Shading and Look Development in Maya is natural using Maya's built in look development tools, combined with Pixar's powerful BXDFs. Using a combination of Pixar's and Maya's patterns and displacements combined with PxrSurface and PxrLayeredSurface or PxrVolume or PxrMarschnerHair BXDFs, pretty much any look can be achieved.
