From Image-to-3D to AI Agents: How AI 3D Generation Operates in 2026

### Executive Summary: This article describes AI 3D generation and the Meshy AI platform—covering input methods (text, image, video), generation techniques (point clouds, voxels, neural radiance fields), automated tools (texture mapping, mesh generation, auto-rigging, PBR material maps), platform offerings (Creative Lab and Workspace 3.0), and manufacturing/partner integrations—positioning Meshy as a tool for designers, game developers, and creators rather than discussing any security-related incidents.
