Designed for Character Artists, Groom Artists, and Technical Artists, Guide Creator provides a fast, intuitive, and highly controllable way to generate guide curves in Maya using direction controls and procedural modifiers.
The workflow is built around guide groups. You start by creating a group on a selected mesh, then place guide roots with Plant, define the flow with Direct, and shape lift and volume with Lift. Fine-tune the result using the profile graph and modifiers, then convert the generated guides into standard Maya curves.
Guide Creator requires a 64-bit version of Windows and is compatible with Maya 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. Nikita Sergun also recorded an introductory tutorial showing the basic workflow in action.
