Short answer: Meshy’s 3D Agent path (chat → approve 2D concepts → export, including print formats) is growing a plugin / chat-to-slicer distribution story — press coverage points at a Hermes-style agent plugin (URL listed; body details UNVERIFIED this window after a soft fetch). That is a subscription + per-action credit product shape. If your job is one photo → one inspectable accepted GLB before you trust a slicer or a DCC import, start with a priced forever draft, not a discounted suite month. On trellis-2.com Mini is $4.99 / 150 credits = one 512³ (1024³ / 1536³ = 300 / 500). One-time credits never expire; failed jobs return reserved credits; GLB + PBR included.
Host clarity: trellis-2.com is an independent hosted TRELLIS.2 service — not Microsoft, not the official project site. Support email on this product (working mailbox today): [email protected].

Plugin / subscription path vs one-time accepted pack
| You want… | Better starting point |
|---|---|
| Chat brainstorm → batch concepts → suite tools (animation, DCC bridge, Agent) every month | Meshy Pro (watch month-1 promo vs month 2+) |
| Agent inside another chat / slicer plugin surface | Meshy Agent + plugin ecosystem — confirm live Meshy docs / press |
| One photo, one draft GLB, inspect before print | Mini $4.99 |
| First hosted TRELLIS.2 taste test | Mini, then decide |
| One retry at 512³ or one step to 1024³ | Starter $12.90 / 300 cr |
No dunking: an Agent plugin that lands next to your slicer is valuable when conversation is the workflow. A forever Mini slot is valuable when unit cost of an accepted GLB is the workflow.
First-month ~50% off ≠ accepted GLB unit cost
Live Meshy public pricing this window: Pro $20/mo, card narrative ~$10 first month / 50% off first month for new users; Pro lists 1,000 monthly credits and Agent access. Live Trellis Mini: $4.99 buys exactly one 512³ slot that does not expire.
| Math lens | What it answers | What it does not answer |
|---|---|---|
| Meshy first-month ~$10 | Cost to enter the suite for 30 days | Cost per accepted mesh after rejects |
| Meshy Agent / plugin | Throughput of chat→export actions | Your slicer’s real pass/fail on this mesh |
| Trellis Mini $4.99 | Cost of one 512³ draft you can refuse | Suite animation / Agent chat features |
Treat Meshy’s “97% slicer pass” (Agent LP, internal test) and any Hermes press percentages as marketing / reported claims — always run your slicer on your file.
Inspect-first checklist (before you call it accepted)
- Download the GLB; orbit in a viewer — look for holes, inverted normals, paper-thin walls.
- Convert only after inspection (browser STL/3MF tools if you use them).
- Slice a small test — do not trust a marketing pass rate.
- If the draft fails, you spent a known Mini dollar — not an opaque Agent action stack.
- Need another try or higher res? Starter / Pro packs on pricing; failed provider jobs on this site return credits.

FAQ
Is trellis-2.com Microsoft?
No. Independent host. Official Microsoft / open-weight TRELLIS.2 support is a different counter.
Why does support email say trelis-2?
Use [email protected] — that is the working mailbox today. Do not “correct” it to trellis-2 in mailto until Charlie MX is ready.
Does a Hermes plugin replace inspecting the GLB?
No. Plugins change where you start the Agent. Acceptance still happens in your viewer and slicer.
Inspect-first workflow on Trellis Mini
- Buy Mini $4.99 / 150 credits on trellis-2.com/pricing.
- Submit one photo and run the 512³ job.
- Inspect the GLB + PBR download in your viewer or DCC before you trust a print path.
- If you need a retry or a step up, use Starter $12.90 / 300 cr (or the live ladder) rather than assuming a suite month is cheaper.
