### Start a New Mesh

Click the **New Mesh** button on the printer and select **New Mesh** from the menu. You will be prompted to enter a text description of the object you want to create.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/PqiRAqZMgTsGR8SakmbF" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Try to clearly describe the shape, style, and purpose of the object. Check out our [Writing Prompts](/basics/writing-prompts.md) page for tips on writing prompts.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Generate a Preview

After submitting your prompt and paying L$20, the printer will generate a preview image.

The preview shows how MeshZEUS interprets your description and helps you decide whether to continue.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/5897liFtuGednH5dc0gY" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

If you want a different result:

* Select **Regenerate**
* Pay L$20 for the additional preview

Each preview creates a slightly different variation using the same prompt.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Generate the Mesh

Once you are satisfied with a preview, select **Generate Mesh** and pay L$480.

MeshZEUS will generate the 3D mesh, optimize it for Second Life, upload it, and deliver it directly to you.

<div align="left" data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/aVm1u4Lon8fa65GhL9T9" alt="" width="277"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

No manual upload or external tools are required.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Receive Your Mesh

When the process is complete, your mesh will be delivered to your inventory and is ready to rez and use.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/rd2cqJu4UhophnYIQR77" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

{% hint style="info" %}
All previews and creations are also saved into your [MeshZEUS account](https://meshzeus.com/home)!
{% endhint %}

Generation time may vary depending on system load.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Tips for Best Results

* Keep prompts clear and descriptive
* Use previews to refine your idea before generating the mesh
* If a preview is close but not perfect, try another preview instead of changing the prompt

MeshZEUS makes creating mesh simple - preview first, generate when ready.
