AI Image Generation

Generate 2D images from text descriptions, optimized as input for Image to 3D — giving you precise visual style control before entering the 3D pipeline.

---

TL;DR

• Generate 2D images from text descriptions, optimized as input for Image to 3D.

• Ideal when you have no reference image and want to quickly generate concept art.

• Outputs high-quality PNG, optimized for 3D conversion (clear subject, clean background).

• Difference from Text to 3D: here you generate 2D first, then convert to 3D — giving more precise visual style control.

---

When to Use

• You have a concept but no reference image and want to visualize it before converting to 3D.

• You want fine-grained control over 2D visual style before entering the 3D pipeline.

---

When NOT to Use

• You already have a reference image → Go directly to Image to 3D

• You want a one-step text-to-3D result → Use Text to 3D

• You want a guided creative process → Use 3D Agent for brainstorming and concept exploration

Step-by-Step

1. Enter the Image module → AI Image Generation.

2. Enter a description (e.g., "a low-poly cartoon fox sitting, front view, white background").

3. Select a style preset (e.g., Realistic, Anime, Chibi).

4. Click Generate and wait.

5. Choose the best result from multiple candidates.

6. Click "Send to Image to 3D" to enter the 3D generation pipeline directly.

Prompting Tips for 3D-Optimized Images

• Specify "front view" or "3/4 view" for the best 3D conversion angle.

• Add "white background" or "clean background" to reduce interference.

• Describe the complete form (don't just describe the head — describe the entire object).

• Avoid overly complex scenes — single subjects produce the best results.

FAQ

How do I generate an image from text in Meshy?

Open the Image module, go to AI Image Generation, enter a description, pick a style, generate, then send the result to Image to 3D.

What's the difference between AI Image Generation and Text to 3D?

AI Image Generation creates a 2D image first for precise visual control before converting to 3D; Text to 3D goes directly from text to model.

How do I write prompts for 3D-ready images?

Specify a front or 3/4 view, add white background, describe the full object, and keep it to a single subject.

What image styles can Meshy generate?

Presets include Realistic, Anime, Chibi, and more, optimized for clean conversion into 3D.

Can I send a generated image directly to Image to 3D?

Yes. Click Send to Image to 3D to move your chosen image straight into the 3D pipeline.
