3D Face - Part Three: Setting up Reference Planes

Once the topology had been determined, the image needed to be imported into 3DS Max so that it could be used as a reference. To do this, I created two Planes inside of 3DS Max, and added the image to them as a material.

A UVW Map modifier was then applied to the plane, granting access to the Bitmap Fit tool. This allows the material to be mapped at the same size as a specified image. The gizmo for this tool can be moved around, allowing me to map the left half of the image to one plane, and the right half to another.
