Full body morphs are available in the "Panthera Tigris" Body Parameters Panel.
There are also independent Claws Off morphs available for each foot.
Note
: due to the high number of polygons, it may be convenient to hide the fur, pose the
character, and make the fur visible just at render time.
Rendering tips
: Poser Pro users should always use the Queue Manager in order to avoid
possible FireFly errors. Once you have setup the character, open Render Settings and
Send the Render to Queue.
Non-Pro Poser users should configure the Render options in the General Preferences as
follows:
- Number of Threads: maximum value available (32 on Poser 8)
- Separate Process: Enabled
Also, in the Render Settings->FireFly->Manual Settings window, set a Bucket Size equal
or less than 16.
Non-Pro Poser users will have probably to experiment and tweak settings to find the best
balance between quality and stability.
Best quality renders are obtained using the following settings:
- Depth Map Shadows with a 1024 map size
- 16 pixel samples
- Min shading rate: 0.20
- Smooth Polygons: enabled
Remember also to enable "Use displacement maps" in the Render Settings window.
Displacement mapping is particularly useful when doing close-up renders, but if the
character is reasonably far from the camera viewpoint you might want to decrease it's
value or even disable it.
To do that, just go to the Material Room, select the Body material and adjust the
Displacement value as you wish. I found out that a value of 0.002 is perfect for close-ups,
and 0.001 is the best when the figure covers the whole render area.
Note for Poser7 users: on some Poser7 versions, Velvet node calculations seem to
produce very dark results. If that's the case, please set the Standard Fur and White Fur
velvet nodes as follows:
Ka = 1, Kd = 1, Ks = 1, Roughness = 0.5, Edginess = 0.1

Load the tiger figure (
Tiger - DS.cr2
). Since it has just the "basic" material assignments
inherited from Poser, apply DS specific shaders doing the following operations:
