Rigging
1. If my model is polygonal, then should I smooth it before I rig it?
2. If I want to add cloth later, then do I need to do that before I rig?
3. To texture it do I need to uv map it before rigging it?
Thank you.

2) Don't know. Don't mess with cloth.
3) I usually UV map before rigging, so that you can delete history without deleting the rigging in the process.
