Organizing Reference Materials

Question Modeling

I’m beginning to work on the final project for Core Mesh Modeling. Now I’m swimming in images of lamps and chairs and headboards and and and and. You get the picture (pun intended). 

I seem to remember Jonathan L mentioning an app for organizing images etc. Any idea what that was? Or, what do you use, if anything? Thanks.

    PureRef is the one that most people use. Like Blender it's available on Linux, Mac and Windows.

    Yeah PureRef is the one everyone uses. Old school people used to make a collage in Photoshop and upload the resulting image in the Image Editor in Blender.

    I guess I'm old school, because I use gimp and load into blender. 🤠

    PureRef is great, especially for its ability to set it up so it stays on-top of what you're currently working on. I like to open up a text editor workspace in blender (something that doesn't require blender to use much performance) and confine PureRef to fit into it. 

    If you do use PureRef I'd highly recommend watching a tutorial on how to use it's shortcuts and features because it's much more impressive than it looks!

    It would be brilliant if there was a way to open PureRef within blender as opposed to running multiple software at once. Or if blender had a "inspiration board" workspace built into it
