This example demonstrates how to add groomable splines to a character's face to create a short beard.
  
 It shows you how to do the following: 
	 
- Create a new Description for groomable splines. 
		
- Use the grooming brushes to set length and shape of groomable splines. 
		
- Preview and edit the default spline version of your groom. 
		
- Color the default splines.
