Here's what I do to use the Mil Beard. 1. Load Michael (figure 1) 2. Add the Mil Beard as a new character (figure 2) 3. Conform the Mil Beard to the Michael character 4. In the Mil Beard poses, change the color if you don't want the default brown using one of the ALL Color poses (yellow). 5. Select one of the Mil Beard style poses and render. The Mil Bear Style poses include the Bump Map (texturing).jpg and Transparency turned on so you don't need to use the MAP ON or ALL TRANSPARENT Poses. If you do select the ALL TRANSPARENT pose, you'll need to reapply a beard style before rendering. It really does what the name of the pose says, makes the beard transparent when rendering. If you didn't notice already, if you change Michael's face with the morphing dials, you'll need to do the same for the Mil Beard figure since Poser views it as a "character". The easiest way to match the Mil Beard to the the face is to do all facial posing without the Mil Beard, save the face pose to the Faces library, add the Mil Beard, conform, color, style, then apply the saved face pose to the Mil Beard figure.
