This video tutorial will show you how you can set up a reference image in blender 2.9. I focus myself on blender beginners and low poly models. Add the correct reference background and start your blender model.

Great video! I am using Blender (or a program of its kind) for the very first time. I don't know the hotkeys yet, but once I get them down this video will be great! Thanks for putting it out there and in such a brief video; there's nothing worse than watching a 20 min video and gaining nothing from that watch. This is giving me a great foundation!!!

Do you know if 2.93 changed something regarding the reference images? Because I added an image just like you did, but when turning on X-Ray I can't see the image through the mesh.

@BuvesaGameDevelopment 2 жыл бұрын

Not that i'm aware off. Make sure you are in front view (numpad 1), have the reference image behind your mesh, select your mesh, go to edit mode & then select x-ray mode (alt + z). Hopefully it should work then :)

You can add extra loopcuts to the model in edit mode (ctrl + r) and edge it out that way ;)

@frostygear9239 2 жыл бұрын

@@BuvesaGameDevelopment well I was able to make my blades edge pretty easily combining the Ctrl R method adding vestices and then collapsing them at specific points so the mesh is done to my liking. Do you personally add textures in Blender as well or do you export to another program?
