Focused tools for people who make things move.
The Guardians Studio builds add-ons and utilities for 3D and VFX workflows — the kind of tool that removes a tedious step so you can stay in the creative flow. Licensing is straightforward: one key, your machines, and it keeps working offline.
Our tools
Small, sharp add-ons that do one job properly. Everything below is served from this domain and activated with a Guardians license key.

- 🛠 Cleanup controls to smooth jitter before you bake
- ⚡ Bake to keyframes and keep working in your normal pipeline
Where to buy
Our tools are sold through the stores you already use. Your purchase arrives here as a license key you activate inside the add-on — one key covers your allowed machines.
What you get
The add-on itself, your license key, and updates within the major version you bought. Bigger releases are a paid upgrade, and existing customers get a discount.
Learning the tool
Each add-on ships with a written guide and short walkthroughs. If something in the docs is unclear, write to us and we will improve it.
The studio
We are a small independent studio. We build the tools we wanted to exist, and we support them ourselves — the same people who wrote the code answer your email.
One job, done well
No bloat and no subscription treadmill. A tool earns its place by saving you time on a real task.
Direct support
Questions and bug reports go to a person, not a ticket queue. Most issues are answered within a working day.
Built to last
We keep up with the host applications we target, and we tell you plainly when a version is not supported.
Licensing, without the headache
Your license is a key, not a login. Activate it on your machines and get on with your work — no constant check-ins with our servers.
Buy and get a key
A purchase gives you a license key in the format GUAR-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.
Activate in the add-on
Paste the key once. It binds to that machine and stays valid offline for as long as your license lasts.
Move machines freely
Release a seat when you change hardware, then activate elsewhere. You are never locked out of hardware you own.
Renew only if you want
Perpetual and time-limited licenses are both available, and we always tell you up front which one you are buying.
Manage an existing license? The licensing server for the studio lives at license.theguardiansstudio.com.
