TL;DR: I'm Marcus Chen from the Meshy team. I ran the same five prompts through Meshy 6, Tripo v3.1, and Rodin Gen-2.5 and compared the outputs on latency, mesh cost, geometry quality, and topology. No single tool won across the board. Meshy was fastest on text-to-3D but slowest on image-to-3D. Tripo produced the best geometry and cleanest topology. Meshy led on textured output but came last on white-mesh shape accuracy. Face count didn't predict quality at all. If you're evaluating these three, test the input mode and the dimension that actually matters to your pipeline.
