Can AI Bring Your Drawings to Life — Meshy-5 Tutorial

What if you could take a crayon sketch your kid made… and turn it into a real, 3D-printable toy?

I put Meshy AI to the test — taking a child-style drawing from flat image to physical model. Then I pushed it further: using AI-generated images and Meshy’s built-in rigging to pose and print a full squad of custom tabletop minis.

It’s a wild mix of AI tools + hands-on making — and the process is honestly one of the easiest I’ve used for turning 2D art into something you can actually hold.

✨ In this video, I cover:
Turning a crayon sketch into a 3D printable toy
Using Meshy’s community library and AI prompts to create custom characters
Rigging and posing in Blender
Printing and displaying a mini army from one base mesh
The strengths and limits of Meshy’s workflow
