It really depends on your game, the engine and how much of the tech budget you have available. If you are a Maya user you might want to check out Geo To Maya Hair Maya2: http://www.thundercloud-studio.com/shops/gmh2/

Aside from the cards and planes techiques you can check out some of these tools:
Nvidia hairworks: https://developer.nvidia.com/content/hairworks-11-release
NeoFur: http://www.neoglyphic.com/neofur

For the beard they used cards, probably with object painting where you place a library of meshes on the surface of another by painting over the surface.

Object Paint in 3dsmax

Since we're on the topic, has anyone here used GMH2? Any opinions on it?

DavidCruz

hicham , cool thanks for acknowledgement anyway good luck.

Throttlekitty, I think fantasymaster used gmh2 at least looks like it to me with the spiral hairs in his beast entry:

Perhaps pm him, i don't know of anyone else that has used it, tbh if i had maya i would be all over this, the 2015 guide takes a bit of time to get going and if this plug shortens the process all together it is a very useful app to have.  Would love a thread of it if anyone that has comes across this and wants to add their opinions.
