Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Rigging - what comes first?
I'm a Lightwave guy learning Maya at the moment...
I have a question about rigging -
Because I'm used to Lightwave, I painted the weights in Low-Poly at first and then smoothed, but I've noticed that doing that leaves all the new points (vertices?..) without weights, though they do deform when I'm moving the bones...
So should I smooth my mash before I bind it to a skeleton and paint the weights or after? does it affect the deformation?
Thanks.

Smoothing after painting weights will smooth the weights to the new verts.
