The only entry here that hands back a textured 3D model — the output goes straight into a game engine rather than a render

About the company
Meshy was founded in 2021 by Ethan Hu, previously working on graphics at NVIDIA, and covers ground nobody else on this list does: three-dimensional models. The problem is harder than an image — you need geometry with textures that opens in an engine and drops into a scene, not a projection. Its audience is game developers and people building objects for AR. The free tier gives a hundred credits a month, but the output carries an attribution licence, which is worth checking before a commercial project starts.
