Meshy for ZBrush
Import AI-generated 3D models directly into ZBrush with the official Meshy plugin.
Overview
Meshy for ZBrush is a free plugin that connects MeshyAI to your ZBrush session. Transfer models with one click via the DCC Bridge — the model downloads in the background and imports onto the canvas as clean OBJ geometry when you click Import Pending. Runs on both macOS and Windows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, free to download. A Meshy Pro account or above is required to use the DCC Bridge.
After installing, a Meshy palette appears in ZBrush. Send a model from Meshy, then click "Import Pending" in the palette to load it onto the canvas.
No. ZBrush is a sculpting tool, so the plugin imports static OBJ geometry only. Animated and rigged sends are not supported.
ZBrush 2025.1 or later, since the plugin relies on the official ZBrush Python API. Older versions are not supported.
Yes. The plugin runs on both macOS and Windows; the installer bundles its own Python runtime, so no separate Python install is needed.
