Use Planar Mapping, or Automatic Mapping.
Also don't unfold the UVs because maya will try to smooth them that's why you get that effect.

In the "Attribute editor" go to "Render Stats" and verify if you have double sided "unchecked" if you do, selected and try to render again.

I am not sure if this can fix the problem but try it.
