Addon Description for Blender Market

Upgrade your creative process with the Reference Image Addon—your essential solution for viewing, switching, and organizing reference images right inside Blender!

• Instantly load and view multiple reference images with a dedicated sidebar panel. Quickly switch between images using intuitive hotkeys: hold "5" to instantly transform the Outliner into an image reference viewer, and cycle images using "4" and "6" for fast comparison and iteration.

• Effortlessly add new reference images from your computer and clear unused ones—all managed from a sleek UI in the 3D view sidebar. Names, icons, and image lists keep everything organized for projects of any size.
• Tailored for artists, designers, and modelers, this addon speeds up workflows in character creation, architectural visualization, asset design, and more.

Whether working with concept sketches, orthographic views, or detailed blueprints, the Reference Image Addon makes switching and organizing images simple and powerful. Stop window-switching—make Blender your all-in-one reference hub.
