Skinning a full character. Painting, mirroring, and transferring skin weights (Maya & NGskintools)
This video shows skinning and skin weights painting techniques for a full character in Maya, including the face, using both NGskintools and Maya's native tools. The tutorial also shows how to export, import, transfer, mirror and relax skin weights, as well as how to transfer weights from the character to their clothes.
