I would suggest you check out the eat3d.com Next-Gen Texturing tutorial. Even though it's not in maya... I've seen a couple of people who have made threads about doing it in maya instead of 3ds max.

erm, i dunno about you other guys, but i used the tutorials and information on polycount/skindom/etc/etc sites when figuring out what this whole 'skinning' business was about.

Also, thanks a lot for liking…
