Realistic 3D beard model for our 3D head model

This is what Singular Inversions Inc was looking for in their 3D design

We need at least one beard model to fit our base head (see uploaded file). Our goals:
* Realism when rendered with texture image.
* Under 1000 polys.

We expect that the best approach is the "fins and shells" geometry with transparency-mapped texture images, where these texture images are made from photos of a real beard with a transparency channel added with a soft-select tool.

We only want diffuse color maps with transparency, no other maps (bump, shiny, etc).

Any style or color of beard is OK. We ultimately want to collect a variety.

The deliverable should be a wavefront .OBJ file containing the geometry (and UVs) which fits our base head and a .PNG texture image.

To evaluate your submission, we'll need to see the beard on the head rendered to high resolution from several different angles. We'll also need to see a render of the beard geometry with wireframe and without any texture.
