Rigging and Skinning to a smooth mesh is it possiable?

1813

Alright! I've got a completely modeled player model i'm working on for a project but i haven't done animation in maya before and i'm wondering if i'm able to rig, skin and animate it while in smooth preview or will i be required to optimize the mesh before i rig and skin?

Yes, you can rig, skin, animate and software-render your model with smooth preview or not. But smooth preview will not help, if its for a game engine, which most likely will not support dynamic mesh smoothing. Just go ahead and do the skinning, if problems come up with the mesh, you can fix them later.
