Meshy V6 Lite Retexture
Meshy V6 Lite Retexture from Meshy applies a new texture to an existing 3D model from a text style prompt or a reference image. It keeps the original UV mapping by default and can generate metallic, roughness, and normal maps alongside the base color at no extra cost. It is built for artists who want to restyle a mesh without regenerating its geometry.

FAQ
How much does Meshy V6 Lite Retexture cost? Is it free?+
How does Layer's pricing work?+
There are no seat fees, feature gates, or plans on Layer. Instead, our platform uses a consumption based system with Creative Units (CUs) with a flexible monthly subscription. Every generation on Layer (image, video, 3D, or audio) consumes a Creative Unit, and you only pay for what you create.
