Premium Services for mGear Users
Custom Development
Need a solution tailored to your unique production workflow?
Our Custom Development service provides bespoke tools, components, and
integrations designed specifically for your studio’s needs—whether for Maya
(mGear) or Unreal Engine (ueGear). These solutions are developed privately and
delivered directly to your team, without being published in public repositories.
Licensing & Reuse Policy
All code developed under this service is licensed under the
MIT license, giving you full freedom
to use and modify it internally.
While the code is not made public, we reserve the right to reuse or adapt
non-confidential parts of the solution for the general mGear or ueGear
frameworks. This ensures that development across the community remains active
and inclusive, without being locked to individual studios.
Public vs. Private Scope
We carefully evaluate every custom development request. In some cases, we may
advise moving part or all of the request to Sponsored Development.
For example:
- If we are building tools that interface with your proprietary pipeline
or in-house technology, it clearly qualifies as Custom Development. - But if the request involves adding broadly useful functionality, such as a
new general-purpose rig component, tool, or utility, we will recommend
developing it as a Sponsored Development—to be shared openly with the
community.
This ensures a fair balance between private studio needs and the long-term
health and openness of the mGear and ueGear ecosystems.
Ideal for:
- Proprietary workflows and internal tools
- Confidential productions
- Studio-specific pipeline integration

Custom Development FAQ
What is Custom Development?
Custom Development is a service where we design and build tools specifically
tailored to your studio’s internal workflow or proprietary technology. These
tools are not shared publicly and are delivered directly to your team for
private use.
Is the code open-source?
Yes. All code is delivered under the MIT license,
giving you full freedom to use, modify, and extend it internally.
However, unlike Sponsored Development, the code is not published in public
repositories—it remains private to your team.
What’s the difference between Custom and Sponsored Development?
Custom Development is for tools that are specific to your pipeline or use
proprietary technologies and need to remain private.
Sponsored Development is for tools with broader applicability, which are
shared openly with the community under the MIT license.
We may advise moving part or all of your request to Sponsored Development
if the functionality has general value beyond your studio.
Will mcsGear reuse or adapt the code?
We may reuse or adapt code or techniques developed during a Custom Development
project—as long as they are not tied to proprietary technologies or confidential
aspects of your pipeline.
This ensures we can continue evolving mGear and ueGear for the community while
respecting your specific implementation.
Can we request a mix of custom and public tools?
Yes. Many projects include both private tools and general-purpose functionality.
We will help you evaluate and split the work accordingly between Custom and
Sponsored Development.
Will we be credited publicly?
Custom Development projects are private, so we do not include them in public
release notes unless you specifically request credit.
How is the project delivered?
You’ll receive clean, well-documented Python code with usage instructions.
We can also provide integration support, demo sessions, or training upon request.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on scope and complexity. We will provide a detailed estimate
after reviewing your request.
How do we get started?
Send us an email at hello@mcsgear.com with a brief
description of your project or tool idea. We’ll follow up to schedule a discovery call.
