FANTASTIC
Thank you Cathy! :)
I've been using this tool for a long time and just realized I never left a review. Mayastar is an amazing tool that has helped my business immensely. Thank you for the tool and for the videos!! :)
Life Saver tool!
Love it, I use to put together my version of Maya to work well with SL. It was a lot of time consuming work and can be quite frustrating and I didn't have as much to work with plus I have Avastar and would add that into my madness to try an finish animations as I couldn't get it to work in SL. Also I'm not much of a programmer so if anything code related would come up I could install scripts and do commands in python or Mel but that's pretty much it on the code side of Maya that I can do. But finally I can focus on my 3D work thanks to Cathy! Plus SL is getting better I don't have to create hacked rigs using attachment deformer's for more bones. Bento Rig is coming to SL and will solve all our problems when trying to be as creative as we like. Avastar and Mayastar are both amazing it's just that I am a Maya user and finally have a solution to stay in one program thanks to Mayastar! Keep up the good work Cathy, thanks again!
Easy Rigging for Fitted Mesh

Mahalo!

Awesome Sauce!
Works on Maya 2016 SP2
Great program and really had minimal issues installing the program; was very simple. I imported a Slink Hourglass dev kit into the scene and brought it's weights into the Mayastar skeleton with no problem. Cathy's tutorials are all over youtube and have some excellent tips for beginners and even advanced users when dealing with the wrath of SL's importing desires. Thanks so much! 5KL well spent for 5k x times faster results!
Amazing customer service from Cathy!
I purchased MayaStar a few weeks ago and initially had some trouble, but Cathy spent a significant amount of time on a call with me, not only to resolve the issue, but to help me get the configuration set up for a newbie like me. I couldn't be happier with the level of support! I'm new to mesh creation, but this product certainly looks like it will make the process easier.
