  "account": "Meshy Edit is a new tool that lets you edit specific parts of an AI-generated 3D model without changing the rest. It's useful when you only need to fix one detail, like an extra strap on a shield or a missing plume on a helmet. Before, you had to regenerate the whole model or edit it manually in Blender, which was time-consuming and frustrating.\n\nWith Meshy Edit, you can simply select the area you want to change, describe the change in plain language, and the tool will generate a new model with only that part modified. You can add parts (like a hat or plume), remove parts (like an extra strap), or replace parts (like swapping a helmet).\n\nThe process is straightforward: open Edit, select the area, describe the change, generate, and you get a new model. You can make mistakes and easily fix them with the selection tools, and you can attach reference images if needed. Each edit costs credits, but they're refunded if the edit fails.\n\nThis tool is especially helpful for game developers who need to create multiple variants of a character without losing its core features. You can create different helmets, weapons, or accessories while keeping the character's overall appearance consistent. Meshy Edit keeps the original model intact, so you can always go back to the original or make further edits.",
