Free visual references
Target is to collect decent websites for visual references.
Categories:
1. 3D
2. 2D
3. Video
Here some links to start with
1. a) very hot: https://sketchfab.com
Not super detailed, but there is everything in your webbrowser, from dragon to robot to houses. Use free „peak through“
http://www.lukepaynesoftware.com/projects/peek-through/
program to make any window transparent and you can place the model exactly like you want - screenshot - done.
Scaling in verve would be lovely, but one can do the image brush dance.
1. b) blender & Manuel Bastioni LAB
http://www.manuelbastioni.com/manuellab.php
Google it. Manual Bastioni is one person behind „make human“
It still has some strange porpotions, but you can change anything inside blender.
Needs a bit learning.
1. c) „make human“
Haven‘t looked there for a very long time - man! they made big progress.
http://www.makehuman.org
2. a) Deviantart / it‘s amazing how much people offer pictures for reference. From nude to massive vintage clothings, animals everything. Watch their rules. Some don‘t wanna be copied. But nowadays you can win an Oscar with a 100% copied idea.
2.b) Pinterest - even though I hate this permanent log in duty, there are so many alteady pre collections to watch!
Resolution is not good and path to original is sticky and not this millenium.
So much more for later.
3. a) croquis cafe

Best to download it
3. b) Life drawing
