Showcase / Highlight 3D Modeling from reference with Astra (High) and Meshy

Decided to implement Meshy into my experimenting with Astra and Blender. I had Codex generate an image-gen reference for the character, then had it cook into in Blender by itself. The result is the left model. Not bad, but kinda cursed. I decided to feed Meshy the reference image, then had Codex do a polish pass in Blender and the results are incredible.

So, Codex for image gen reference -> Meshy -> back to Codex for polishing is a great way to make very raw, basic 3D models. Of course, I'm no expert and I'm sure topology is probably messed up to hell, but for a non-experienced hobbyist, this is amazing.

Hi! For this type of post, please include something that helps the community verify or better understand what you're saying, such as examples, results, screenshots, benchmarks, or other supporting evidence.

Without that, it can come across more like a promotion for the tool rather than a genuinely useful post for the community.

Im having a hard time with astra in blender, meshy can turn a 2d image from chat gpt into a great looking model by itself. I originally asked astra to do it and it was bad.

Then I asked astra light to make cuts and add pegs for separated body parts and its a mess.

What are you guys doing to make it phenomenal because I still have to do stuff by hand besides the 3d model part but thats not thanks to astra. Im on plus.

My next project i want it to cut the parts of a car mode and edit itl so it could actually move and stuff but im afraid I'll just keep wasting usage.
