Connecting low rez to hi rez model
The reason:
I modeled something in zbrush I didnt Uv map or anything so decided to create a level 1, 2 and 3 smoothe model and brought them each in to Maya. Now they're separate models, how do I link it together?
Why:
I want to be able to rig and paint weights for the low res, and transfer it to the hi res.
Thanks
Andy

It does just what you want, it allwos you to bind a low res model to a high thus allowing you to move the low res and drive the high res model.
Just bind it, make sure its looking ok then hide the high res model (freeing up system resource) animate, unhide the high and hide the low and render.
