Advanced Member Pavel (pzdm) Zoch Posted April 4, 2008 Advanced Member Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hello Andrew is there any chance to set some picture as a reference in higher resolution? Or to some "picture view" window, or something like this. It could be very usefull if I don´t use two monitors... Cheers Pavel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member Pavel (pzdm) Zoch Posted April 5, 2008 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Please explain... What is a picture as a reference? How it differs from materials and image mode in palette? Hello it is same as standard painting, you have an original object and your canvas, nothing special. Yes, your "projection material system" is simply amazing, but it is not same. I use sometimes a simple photo side by side my editor window - an original of my own work.... For a reference... That's all what I need :-) Cheers Pavel PS: maybe I'm wrong, but: Is picture in window in color picker allways stratched? Is there a chance to zoom this picture? and adjust a size of this?

Advanced Member yukon_28 Posted April 6, 2008 Advanced Member Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 When 3DC will get option for loading multiply objects into scene this task will be easy, you'll need simply to put your reference as difuse texture on primitive plane. I think the only thing you can add to it is possibility to make geometry plane in size and aspect ratio of user chosen bitmap, then making plane with reference on it will be just 2 mouse clicks away.

philnolan3d Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 You may want to just look into IrFanView. It's a free image viewer that has a lot of other features too, like simple editing. I often use it and set it to "always on top" so that I can see it while I work. http://irfanview.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member polyxo Posted April 16, 2008 Advanced Member Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I would also be very interested in having the option to show images in the viewport, serving as visual references only. In addition I wished to have a quad viewport layout (eg. Top/Front/Right/Perspective)available. The idea is to have matching reference- images placed in each of these windows and to use them as orientation when creating a new object from a crude basemesh, using the sculpt tools. Maybe these images could be added as special layers which could be turned on and off. Image viewers would not help at that point. As I'd be interested to use 3DC for the conceptual stages of product design I'd apreciate every addition which allows for working with greater precision. Like for instance snapping to the grid or working in symmetry with objects which cross the symmetry axis - both does not seem possible right now, but I could be wrong. Greetings, Holger Here you can see a shoe, which has entirely been created in Mudbox. I found it interesting to use such HiRes mesh-objects (created in 3DC) as 3D references in technical programs in order to recreate and refine the concept with Nurbs-based tools. <a href="http://www.mudbox3d.com/gallery/pages/Tibor_shoe.html" target="_blank">http://www.mudbox3d.com/gallery/pages/Tibor_shoe.html</a> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
