Acadia, if you want to make a mix of a true mat and a texture, you can create a 512x512 (of actually any like size) seamless tile of a fur pattern in PSP, then, in Poser matroom, put it into Image_map node connected to diffuse color in the poser surface, adjust the U and V_Scale to you liking (so that the pattern is not too big or too small on the actual model). Then add some Noise to Bump or Displacement and voila! Instant fur! ^_^ The texture you create in PSP is for the actual color of the fur, and the noise node is for, err, furriness :)
