Stage 1 : Start Poser 4 and load the sample cat figure and a suitable pose.

Stage 2 : Choose a texture from the Abstraction or Mutation CD. I have used number 0063 here from Abstraction.

Stage 3 : From the "Render" menu, select "Materials" then load the above image into the "Texture Map" and "Reflection Map" boxes. Apply the texture ONLY to the fur.

Stage 4 : You can add a suitable background from the CD too. This one is number 0014.

Stage 5 : Just to finish off I have taken the rendered image into Photoshop in order to have a bit more control over the scene. Copy and paste the background texture into 2 separate layers (resize differently if required), with the top one in "Overlay" mode. Finally, I have blurred the edges surrounding the cat plus added a slight shadow.
