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.

Hand Binding?

I'm having trouble binding my hand, I'm incorporating another tut i've seen though obviously it isn't working the way I thought. I have selected the root joint (wrist area) and shift selected the geometry, then smooth bind. though only the wrist area is connected, if I rotate a finger the joints move separately. In short, how or do you know of any tutorials that show me how to bind joints to a hand model? I've searched the tuts in my favourites and google but am struggling.

Thanks

if you just selected the wrist as root - and - have unfortunately "Selected Joints" checked in the smooth bind optionbox - this might be the answer. just switch to "Joint Hierarchy" or select all of the joints needed. I prefer to choose -> bind to Selected Joints. this way you can forgo the endjoints which have no influence since you don´t rotate them.

hope that helped
