Hair styles only apply to creatures with hair. The DNA determines the presence and length of hair on all parts of the body. The hair style can shave or cut/shape that hair however it wants but it can't make it longer (no hair extensions in the far future I guess).
I don't know that hair styles will have any effect at all on feathered or scaly creatures. Feathers and scales are too rigid for that.

2019-10-02 Update
The first go in the "real" universe using a gen4 avatar had some embarrassing problems. This update fixes those.
Shaders
Shaders were created for gen4 animals to render in the various environments of Shores of Hazeron.
An ambient lighting bug was fixed that caused gen4 animals to be lit incorrectly.
Spherical ambient lighting model was tweaked a bit to improve contrast. This change affects many things, not just animals.
Hair
A bug was fixed that caused hair and transparent visor parts to be invisible on gen4 creatures in your scene, other than your own avatar, whose hair looked fine.
Fixed hair and visor to be invisible when the avatar is an invisible agent. The disembodied hair looked strange walking around.
Hair and shave styles are no longer lost when an agent teleports with a gen4 avatar.

The male in every one of those pictures is Haxus. The only differences are hair style and clothing.
Haxus and Geniv are the default human DNA atm.
I’ll give him a touch of grey when the DNA editor is hooked up, and maybe a little more tan than L’Oreal A1.

As much as I don't have much room to talk after spending all my time lurking on the forums, these new creatures are pret-ty neat. Focusing on a simplified look has really paid off. I especially like the semi-futuristic digital camouflage on Troop2 and Troop3.
Although it might look better if eyes were simply beady dots and didn't have the strange disc representing their sockets.. :D
Nice work overall. Interested to see how the nonhumans look. Say, you could do a pretty good Homer Simpson race with the mouths..

Interested to see all the potential customization options, wondering about the ability to place protrusions for things like horns or tusks, or spines like a stegosaurus (along with dimorphism, etc).
If hair growth is modifiable (cuttable/shortenable), could potentially have modifiable protrusions as well. Really interested if could do a "generate within species" option that randomly modifies haircuts and randomizes possible variants within an acceptable range.

I'd like to see extreme sexual dimorphism in some species.
just imagine, a race where the men are human-like and the women are spider-centaurs

Tbh graphic-wise u were on the right path regarding the new avatars at your first attempt
BUT
on the other hand, and this is way more important, is your flexibility.
If you apply that flexibility to the whole game, hazeron can indeed become very big.
Also, like that u r now finally open to hire additional support.
So in total: even though i still dont like the "looks", i am more concerned about the substance of the game, so ib that regard, thumbs up.
