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.

Smooth bind - max influences?
the default is 5, though this seems a lot for a human character. I've read that 3 is preferable, or 4.
Anyone here have any thoughts? I'm using the digital tutors rig if anyone is familiar with it, and don't think I can see need for more than 3 and it may just result in more work.
Any thoughs?
cheers

I think I know the one rig you mean, its really more of an experimentation thing tbh, try it with 5 at first, then drop down to say 4 or 3, and see which needs the least work done when it comes to correcting the weights you paint on it,

This means you will get a rigid predictable bind but with flexibility to smooth out how you want it.
