Ultimate Camera Reference Manager Tool For Maya
RefTool saves hours by making precise reference matching easier, with all controls and navigation in one interface.
If you're a Character Artist tired of manually matching your models to reference images in Maya, Kanstantsin Vershalovich's solution might be just what you need. RefTool, recently updated to version 3.0, is his custom project for precise reference matching that consolidates all navigation and controls into a single interface.
While it doesn't bring anything fundamentally new to Maya, RefTool is designed to automate and streamline your workflow. Within a single interface, you can create cameras, relink images, and adjust alignment using intuitive sliders without searching for these features across multiple menus. You can also restore a previous camera position if the new one doesn't work as expected.
There's also a new alternative navigation mode called RefBoard, giving you more flexibility when working with references, and you can export all your camera settings into a single JSON file, which is much safer for production.
