I'm not sure what textures are supplied with Big Cat 2, so unsure on how to best set this up. As a wild guess I'd say to increase the bump (assuming they have a bump map) and tweak the specular and roughness to get the right fur sheen.

Perhaps someone else who has used these figures could comment.

The Octane LiveDB contains a material called "Fur" and one called "tonysculptor Hair", both in the Misc folder.
Maybe they could be a good starting point.

what i going to try and do for you make sum custom fur for you. as OBJ. Panthers for DAZ Big Cat what pose did you use for the Panther

is it ready made one or custom? if ready made can you tell me witch one you used please as make sure it fits right
Before I start as it will take me quite a few hours to do this I want to make sure you know that this will be extremely memory intensive.
As for is not an easy thing to pull off.

here quick test file
