Meshy Relief
Turn one JPG, PNG, or WebP image up to 20 MB into a low or high relief. Download a 16-bit 2K PNG depth map, with optional GLB and STL meshes. Set a 20–250 mm size, emboss or engrave, adjust depth and base removal, and optionally bend the relief. Mesh resolution ranges from 512 to 2048; high-resolution or bent meshes can produce very large downloads.

Price table
Each row is the price for one completed 3D model generation.
| Variant | Price |
|---|---|
Default Default | $0.8/model |
Settings
Generation controls available for this model.
Output Format
GLB
Base thickness mm
Base plate thickness in millimeters. Defaults to 1. Not allowed with remove_base.
Bend angle
Default
60
Bend angle in degrees. Under 1 stays flat.
Bend axis
Default
xz
Options (2)
xz, yz
Bend axis: 'xz' curls the left and right edges, 'yz' the top and bottom.
Bend mode
Default
off
Options (3)
off, convex, concave
Bend the relief into a convex or concave curve.
Carving depth mm
Carving depth in millimeters. Defaults to 3 for 'low' and 6 for 'high'.
Carving mode
Default
emboss
Options (2)
emboss, engrave
'emboss' makes the nearer parts stand out; 'engrave' inverts the depth so they are cut in.
Enable safety checker
Default
Yes
If set to true, input data will be checked for safety before processing.
Mesh resolution
Default
1024
Mesh points along the long side. At 2048, files reach about 150 MB (GLB) and 300 MB (STL), and a bend can push the STL to about 800 MB.
Removal threshold
Only used with remove_base. Depth below which the background is cut, on the depth map's 0-1 scale. Defaults to 0.01.
Showing 9 of 13 settings.
API request
Submit the generation with POST /api/generate-video, then poll the returned run ID for completion.
