Importing Image window view - Polyloop

DeeDee · 2nd October 2008, 22:16

Hi all,

Can someone please tell me how I can do this and what modeling apps are suitable at the moment I've been looking at hexagon. I am new to modeling and I don't know the correct term to use, however this is what I would like to do.

I want to upload an image to a modeling app so that I can see a front and side view of my sketch as a base to work from. Similar to this http://www.vimeo.com/1048354

Many thanks

Hey DeeDee
welcome to the world of 3D
Most any 3D modeler will do reference images.
Hex lets you put a reference image on all 3 planes (X,Y,Z)

Here is some Hexagon stuff

you can also put a reference image on a plane, and model that way
