HUMAN+AI STUDIO TOOLSET
FabricatorStudio is a one-person Technical Art studio making Artist Driven AI tools. Free for small studios. These are not AI tools, they are Artist tools with AI assistance.
A dev generates a working rig in minutes; a character artist pushes it to production level. Most AI tooling is built without refinement in mind. FabricatorStudio tools are built so you can drive your asset to production level standards.
has always lived inside expensive applications. Armature is for the indie dev who cannot justify one, and the veteran rigger who wants to move faster.
Armature is a new standalone application, no Maya seat needed: its AI half gets a character rigged in minutes, and its hand tools refine the result to production level.
Rigged, skinned, and animating in engine, all through the same route.
Joints placed by hand, skin weights solved on the machine, and one USD file carrying the mesh, skeleton, orientations and weights into Unreal, where the Fabricator Control Rig is built procedurally from that same export data.
Built procedurally in both, from one export.
The USD export carries control rig build data alongside the mesh, skeleton and weights. Both rigs are generated from it, so the controls, their shapes and their hierarchy match without anyone rebuilding them on the far side. The Maya builder ships free in the toolset today; the Unreal builder is what we are working on next.
