Yes its easier to model with a reference in your scene rarther than on another PC etc as you can directly relate to it for positioning/scaling and rotations.

Re: using image plane to model environment
sounds like an intresting tutorial can you give us link to it?Originally posted by banksta
I have two computers and usually eyeball all the pieces in my model from a pic of the environment on one screen. I saw a tutorial where a guy used the perspective view and modeled it all in the perspective view. He lined up and modeled out everything making the model this way. Is this easier.
