Slimy Surface In Maya

This may help:

It's a max tutorial, but the techniques can be ported to maya I'm sure. Also, if you post a test pic, we could probably give suggestions on what you may wish to try.

Good tute Neil.
In Maya you could layer a transparent PhongE over a Lambert or Oren-Nayar, with Roughness 1.5, Highlight Size 0.1 and color about 0.5 (not too bright). Or use a Glossy shader from Highend3d.
And nothing spells 'slimy' quite as much as having a bump map in the spec layer and none (or a weaker one) in the Base shader.

You mean in Maya? Create Layered Shader, drag whatever shader you want inside its attribute window. Check the manual.

There's a new forum dedicated to shading skin in Maya, here:
http://www.deepwaterstudios.com/maya/
Check that out, and post your questions in the thread about my shader, I'll reply. (Be as specific as you can about what part you get stuck on)
