The honest brief
Meshy
The most balanced 3D generator — text/image-to-3D, PBR textures, topology control, and broad engine exports in one tool.
- Clean meshes, good edge flow
- Auto-rigging and topology controls
- Blender/Unity/Unreal exports
- API for pipeline automation
- Geometry can look soft vs Rodin
- Less beginner-friendly
- Locked to one in-house model
- Credit-based freemium
Spline
A real collaborative 3D editor for interactive web scenes first, with AI generation bolted on as an accelerator — not a prompt-only toy.
- Full browser-based 3D editor
- Exports scenes for the web
- Real-time collaboration
- AI object/texture/animation generation
- Learning curve for non-designers
- AI generation is secondary to manual editing
- Heavy scenes can tax browsers
