• The plugin supports Maya 2023 through 2026 on Windows (macOS isn't supported at this time) Currently, Ahoge supports rendering in Arnold only and allows exporting hair as Alembic to Unreal Engine and Marmoset Toolbag 5.  To install the plugin, follow the instructions in the ahoge_installer. Manual Installation is also available.  If you failed to install the plugin, please contact us,  we will try to help you.  We are a small team  developing a plugin for Autodesk Maya called Ahoge, designed to simplify the process of creating hairstyles — including stylized and complex ones, such as those often seen in anime, manga, and game projects.

• Zoo Tools Pro (Zoo2) is a powerful productivity toolkit built for Maya, designed to streamline everyday 3D workflows across modeling, rigging, shading, animation, and rendering. It packs 80+ custom tools into a modular, intelligent suite so that artists, character creators, and animators can focus more on creativity and less on repetitive rigging and scene setup tasks. At the heart of Zoo2 is Hive Auto-Rigger, a fast, flexible auto-rigging system that lets you set up character rigs with ease. Whether your project demands a humanoid, stylized, or nonstandard limb structure, Hive handles control creation, joint placement, and skinning setup—all while allowing you to retain creative control.

Well suited for dramatic acting & body mechanics with a solid face-rig and range of motion to craft impactful shots!
