Look development in Maya 2027 (Arnold)
Expert look dev is a material that holds under any light a lighter throws at it: correct data in
(every map in the right color space through the right plug), physically meaningful base values
(measured metal colors, glass tinted by depth, scattering at real scale), then deliberate
imperfection, judged on a neutral turntable with reference balls, one change per render. Nothing is
done before a render has been looked at. If a sibling skill named here is missing from your
available skills, ask the user to install it (npx skills add scenario-labs/skills --skill <name>);
unattended, proceed from tool schemas and flag the gap.
REQUIRED BACKGROUND: scenario-maya-expert (execution channel, review loop, 2027 version traps).
Status (2026-09-24): scripts/mx_shade.py is not yet run in Maya:
122 offline checks passed; the Maya layer ran against a fake maya.cmds (logic only). Once Maya is
installed: tests/code/maya-lookdev/run_all.sh, then fix the attribute tables from
probe_lookdev.json.
