Looking for animal skins

Steel Rat

Hello all,

I'm looking for animal skins, like one might find as bedding in the floor of a cave. Not having a lot of luck. I've seen a product for rugs with animal fur, but they wouldn't work as skins in a caveman environment.

Any help is appreciated!

One can apply fur shaders to blankets, planes, etc. {needs to have enough mesh to hold the fur}.

That's a possibility, but then they're just squares or rectangles instead of animal skin shapes.

or you can scale down a spreadeagled animal after converting it to a prop then apply strandbased hair

Not if you use the geometry editor brush and delete some geometry ;-) Or one can make such in a modeler [i.e. Hexagon] to get some rounder edges.

An easier way would be to make a transparency map.

Thanks Wendy!

Do you know if the cape textures alone provide all the furriness, that I can apply to anything? Or does the cape provide that?

https://www.daz3d.com/summer-siesta it's kind of old, but has a tigerskin rug, there was an expansion, but it seems to be out of circulation Romanesque for SS, it had a zebra skin.

edit: found the name but not the product.

Maybe but as I recall people have been reporting that Iray and transparency maps aren't the best combination.

Was also thinking that using the free script by richardandtracy to flatten out a prepared animal object [first thing being to delete all unnecessary groups], one could have an easy catskin or whatever.

Naw, it works fine.  I went through it here.
