MayaStar is a plugin rigging system for Autodesk Maya. It works with Maya 8.0 through 2022. Much of MayaStar will work with Maya LT but there are limitations since Maya LT is a limited version of Maya. Feel free to contact me first if you are using Maya LT.

MayaStar is a must have if you make rigged fashion in Maya.
So all the Stars for MayaStar !
Highly Recomended
Excellent ! Excellent product, excellent customer service !
Very Kind!!!!
Very nice, I had a problem but it has been very attentive and friendly in helping :)
Excellent Product.
Fitted mesh can be very tricky but this really helps! This makes your mesh workflow much quicker! tyyyyyy <3
A must Have !
Works great ! much better than expected .. I am new to Maya but I was able to rig and fix my weights in no time and had better than expected results.
This is truly a must have if you want to be able to cut you rigging / weight painting time and frustration.
You will still have to do some adjustments to the weights... This is not a magic button but it sure is a Great start !
Customer service is incredible !!! I have Maya 2014 and I had an issue installing the plug in .. but the creator got with me on Skype and we got it to work (she will be updating things so newer versions of Maya will work with her instructions) Maya changed some things .. that is why I had an issue ...
Also I got to see the Maya Fit plug in she is working on ... OMG that will be another MUST HAVE !!! it will basically make the 5 sizes for you .. so with this and her upcoming plug in you can make Fitted Mesh and the 5 standard sizes and cut your workflow time down ALOT !
I really cant rave about this enough ... I have sent weeks and weeks trying to rig and weight paint to get something that was acceptable and in a few hours I had something very close to saleable using this plugin for Maya.
Great product, Excellent customer service!!
MayaStar has an outstanding customer service.
This product is very helpful and Cathy Foil knows exactly how to guide her clients through it.
5 Stars.
