How Do You Attach Fur To Only Certain Faces Of A Mesh?

[mostlyhuman]

Is there a way to attach a fur descriptor to just certain faces of a mesh or does it have to be applied to the whole thing? Im working with a character that is textured in a way that makes it not possible to do it the traditional way. I am hoping to apply seperate fur descriptors to each poly group and then control it with the individual mapping for each group.

Can this be done?

Thanks in advance for any help!!

well if you can't use a baldness map then you'd have to create seperate objects
