Hi...

In the real world and with scanned head meshes, facial features are never symmetrical so a mirror feature would not work in most cases. You do have the Auto Detection feature of Headshot 2.0 which can automatically place the 24 points which can be a time saver for general placement. However, to get the best results you need to spend time placing the alignment points manually for both left and right side facial features as they will rarely be the same.

I'm sorry if this has been answered already, but is there any way to have the act of placing pins assume symmetry? It's tedious and problematic to need to try and match the pins exactly the same on both sides. I know I can just edit the mesh to mirror one side to the other, but not being able to do that before the maps are baked by headshot means I then also have to edit the maps, which often leaves seams and artifacts to patch.

If not, maybe this could be a feature added eventually? 
Thanks!

that no one knows why, after installing headshot 2 in the viewport, it is very slow(5-10fps)? a laptop with Windows 11? 32 GB of RAM ,3070 mobile?

I tried "Headshot 2". It's good, but I was surprised that there is no symmetry feature when doing point alignment. Have you forgotten the point alignment feature or will you add it soon?

The main selling point of Headshot 1 is the quick and the easy creation of characters from a just single photo. Once you add in a profile image the process becomes a lot more complex and prone to errors. We found this with CrazyTalk which offered a similar front and side photo creation process but was very prone to problems, especially if the front and side photos did not match perfectly.

So it's not to say that side profile images won't ever be supported, but if it is to be supported then I think the process must work well enough to maintain the USP of Headshot which is getting great results while being quick and easy to use for everyone.

Finally purchased HS2. Had big trouble ( confusion and errors ) . HS1 and HS2 both can exist in the same install (CC4.31)
but using HS1 does not work properly anymore. I would suggest anyone using HS2, to uninstall HS1 or at least
not touching it at all.

Discovered on first a HS2 look a few new things like more masking options which were quite impressing.
Though one bug was carried over to HS2 ( https://www.reallusion.com/FeedBackTracker/Issue/Shift-Q-not-working-as-expected)

Hi, Headshot 2 is a plugin for CC4. You have to open CC4 and find headshot2 at the list of your plugins





     

A quick question... I just purchased Headshot 2 and can't for the life of me figure out how to install it. I can download it from my account page, but where should it go so content can find it? Also my Reallusion Hub seems to be broken. I get a blank page that just beachballs...

But why? I really don't understand this. The lack of side photo support is what it suffered from all the time.
I simply don't get it.
