Testing Meshy's Dual 3D Generation Modes

The author compares two 3D generation workflows offered by Meshy: image-to-3D and text-to-3D.
- image-to-3D: This involves generating a character image with SD first and uploading it to Meshy. Providing 3–4 different angles of the same character yields more stable reconstruction and consistent textures.
- text-to-3D: This generates directly from a text prompt. It’s a faster workflow since no initial image is needed, but it offers weaker control over specific appearances, often resulting in a "reasonable interpretation" rather than an exact reproduction.
Conclusion: If you have a clear character design, prioritize multi-view image-to-3D; if you just need a quick mesh, text-to-3D is much easier.
