Best for
Quick text- or image-to-3D props with texturing and rigging
Unity users who want AI inside the editor
What it does
Text-to-3D and image-to-3D model generation with AI texturing; paid plans add animation with 600+ motions. DCC bridge listed for Roblox, Blender, Godot, Unity and Unreal.
Unity's AI tools (Unity is retiring the "Unity AI" name): an in-editor assistant for project questions, code and Editor actions, plus generators for images, textures, sounds, 3D models and animations, metered in Unity Credits. The Unity CLI, MCP server and Unity's official agent plugin are free.
Verdict
For quick text- or image-to-3D props with Godot/Unity/Unreal bridges; free output is CC BY 4.0, so you must credit Meshy unless you pay.
For Unity 6 users who want AI inside the editor: credits are included on Pro, Enterprise and Industry, while Personal gets a 14-day trial and then a paid subscription. Unity says you own the outputs, but third-party generator terms also apply.
