Complex UV Layout in Maya
Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

Need help creating a specific material for a character
I’ve been working on a version of the TiVo mascot character and can’t seem to figure out what renderer and shader I should use for his screen/body. Someone else on a different forum told me to stick with a black Arnold shader (I’m on Maya, by the way), but that didn’t quite cut it. Then I tried a black ramp shader, and that too wasn’t right.
Here are several pictures of the character:
Please get back to me as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Bryce Powell

How exactly should I achieve this? Are there any tutorials? And what renderer is best for the scene?What are your results so far? If you're able to share. Honestly, it does just look like a simple black shader with really low specular roughness. The look really comes from the environment, which seems to be a fairly generic studio setup. Some soft boxes. Basically some area lights with a circular ramp plugged into the light color.

I'd suggest Arnold. The Maya software renderer is ancient and hasn't been developed in ages. It's just there for backwards compatibility at this point. Anyway, there's stuff on the YouTubes. A simple studio setup tutorial. Given your reference images, your light placement, color etc will differ. Doesn't use textured lights but that's an easy remedy.

Plugging textures into materials (or in this case, lights. no difference)
