controls (topology, target_polycount, should_remesh) are ignored by Meshy.
topologyone of
quad, triangle
triangleSpecify the topology of the generated model. Quad for smooth surfaces, Triangle for detailed geometry.
target_polycountnumber (whole)
100 to 300000
30000Target number of polygons in the generated model. When model_type is a smart topology option and this is left unset, that model's default is used instead (15,000 for T2.5, 4,000 for T2); the maximum is 30,000 for T2.5 and 15,000 for T2.
symmetry_modeone of
off, auto, on
autoControls symmetry behavior during model generation. Off disables symmetry, Auto determines it automatically, On enforces symmetry.
should_remeshtrue or falsetrueWhether to enable the remesh phase
should_texturetrue or falsetrueWhether to generate textures
enable_pbrtrue or falsefalseGenerate PBR Maps (metallic, roughness, normal) in addition to base color
is_a_t_posetrue or falsefalseDeprecated: use pose_mode instead. When true, generates a T-pose model.
pose_modeone of
a-pose, t-pose,
Pose mode for the generated model. 'a-pose' generates an A-pose, 't-pose' generates a T-pose, empty string for no specific pose.
texture_prompttext—Text prompt to guide the texturing process
texture_image_urlURL or file—2D image to guide the texturing process
enable_riggingtrue or falsefalseAutomatically rig the generated model as a humanoid character. Includes basic walking and running animations. Best results with humanoid characters that have clearly defined limbs.
rigging_height_metersnumber1.7Approximate height of the character in meters. Only used when enable_rigging is true.
enable_animationtrue or falsefalseApply an animation preset to the rigged model. Requires enable_rigging to be true.
animation_action_idnumber (whole)92Animation preset ID from Meshy's library. Only used when enable_animation is true; in that case it must be in [0, 696] (``0`` is the "Idle" preset) and is otherwise rejected with a 422. See https://docs.meshy.ai/en/api/animation-library for available action IDs.
