The mission was simple- a ball with a face. It turned into a snowman.
This mission was simple- a ball with hair…
But what else has hair I wonder…
Beeker does…
Beeker with a mustache. Just to complete the lesson.

- Beeker
Constructing Beeker:
Beeker is a tube and a few balls. The shirt was easy once I figured out what I should do. The coat I would do another way were I to attempt it again. I used a UV Sphere and sculpted it- rather I should have used some squares and another shape to block out the coat rather than pull and sculpt. More work than needed.
The shirt texture was a simple slap on surface method. Results are almost there, but if you look closely at his side shots, you will see that that the box pattern breaks on that side.

When you are in Particle Edit mode:
Go to “Options” on the other side of the viewport, below the shading options. Once you have clicked on it search for “Viewport Display” and click on “Children”.
Perhaps this feature was not available in earlier versions of Blender, hence why Rick said there was none?

Be Warned: In some cases it might slow down your computer.
