With Patrick you can never be totally sure he's a lot things including being a abusive asshole but that don't mean a racist too but that don't chance how truly awful the guy is
Patrick is just a stereotype bad guy, just like Tybalt and Dawe.

Well... Maya's skin has many problems, some of them are even baked on the diffuse (base color) maps and, unless you remake 'em, they'll persist, but you can do many things to improve it: remove all displacement maps; remove the bump maps (a bad bump is worst than no bump at all, and Maya's bump maps are just desaturated versions of the diffuse maps -- which are not entirely bad but there are some problematic areas that are transfered to the bumps --, remove the top coat bump maps; and, if you want to attenuate it even more, replace the glossy and TC weight maps with the "Micros.jpg" provided with DT Yolanda materials. Here's the comparison (I'm using the ass not onlly because I'm fond of this part of the body, but because it's one of the most problematic areas when it concerns Maya's skin materials):

MAYA'S DEFAULT MAPS (DT YOLANDA):

MAYA'S MATERIALS REWORKED ONLY REMOVING/CHANGING MAPS (NO PHOTOSHOP NECESSARY):

Perfect? Not. But, IMHO, better (those white dots are baked in the diffuse map and could only be removed in a photo editor like Photoshop of GIMP. It's possible to do it and, at the same time, retain Maya's characteristics, but it's more worksome).
Today after the discussion I experimented a little and in the Surfaces section changed the base bump for Maya skin from the default 2 to the minimum position and made two test renders. Indeed, the picture has become a little better and this proves that the situation is fixable.
Still, skin is far from perfect.

Yes it is. It's one of the most basic stereotypes. The bad guy who is a bad guy for no other reason than being a bad guy.
That doesn't apply to Patrick he thinks he doing this for Helen he just totally wrong in how he does it

Hang on, someone please refresh my memory. Wasn't it canon and unavoidable that MC invites Zoey to the party? So how is that a curveball?
No, it reveals in a flashback if I'm not wrong. Right after she appears in the party. The curveball part is her just smiling to the camera in one render while MC talks to Dereck.
