Is there an easy way to get a tabby colouring on a Big Cat model?

Hello,

I'm working on a project that shows a man and his cat. His big cat. However, the real cat that it's modelled on is a grey tabby. I have the tabby material, but I can't get it to go on the big cat. 

Is there a way to get a big cat looking like a tabby without a whole lot of reworking? It's more of a gag project, so I don't want to be sinking hours into it.

Thanks!

In the Product Library could be some templates for the big cat. The tabby material would have to be matched to those areas [in an image editor that works with layers], and then the new texture can be applied to the big cat using the Surface tab in D/S.

Well the HW3D bigcat and housecat share the same UV mapping (and mesh in fact)

Maybe try & edit the tiger materials to be orange & buff instead of orange and brown (or black, I'm not sure which color the dark stripes are)

You could scale up a housecat to the desired size.

My attempt at zprojecting my fur was less than stellar as my big cat clone is not that great

is not exact by any means but it is redistributable!!!!!
