MeshPencil

A rig-ready grease pencil for Maya.

Draw directly on a character surface. Strokes become clean sweep lines that follow the deforming rig — without jumping between surfaces. Built for stylized characters, motion-design passes, and graphic line accents.

The Why

Built for

Artists

Studios

Educators

Tools developed around everyday Maya workflows: fewer repeated steps, editable results and a direct line to the developer.

Speed without shortcuts

Reuse controller shapes, automate repeated actions and keep procedural setups editable. Spend less time rebuilding the same setup.

Built and used in Maya

Piotr develops the tools around his own Maya work. ZenGrove is a current focus of development and everyday use; its Early Access status is shown before you try it.

Artist-first by design

Not engineered in a vacuum. Built by working artists, shaped by feedback from people who actually rig, model, and ship — not by checklists from a roadmap document.

Scales with your pipeline

One seat or one studio — same toolset, same behaviour. Drop them onto a freelancer's laptop or wire them into a full pipeline; they get out of the way either side.
