Reference image 3d modeling technique is to help modelers speed up their modeling process by ‘drawing’ over their reference images or designs accurately. With just 5 to 10 minutes to insert a reference image before starting to model a 3D object, you speeds up your production by 5 times or more!

Image plane method is available with Maya. However, I created this video for artists who are using other 3D softwares to be able to learn this method too.

Hey, guys I'm a 3d modeling student and I'm in need of help at the moment I am 6 months away from graduating but my school has put a hold on my account and I have to pay it before I can enroll and finish my program. Please read my story at https://www.gofundme.com/chrisgoestoschool
Is there a way to Bend images in maya?
3D software revolves around shift, alt and control (command for Mac)key. What function are you trying to achieve with the shift key? I can help u look for the short cut.
Shift doesn't work to me, how can I edit the shortcuts on Maya?
Hi Ebonrook, thank you very much for your comment! I'm working on the video tutorial that covers modeling the chest plate piece of iron man. I really hope it will be out very soon in the next few weeks!
It is very helpful, but I would of liked it if you carried on and showed us how you made it the shape of the side view. Then you say you have to extrude the shape but I have no idea how to do that yet either lol. Otherwise it's a great vid.
Helpful, thanks
Thanks for the video, it really helped me. But can you help with the modeling in front view. can u upload a video which illustrates modeling exclusively. better use the same iron man example 🙂
just get to the modelling already
Really glad that it helps!
Thank you so much, I was struggling with the controls and then I was struggling to make good models fast, this helped me overcome the second obstacle.
Hi thank you for questions. Yes Maya reference image is available and it's an option too. However, I use this method mainly because I can view and visualize my model when I am in perspective view. This could be my personal preference and a more straight forward WYSIWYG referencing. I know for sure my scaling for modeling is 1:1 ratio, which makes it easier for me to compare my model with my reference. Hope that answer your queries! 🙂
Can I use paint
why don't you just use the image plane feature built in maya? it's way easier to manage
