Hi there, up to a certain point this all looks quite promising to me. What's bothering me judging from the posts is that there's obviously no way to load an image in any viewport to model from (as there is in any 3D prog I know including C4D, LW and HASH). This seemingly minor lack however is a serious drawback when doing lifelike portraits or any kind of exact models. If Carrara doesn't head at Character modelling and animation but just tries to equip web designers and hobbyists with a fun prog (similar to GOO which wasn't intended to replace ELASTIC REALITY ;-) this is quite OK. But serious (exact)character modelling can't be done without this feature IMHO. Is there any workaround possible in terms of mapping a front view of a portrait on a plane and loading it in the front view, mapping a side view of a portrait on a plane and loading it in the right/ left view etc.? Thanx in advance for any information in this respect Regards Janho
