Remesh API

New, clean topology at the face count you choose, laid out the way a modeller would, with the textures baked onto it.

Tool id remesh on the REST API (POST https://3dvalley.com/api/v1/jobs); MCP tool edit_model on https://3dvalley.com/mcp. Paid in credits (1 credit = $0.01), taken when the job starts and given back if it fails. The general rules (keys, idempotency, waiting, webhooks) are in the API docs.

Models and prices

Model	Name	Price	Time	What it is
tripo-remesh (default)	Tripo	50 credits	about 430 s	Tripo's retopology: a low-poly mesh laid out the way a modeller would, with the textures baked onto it. Slower, and the model is sent to Tripo for the run.

Input

Field	Required
mesh	yes	A mesh (GLB, glTF, OBJ, PLY or STL) as an https URL, an upload id (upl_...), a library id (ph:wooden_barrel_01) or an earlier job (job_... or its asset id 3dv:...).

Options

Option	Type	Values
faces	integer	from 500 to 20000	About how many faces: 500 to 20,000 (up to 10,000 as quads). Without it the model picks.
