Rollermatic - Maya Rolling Rig Generator

Rollermatic is a high-performance C++ plugin for Maya that makes any mesh roll naturally over any surface. Build clean, production-ready rolling rigs in seconds, then animate without babysitting constraints or hacking rotations. From rocks tumbling down a slope to props gliding across complex terrain, Rollermatic keeps contact tight and motion believable. Time to rock’n roll.

Why artists love it

• Easy and intuitive – One-click rig creation with animator-friendly tools for swapping or defining ground surfaces. No technical deep dives needed.
• Super fast – Powered by a native C++ node that stays smooth even with millions of polygons. Perfect for dense assets and production-heavy scenes.
• Flexible workflows – Every pipeline is different. Rollermatic rigs can be joint-based (Skin Cluster) or transform-driven, with support for both direct connections and Offset Parent Matrix setups.

What it does

• Generates rolling rigs for arbitrary meshes on arbitrary surfaces
• Animator tools to quickly define or swap ground surfaces
• Accurate handling of scale, orientation, and up-vector
• Offset controls for extra spins, slips, and nudges

⚠️ Linux Compatibility Disclaimer

RollerMatic is compiled and tested on modern Linux distributions using GCC 13 and GLIBC 2.35+ (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and newer).
A legacy build compiled with GCC 9 is also provided for compatibility with older systems such as CentOS 7/8, RHEL 8, or Ubuntu 18.04.

Because Linux environments vary widely across distributions and render farms,
binary compatibility is not guaranteed on all systems.
If you encounter version mismatch errors (for example, missing GLIBCXX symbols),
please use the corresponding linux-gcc9 plugin folder as described in the installation guide.
