Is there a way to use part of one package and a different part of another package. For example, i want to use the beard from one beard package while using parts of another beard package but not all of the parts. Currently i am being forced to use all of one or none. I want a mixture of both, keep some, delete other parts. Is this impossible?
Hi…
It all depends on the package you are using. For example, our own Smart Hair packs enable mixing and matching so you can say add a moustache and then add one of several different beard types to go with it.
However, if the package is not part of the Smart Hair system, then normally one beard will simply overwrite the current one. You can get around this by using the beard parts as Accessories which can then be placed and positioned as you wish.
So, i would select a beard part and then use the “Convert to accessory” and then choose “Bake current shape”?
Yes.
Once it an accessory baked to fit your current character, you can also then convert it to Smart Hair. See here:

Got it. Thanks.
