Been busy lately and had to leave the troll for a while , but I've found some interesting stuff

Script for manual UDIMS in Maya for Vray

Found out that the only way to use 32bit UDIM displacement in maya is to create a network of file nodes , because using actual UDIM setting will remove "negative colors" and your model will only go out not in :(

This script will create a UV UDIM tiles offset each one of them ,turn off UV wrap,allow negative colors , set color space to Linear (for 32bit), connect to default color them in order, filter type mipmap (for tiled .EXRs) and filter to 0.1 .

All you need to change is $ColPatchN and $RowPatchN  to size you need to match your UDIMS and attach each texture file to correct number. Maybe I'l update it later if there won't be better solutions for that (or maybe there already is something idn)

Here's the script itself:

//Create Attributes
string $filename = "dFile1_";
string $placerN = "tPlacer1_";
int $tempRow;
int $tFrameU = 1 ;
int $tFrameV = 0 ;
int $RowN = "1001";
int $ColN = "10";
int $ColPatchN = "8"; //number of columns
int $RowPatchN = "2"; //number of rows
int $lastCount = $RowPatchN - 1 ; //number to attach lasr cell from rows
int $secondTime = 0 ; //skip first one

Progress

All parts assembled , I have a rigging class next term but I've tried to make a simple one for posing right now, next steps >

1.Looks like displacement gives to better results than I thought , so more more surface detailing !
2.Rebake reimport , make a usable rig and pose
3.Cloth and cloth related details on the pose
4.Shave and haircut
