…The first thing we're going to do is load…templates into our front and side view ports.…Templates are a great tool for modelers, because they act as…a road map for the proportion and the design of your character.…Without a template, you can end up going off on a modeling tangent and…not really stay true to the design of the character that you've drawn out.…So to load these templates, it's a pretty straight forward process.…We're just going to go into our…front view port, select Options > Configure.…And with the back tab selected, we're going…to select image and load our front template.…
And once we've got that front template loaded, we're going to…go back into our side, or our right view port.…And repeat the same process.…And now that we've got these two templates loaded, what I…want to do is check to be sure that they actually are aligned.…Because if you have misaligned templates, you can end up with some really odd…results while you're modeling and the template's…not really going to benefit you in any way.…
