# Meshy 3D Generation — model skill for 3D scenes

> **For AI agents:** find the right skill in one call — `curl -s "https://varg.ai/how-to/api/search?q=<what the person wants>"` returns the matching how-to page and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://varg.ai/how-to/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add `.md` to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the how-to page. From a terminal: `curl -fsSL https://varg.ai/install | sh` installs the vargai CLI (https://varg.ai/how-to/cli.md): `vargai search` and `vargai install <slug>` with no key, every varg model after `vargai login`.

Meshy's official skill: text or image to a textured 3D model, then remesh, rig, animate and export it as GLB or FBX.

## What it does

Meshy's official agent skill drives the Meshy CLI: text-to-3D and image-to-3D models, texturing, remeshing and LODs, UV unwrapping, format conversion (GLB, FBX, OBJ, USDZ, STL, 3MF, Blender), rigging, animation and motion clips from text or reference images. The agent installs the CLI, signs in through one browser approval, quotes a credit estimate from `meshy make --dry-run`, stays within the budget you approve, and saves the file where you asked, with a rendered preview and task ids for follow-ups ("now as FBX", "a 1,500-face LOD"). Generation needs a paid Meshy plan. It is the character and prop step for code-made films: model here, then rig, animate and render in Blender or three.js.

## Use when

- make a textured 3D model from a text prompt or an image
- rig and animate a character, or make a motion clip from text
- remesh, add LODs, unwrap UVs or texture an existing model
- convert a model to GLB, FBX, OBJ, USDZ or a Blender file
- 3D characters and props for a code-made film or game

## Not for

- Physical 3D printing: use meshy-3d-printing from the same repo
- Free Meshy accounts: task creation is refused (HTTP 402)
