It's alive, but not for long!!
summary
Bizarre Barber is a VR haircutting game built with a procedural pipeline using Houdini VEX and Python to auto-export characters to the engine; the initial plan to generate thousands of characters yields less than one percent usable results and curation skews everything toward sameness. The pipeline evolves into mouse-editable generation, community presets and MIDI-controlled real-time generation, producing roughly about 200 characters, each made in 3–4 minutes and materially improving variety and playability.
