Reference Images

Neyghey

Hi, i'm completely new to the app, have watched all your Videos on YT and dug through the forum a bit, still having Problems with reference Images though...: I saw the Video by JavierEdo where he uses a (subdivided) Plane as reference. ( ) problem is that i can't get this plane (or the sculpting mesh) half transparent, so that i can see it over my object. the Video ends with the cats face obscured by the Sphere.

Also: is there a way to rotate the plane for exactly 90 or 180 degree on a specific axis?

Also: is there a way to snap the camera (view) to top/front/side view?

Thanks, Ney

Hi there, apologies for the delay, it took a bit longer than expected to get the video uploaded.

This should allow you to add references, and it shows how transparency can be used for them:

Imageplanes are parented to cameras so they are used in a slightly different way, but this workflow is superior to "textured planes" in an upcoming version camera creation should be easier than it is at the moment (it's hidden and it only works via Alembic camera import).

You can snap the camera to the nearest 90-degree angle/direction by pressing the Smooth shortcut as you orbit close to them.

There isn't a way to rotate exactly a certain amount of degrees, there used to be a way for 90 degrees but the snap wasn't quite right and I preferred removing it until it was right, this will be added back in an upcoming version too 😉

Hey Javier, Great Support, Thanks 😀 And great App too for a Beginner like me, once you get to know it a bit
