Reader, I forgot to mention something last week...

โ€‹When I was talking about how important references are, I didn't tell you how I am LOOKING at my refs: PureRef!โ€‹

This seems like a blunt advertisement for that software, but unfortunately they don't have an affiliate program, so it's just me giving you a tip here ๐Ÿ˜‰

โ€‹With PureRef you can have your reference(s) always stay on top of the screen, change the image size, change the position and everything you need so it doesn't get in your way while working on your models and shaders. Simple, easy, fast. Nothing more to say!

Mindfulness quote of the week

โ€œ
Remember the blue sky. It may at times be obscured by clouds, but it is always there.
โ€” Andy Puddicombe

This quote funnily reminded me about my mail about the importance of using references. To us, knowing that there is always a blue sky behind the clouds, is an important thing that we can hold on to, to calm our minds. For us 3D Artists, just remembering how the blue sky looked like is not enough ๐Ÿ˜‡ We HAVE to know how it looks like so we can replicate it as close as possible.

โ€‹

That's it for this week - a short and simple tip. Hope it helped. Reader, let me know if there are any other tools you know and like when it comes to using references.

โ€‹

I appreciate you. Have a fantastic day!

Warm Regards,

Manuel

PS: Just realized that I dated my email last about references wrongly...apparently it was March last week ๐Ÿ˜…
