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

Texture 3d

Hello, for some months I have used 3d programs (Blender, Maya and ZBrush) watching the tutorials I find on the web, and I already do clothes, objects, I take AO, put skeleton in clothes. I know the basics, but my textures always go opactas,
no glare and noobs ... could someone give me tips to at least I know where to start to stop making nice textures?

I make the textures of the clothing using Ambient Occlusion, because the shadow map always gets dark parts.

You can use the "cloth" node in the hypershade to add bump and spec (use blinn for main shader), you do need to increase the repeat uv to some thing like 512x512 to get the texture small enough. Also look at the ramp shader for stuff like velvet..............dave

Ah, O.K I think I get what you're saying. It's a combination of a couple things. The light and camera are angled facing front and center, which will make most subjects look flat especially ones with a matte surface like what we see here. The dark areas are appearing because of the lack of bouncing light which looks strange with a white background, check out Final Gathering.

To expand on Dave's comment, many fabrics will have some degree of highlighting around the contours, this is caused by tiny fibers catching light. You could use a technique like this and adjust the gradiant colors based on how subtle the "fuzz" needs to be(see velvet near the bottom of the page).

The scenario in which the clothes are not is the maya is a 3d game called Second Life.
