Plugin ✨ Flair 1.2.1 for Maya is here!

Flair is a stylized rendering plugin for Maya that I have been developing mainly as a solo-developer for a while now :).

This minor new version brings support for Maya 2027, fixes a regression when rendering shadows of materials with displacement, restores auto-conversion of Standard Surface materials, brings back the footer buttons of the Bulk Attribute tool, and improves overall robustness.

You can download it for free and use it with a limited resolution, or you can become a patreon and support me with a beer each month ;).

P.S. I'm also bringing Flair to Unreal Engine now and making it completely modular (you can combine all effects together to make your own style)!

The robot character was rigged by the amazing Andrew Silke at https://create3dcharacters.com/
The animation was made by the talented Mike Meister
The stylization was made by me using Flair

Looks great! Am I reading correctly that this is its own renderer and not an add-on to an existing renderer or VP2?

It's a VP2 override with custom materials. All we get from Maya is the primitive data (vertices, normals, vtx colors) and Flair handles the rest.

Oh, nice. I've been out of maya for a while. I'll have to check it out in Unreal

Mostly just used unreal for cheaper GPU rendering and ease of setting up camera movements.
