Own Your Character Pipeline

At mcsGear, we believe that studios and creators should have full ownership and control over their character rigging and animation workflows.

All our services — from rig development to training and pipeline bootstrapping are designed to deliver not only production-ready rigs and tools, but also the documentation, source code, and knowledge needed to maintain and evolve them independently.

You’re never locked in.

We offer support and maintenance when you need it, but you’ll always have the freedom to adapt, scale, or collaborate with others without relying solely on us.

Our Core Values

💡 Transparency
No black-box solutions. We share every part of the process, from code to structure.

🔧 Maintainability
We build systems your team can understand, support, and evolve without dependency.

📚 Knowledge Transfer
Training, documentation, and guidance are built into every service.

🧩 Flexibility
We adapt to your pipeline, your needs, and your team — not the other way around.

🛠️ Production Readiness
All our rigs and tools are built with real-world film, game, and animation workflows
in mind.

🤝 Collaboration
We work with your team, not just for you. Every service is a partnership.

🔧 Our Services
