Reference Planes in Blender 2.5?
I would like to be able to use a plane with the texture of an image as my reference while modeling in Blender 2.5 Alpha 2. I can create these planes easily, but the meshes I am modeling are opaque and disallow visibility of the reference image behind them. Is there a way to make the meshes transparent so that I can see through to the reference image while modeling it?
I’m using 2.49b not 2.5 and the interface is very different so I don’t know exactly where the tab is but you should easily be able to switch to wireframe mode so you just see the edges of each face and should still be able to see the image underneath. Also you do not have to create planes for your reference images, Blender allows you to load background images directly into the viewport without having to create a plane to attach them to. Check the blender wiki to find the exact locations of these features in 2.5
