Hi Gang:  I bought the Big Cats figures and the Big Cats Fur "shaders",  Not really sure what to do because when I use the fur shader and choose my cat - usually Cheetas for my Amazon court scenes, the colour leaves a lot to be desired,  even clicking the Cheeta shader for the Cheeta actor only produces a light yellow only and and not dynamic colour with the eyes or spots.  What am I doing wrong, do i have to buy yet another fur shader or to I have to choose the cat, then go into the surfaces tab and enhance each element of the Big Cat's fur?  Please advise and thanks for all your help. TTFN :)

    Moved to Daz Studio Discussion as it's question, not a Product Suggestion.

    Which Big Cats, and which shaders? Are you looking at the preview or are you rendering?

    Hi Richard, sorry.  It is the big cats 2 for both items.  Basically I tried an experiment, choose the cheetah form the Big Cats 2 Fur product, then I clicked the materials - again Cheetah, but nothing significant occured. I did a render of this and in about an hour using Iray all I got was mostly whited furred Cheetah with a little yellow, but nothing DYNAMIC or _  OOOOOOOOOOh look at that amazing Cheetah render, so it was kinda disappointing.  So what am i doing wrong with this package?

    Gah, I thought I had posted, but it seems it did not take!

    Are you usring Iray or 3Delight as your render engine?  The fur for the Big Cat 2 is done via LAMH if my memory serves and unless you exporrt that as an .obj or fibremesh or have the LAMH Catalyser product (and the big cat fur is supported) then it won't work under Iray.
