Could you build this?

Partial While an AI can generate standard Maya UI dialogs and script wrappers, creating a stable procedural grooming plugin for Maya XGen requires specialized 3D graphics and pipeline technical director expertise.

What it would actually take: Built as a Python or C++ plugin interacting with Autodesk Maya's internal `xgenm` and OpenMaya APIs. The difficult part involves generating, binding, and interpolating hair guides across 3D meshes while maintaining stable UV mappings, cache serialization, and memory management without crashing Maya during render evaluations.
