Been using PureRef for a while so stumbling across this for Blender is very handy for me. Doesn't work exactly the same as PureRef (can't just copy/paste images from clipboard or grab them directly, need to do extra steps beforehand) and also wish the images scaled with the 3d viewport (resizing it can cause images to be hidden from view). Aside from that, it gets the job done.

Very useful but it shows the image in every window, can't it be deactivated and activated only in specific windows?

For me, in Blender 4.3.2 and 4.4.3 it not works! It not load any image in the viewport! How it can be possible?

Thanks for giving feedback. The reference overlays toggle is turned off by default. Ensure that the reference overlays toggle is turned on.

It looks like an amazing add on but I must be completely out because I've been trying to use it for so long, I can import things in the UI but I can't figure out how to get the images to show up in the workspace!! Is there any tutorial on how to make it work from scratch? :) I have no idea why it does not work for me even tho everything looks like it should! Thank you so much!

Thanks for using this addon. Clicking the icon toggles all reference overlays in the 3D Viewport. The drop-down button displays a popover with more detailed settings.

Perfect Add-on. Thank You.

Would love a Shortcut Keymap option or a way to add the overlay toggle to the quick menu.

Thanks for using this addon. Version 1.1.2 has now added a shortcut for the overlays toggle.

Awesome addon! It would be cool to also see .webm format supported for video referencing as well. Keep up the great work!
