Blender Tutorial - Modeling with Reference image in UV Image Editor

[greenseggsandsalad]

you say you have a previous tutorial but this is the first in the playlist. Where do start from? :(

[vscorpianc]

@greenseggsandsalad I did a couple on the interface and basic commands for complete beginners, there's one on importing both bg image and image plane, others on head modeling, adding to that and other's on face modeling. If you are new to Blender I'd start with learning how to use some of the basic tools, manipulator, cursor commands etc and go at your own pace. HTH

were do i save the image export it in blender

[vscorpianc]

@datnigga437 Not sure but are you asking where to save before you open it in Blender? If so anywhere you like, just remember the directory and file. HTH

@vscorpianc where do i save the image to export it to blender

[tigerstripes992]

How can I put the image between the left and the right or right and front? instead of just putting 3 images front, back, left/right, How can the image in 3/4 view?

[vscorpianc]

@tigerstripes992 You can have as many windows and views as you like, in the top right corner of window L-Click and drag to open new windows. So, if you have 3 windows you can have 1 for front, 1 for back, 1 for side view. You set the window type with the View All button in (N) Properties Panel under B.G. tab. but you would need to set up each image or line it up. HTH ;))

ok i did all of the first steps on adding image but i still dont see the picture it wont show up i dont know why i need help

[vscorpianc]

@Maximk06 Are you in Ortho view? You have to be in that not Persp view, press 5 on you keypad to toggle to Ortho view, look in the upper right corner of window to check. HTH :)

[vscorpianc]

@Maximk06 Sorry, that's look in upper left corner of work window to see if you are in Ortho or Persp view.

[vscorpianc]

@Maximk06 You need to be in Orthographic view to see a 2d image, and in front, top or side view - to get to ortho view it's 5 on the number keypad...sorry I missed this comment :)

[smallboatproductions]

[vscorpianc]

@smallboatproductions Import in the UV Image Editor, and make sure you are in Ortho view by pressing 5 on keypad, HTH :)

[vscorpianc]

@smallboatproductions 5 on keyboard for orthographic view, and make sure you are in either front, side or top view...
