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...:blink:

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

Dragging with Right mouse button is a universal Windows standard.
Left Mouse + Drag results in execution of a default action built into the app.
Right Mouse + Drag results in a prompt to select the desired action before the execution. So this must be used to get a selection in the context menu.
Try it some time in Windows Explorer.

Well if you insist on being picky, so be it...:unsure:
I use this procedure to have options when I DRAG a file from Windows File Explorer while RIGHT-CLICKING as this gives me a number of useful options: MOVE (which is the same as DRAG-LEFT-CLICKING), COPY, CREATE SHORTCUT, etc.
You should try it sometimes and perhaps learn something.

I am trying to use headshot for cc4 and I am unable to locate the Headshot Ref folder.
I know where it is in CC3 on my system but I am unable to get CC4 to show it under the camera directory inside the program. :/
Is there a different way to use the side ref?

The folder is still under Camera in CC4.

I have reinstalled and that folder is not there

I fought with this today as well. The trick is you need to drag the photo with the right mouse button very quick, slow doesnt work at all , at least not on my PC.
You must release the mouse button immediatly after you reached the target, a few milliseconds later and it wont work :-o
