Texture before or after animation.

Every thing I have read show adding textures to a model before adding animation. I was wondering if its okay to animate the model then add the texture later. From what I have read I don't think this would be a problem but I have not tried to do this yet.

Ideally yes the model should be textured before animation but it isnt neccessary.

Alot of times the texture will help you see where you need to weight and not weight vertices. A standard material won't show you that as well.
