This is the thirty-fifth in a series of brief videos on how to use Autodesk Maya to create animated projects. The videos are meant for beginners and each one focuses on a specific topic. This video looks at the issue of smoothing models made with polygon geometry. In particular, we look at using soft select to more gracefully manipulate an object and at smoothing the rendering of edges by adjusting normals.  The video is on vimeo.com.
