PART  I
ACHIEVING A BRYCE BUMP  FROM A 2D POSER TEXTURE MAP

STEP ONE

SET THE BRYCE SCENE
Using the fantastic Poser 4 cat with the "9Lives Cat Morphs" courtesy of Beth at The Capsces Gallery
 Note that when you modify the shape of the cat's body for a raccoon (or any other critter, like my possums) the model body
will shatter and bulge in odd ways. Don't be concerned - the fur will conceal those problems! Also, don't
expect to get the cat model's body shape perfect for the critter you want...again, the post render fur will take care of that.
HINT: keep the scene simple, with smooth, rather plain backgrounds! You will be brushing the fur out, and in effect
smearing the background around the animal, too! The plainer the background, the less "clean up" and repair to it, later!

STEP TWO

ASSIGN THE POSER TEXTURE MAP
Select the raccoon; click on the tiny M to go into the Material's Editor.

STEP THREE

MATERIALS LAB (EDITOR) I
Set the Ambience to '0'. Be sure to put a marble into the A column by Diffuse.
Click on the tiny 'P' for pictures, and then go into the Texture Source Editor by clicking the pink button. (arrow)
Note: on the last page is the photo I used to create the raccoon fur map tiff.
