Basic modeling procedure question.

Okay, I am sure this is obvious to those more experienced...but...

Is using some kind of photographic/drawn reference image imported into MOI one way to quicken modeling workflow?

And kudos x 1M to the developer. In the 10 or so minutes between this and my last "newbie question" post I actually learned most, if not all, of how the program works. It's that frickin' easy to learn...

Thank you for any input!

Take a look at this post (2 last links) http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=510.2 (not my Gallery of course :D

Draw from an "image" or a "photo" is always something hard because you can zoom the image!
So rounding of original form on the photo is not "precise" :)
Best is use Blueprints like this one :)

depend that you want of course :)

Hi angliclight, thanks, I'm glad that it is working well for you!

Yeah, it can be a big help if you already have some sketches or plans of some sort of the thing you're trying to build.

Sometimes you can use them as a background for tracing curves. Sometimes they can just be a general guide to help you with proportions of where to place objects.

Let's see - there is a bit of info about how to use background images here: http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=325.1
