Reference images window in blender

I would like to see such functionality as in the pure ref program (I placed its window as an example).I don’t think it will be difficult to add, but there will be a lot of benefits. ref.png

There are addons for this:

  • BlendRef adds a new editor that basically works as PureRef or BeeRef (its opensource equivalent, please give it a try if you like to keep things FOSS)
  • Easyref has a different approach, it uses Blender's reference image system but make it easier to handle and lets you have images locked in screen space so that they stay visible on your viewport as you move around. (That later feature is more clearly showcased on this video: Easyref 101 - Addon for Blender (English) )

Both do the same job with a different approach that suit different tastes.
