How difficult would it be to add some crazy styles to it? namely this one.
Thank you. I'm glad people like it!

I haven't created any beards in a while so I'd have to get back into it. I still have the original files thankfully after a hard drive croaked (I just checked). The issue is that the beard graphics are somewhat distorted when FaceGen pastes them on the 3D model. That, and not all faces are the same shape. So it's an iterative process of drawing the beard shape and then seeing how it gets distorted on a particular face and then going back to modify it and try again. Then you have to transfer that beard shape to all 5 hair colors. When I was in the groove, it probably took about 20 minutes per beard. Probably double that for something detailed like this.

If I get back into making beards, I'll keep this guy in mind (although it's going to be tough to keep him out of my nightmares).
