I see the tiny comparison chart of the three editions of CTA2, and it looks like one important difference between CTA2 Pro and Pipeline is "multi-dimension 2D characters" in Pro, versus "custom multi-dimension characters" in Pipeline. I have no clue what this means, but I suspect it's important. I bought CTA1 just a few short months ago, so it appears CTA1 will be little more than a stepping stone for me, but ... to what?

Here's what I want to do: create a character from two different front-facing JPG photos, one for the body, one for the head. I know how to fit them for animation in CTA1. Can CTA2 (Pro or Pipeline) automatically create all angles (front, sides, back, etc.) somehow? How does it do that? For example, what will the back of the head look like? And will I need Pipeline for this?

PLEASE answer the above, and clarify the benefit of Pipeline for 2D character creation. By "multi-dimension" I assume you mean front, sides, back ... all 8 angles, turning 45 degrees at a time. Is that right? So, what is "multi-dimension 2D" versus "custom" multi-dimension?

I am ready to fork over some more money, but I need a better understanding of what I'll get!
