Yes, that should work, and maybe it does for some people. Maybe it's a different version, wasn't there an update to the M3 MilBeard? I bought mine only a month ago. But I wound up with big ugly dark patches all over when I tried fitting it to my Jinn character. Had to go with a bearded texture instead, fortunately I had one in the style I needed. (Thanks, Jepe!) And I was using Poser at the time, I dread to even imagine what it would look like in DS.
