Multi-View lets you upload several reference images of the same object so Meshy can build a more accurate 3D model. Choosing the right angles—and knowing when a single image is actually the better choice—makes a big difference in the final result.
Angle Matrix: What to Capture
For best results, aim to capture:
Front view — the primary silhouette and face of the object
Side view (left or right) — depth and profile details
Back view — details not visible from the front
Top view (optional) — useful for objects with distinct top geometry
Keep Lighting and Object Consistent
All images should show the same object, in the same pose, under similar lighting. Avoid mixing photos taken at different times of day, angles that shift the object's position, or images with heavy shadows on one side and not another.
When Not to Use Multi-View
Multi-Image isn't always the better option. Skip it when:
You only have one clear reference image
Additional images actually show different objects or poses
The extra angles are blurry, low-resolution, or heavily cropped
In these cases, a well-chosen single image often produces cleaner results than multiple inconsistent ones.
Common Mistakes
Uploading images with different scales or crops
Mixing an illustration with a photo of the same subject
Using angles that barely differ (e.g., two near-identical front shots
FAQ
1. How many images can I upload for Multi-View?
You can upload multiple reference images, typically front, side, and back views, for the best coverage.
2. Can I mix a sketch and a photo?
It's best to keep all reference images in the same style and format to avoid conflicting details in the generated model.
3. Will more images always improve quality?
No. Consistent, well-lit images of the same object matter more than the raw number of images.
