This handy script helps you simplify modeling and projection tasks by locking reference images directly to your camera view.
It places an image in the foreground, between the camera and your scene, acting as a transparent overlay to guide your work.
Whether you’re modeling objects, aligning scenes for video mapping, or working on architectural layouts, this tool ensures smooth and accurate workflows.
1. Drag the script to a viewport.
2. Go to Customize > Customize user interface > Toolbars > Category: Spline Dynamics – free scripts.
3. Drag the script’s name to a toolbar.
Additional Information :
Adds a modifier to the selected camera with special controls to load and manage the reference image.
Loads images in any 3ds Max-supported format with automatic transparency handling (from alpha channel).
The image can be tied to the reference plane (object-space mapping) or projected from the camera (world-space mapping).
Custom settings to adjust image scale, position and general transparency.
Easily toggle the reference image visibility.
Script Uninstall :
To remove the script, just delete the corresponding file (in the most of the cases just a single file) in this folder:
C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\<version>\ENU\usermacros
* If the script is not there it's because it's a one-time run script, so there is no need to uninstall it.
