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.

Smoothing normals

I have got a short and sweet question: how do you smooth normals in Maya.

Thank you in advance

Not sure if this is what you mean but...

Polygon menu set,
normals menu,
soften edge,

as far as I know this is how you make the geometry selected smoother without smoothing (ie; adding polys)

If I'm wrong someone will most likely correct me hopefully but that should help, hopefully....!
