Having trouble loading in the side image of the character. First loaded the face image (Headshot). Did some shaping but wanted to check how it looked from side view so I attempted to load a side view of my character and it refused to accept it. Said it didn't recognize a face. Well, that is because its not a face but a side view. I seem to be missing a step. The tutorials I've been watching make it look easy to switch between the two but they do it so fast I cant see what or how they are doing it.
Character Creator 3 with the Headshot plugin.

You will need to load a separate image plane for the side view. Note that you get no texture input to your model. It's pure;y as a sculpting reference.

Thank you, Rampa. That tutorial helps so I will see if I can put it into action. I'll probably watch it a few more times.

I watched that video..and all he does is drag the image over the character...
In CC 3.41 and using Headshot Pro...It the "No You Can't" icon on a dragged-image...there is nowhere I have found to add a new image plane!

As clearly explained in excellent English during the video you need to use the right mouse button to drag the image into Character Creator and select "Image Layer" from the menu box when you release the image. The speaker also clearly explains the differences between using Planes and Image Layers to accomplish the tasks.

This is SO unintuitive. Even though I heard him clearly saying that, I suspected it was some weird, personal setting of his. I grew up on Windows, so can't speak for the rest of us, but for me at least, the only time you right click on anything, it's *not* because you want to drag and drop it elsewhere...

It would appear from your comments that while you may be growing up with Windows, you haven't yet matured.

There is no "weird personal" anything in what was demonstrated. This has been standard procedure in both Character Creator and iClone for years. Selecting an image file using the right mouse button and dragging it into the scene will present the user with a number of options regarding how the image is applied.

All of this is explained in the user manuals.

In fact, dragging and right clicking for additional options is a Windows function not limited to just RL software...

I found this all immensely useful!  Thanks!

Right-clicking for options is a universal Windows standard.
Right-dragging is not, so calling it bizarre is closer to the truth.
