Hi everyone, sharing a breakdown of a studio-style Ornatrix groom pipeline, focused on the parts TAs care about: keeping the groom editable, mask-driven regional control, and a clean rigging-safe bake (naming / namespace, setDistributionMesh + Attach Roots, a cluster deform test, DisplayFraction optimize).
There’s also a free open-source Maya tool (MIT, Maya 2022+ / Ornatrix 4.x) that builds the operator stack, creates the heavy operators disabled with one-click toggles, and applies a consistent handoff name.

Feedback welcome, especially on the handoff side.
