Make PureRef Part of Your Creative Workflow

In this video, I dive into some of the recent updates in PureRef, the reference board software most of us use but probably don’t explore enough. These features have been out for a little while now, but I’ve been using them in some interesting ways to make my reference boards a lot more practical and useful for real projects. I’ll show you how to: 1. Set up smarter reference boards to organise your images and workflow 2. Use the drawing tool to make quick notes or sketch over your references 3. Document your process directly in PureRef 4. Create animated step-by-step guides by converting images into GIFs and embedding them into your board Whether you’re a concept artist, 3D artist, or designer, this tutorial will give you ideas to turn PureRef into more than just a place to collect images, it becomes a dynamic tool to plan, learn, and track your creative process. 💻 Register Pablo's Free Live Webinar: https://www.pablander.academy/event/from-cc5-to-marmoset-toolbag-5-real-time-rendering-workflow ___________________________ Find more details, resources, and links for this tutorial here: 👉 https://www.pablander.academy/tutorials/make-pureref-part-of-your-creative-workflow 🔗 RELATED VIDEOS: 5 Game-Changing PureRef Tips: Every Digital Artist Needs to Know: https://youtu.be/NW_paAEpsrY Collecting references in PureRef and planning the creature project: https://youtu.be/3AqVxF2vPc4 _________________________________________ 🎓 TUTORIALS, RESOURCES, COURSES & WORKSHOPS https://www.pablander.academy/ 💬 Join the Discord community: https://discord.gg/A35DmkWCPE 💌 STAY IN TOUCH Subscribe to my free weekly newsletter: https://www.pablander.academy/newsletter Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXOeEvVK_pXktERIEftnRMg/?sub_confirmation=1 🌐 My website: https://www.pablander.com 🔗 ArtStation: https://www.artstation.com/pablander 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pablander/ 🎥 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pablander 🐦 X / Twitter: https://x.com/pablander 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pablo-munoz-gomez/ _________________________________________ ⏱ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 00:13 - Where to Find PureRef 00:33 - Pin Feature 01:29 - Size, Pack, Group Shortcuts 05:07 - Hierarchy View 06:18 - Notes System 08:43 - GIFs in PureRef 10:18 - Documenting Tutorials as GIFs 11:56 - Crop, Draw 15:06 - Draw Tool Tips 16:32 - PureRef Features Practical Use 18:27 - Drawing tool for Feedback 20:06 - Cropping Feature Extra Tip 22:00 - Outro
