My version of Mason.
I just wish Headshot plugin had a profile view match, otherwise *sculpting* it is very time consuming.
Also CC suffers the same problems as iClone. Frequent swap of texture causes CC to freeze (I have added a note at FT 6100)

Great minds think alike.  This has been on my mind since the day Headshot was released.  I actually started working on this yesterday, but got interrupted.  What timing, eh?

Thank you Dennis for taking time and writing an extended FT entry. I agree with everything you have outlined. The only feature I would add is an automated profile match.
I believe it's doable though it might take some effort to develop.

h) Profile match should have a drop down selector which would include a *Full Profile* match option as well as individual face features such as Scalp, Forehead,  Jaws... etc,
so that user can select which individual part of the face needs to be sculpted for the match. This should be accumulative. If possible, include *inner* profile options such as eyes, ears.
Profile match should NOT in any way alter the texture, nor should it affect the frontal face sculpt. It should work exactly as those Depth sliders do.

Let me just hope that RL would continue maintaining and adding features to this great plug-in and it would not be abandoned as some other in the past.

You're welcome.  (I have an overdue Iray Issue to finish writing too.)

I agree about expanding the "automated" capabilities to take into account a profile image, but I wanted to keep this initial suggestion in the "easy" category.  Call it "Step 1" of the master plan.... Bwah ha h ha...

Meanwhile, something occurred to me, so I added another detail to my own Suggestion (Issue #6512).
It's something RL should think of on their own, but it was easy to point it out.

One more detail:

The “Left” and “Right” options should be grayed out until after a profile image has been selected.
The “File Navigator” icon should be active, but the corresponding word and check box should be gray if you have not loaded a profile image yet.

See picture, attached.

Hey
HEY
HEY!

This is a Headshot Gallery...not a brainstorming-session gallery.
Keep that fiddly side-head improvement strategy talk OUT OF THIS THREAD.

This is ONLY for images made by people using the INCOMPLETE Headshot, you know, without the side-head features you discussed.  
So LET'S KEEP IT THAT WAY....EH?
EH!!!?  :angry:

I kind of agree with Tony.
Thanks Dennis and Gurgen for those precious feedback, you can continue to exchange ideas in other thread. :)
