In the video I explain how to move the character around, what each controller does (though you can find that by reading the name or just moving it around) and how to change the skin.

If you're just getting started on Maya then you might be a little confused of what do I mean with that. Well, occlusion is a useful little "filter" that will get your renders a better shading. I've only used on still renders, I have no experience with animation yet so I can't tell you if it's useful with animations or not. I will try to explain it so that anyone can understand, you only need basic knowledge of Maya and Photoshop, as this is for pictures not animations.
First of all, why would you want to use occlusion?
Without occlusion: ___________________________With occlusion:
Much better, right? It's really simple to do this, just follow this steps:
Set the camera in the exact position you want.
Render normally and save the image as TIFF (if you do it with PNG Photoshop will behave weirdly).
Do NOT move the camera, not even a bit, make sure it stays that way or you will have to start again.
Now go to Channel Box and look for this:
By default you will be on the Display tab (were the Mesh, Controllers and Helmet layers are), turn off the Helmet layer if it's not already hidden (I will explain why later). And then go to the Render tab and click on Occlusion, it should look like in the picture above.
When you do this your preview will turn completely black, don't panic that's supposed to happen. Remember to do not move the camera. And now render. You will see something like this:
If you hadn't hide the helmet on the previous step you wouldn't be seeing the eyes, eyebrows and mouth's shadows, instead you will have a lighten box around the head.
Save it just as you did with the render, remember to use TIFF. Open the render in Photoshop, create a new layer and paste the occlusion picture there. Set occlusion to multiply.
Now erase the shadows on the head that are over the helmet if needed, and that's it.

Hey, nice work! But I need some help, I am on Autodesk Maya 2013 (of course), but I can't start the rig, or when I'm able to nothing appears in the workspace...It's either invisible or just not there. ALL help is appreciated, and yes, I am a noob at Autodesk. Thanks again!
