I'm on a Greek Mythology kick now, and I'd love to have an appropriate costume for Heracles.... the skin of the Nemean Lion, which he wore as a kind of cloak. This is beyond my primitive modelling skills, and is likely to remain so for quite some time. I'm just wishin', that's all.

I've seen some lion-like skins used as rugs in some kits as 'DAZ King Chamber' or Guineve's Bower.

Another usefull one can be the trapper kit  2 by faveral (found here in Renderosity):

It has segments wich can be bend/twist/rolled.

You could also use transparency maps to simulate it in, for example, the DAZ morphing cloak.

Good luck.

Working on something like this now actually LOL, for a graphic strip I am going to make.  It is modeled around James though, and uses the DazBig Cat as a template(modeled around it) for the head though so I really can't distribute it.  but have you tried to alter teh big cat from Daz to suit?

Would it be possible to do something with the Poser Lion and the Cloth Room? Just a thought of my head, no idea how well it would work, but I might give it a try later... :)

I'll try the Big Cat and the cloth room, that sounds pretty cool. On a side note, wonder where I can get a really curly set of hair and a beard?

Thanks, everybody, these are some really great ideas!

Again DAZ provides at least two curly hair (don't remember the names, but it's easy to find them) for female characters but can be easily used on M3. There are also two set of beards, the oldest is some kind of long beard and the newest is a morphing beard with lots of morphs.
