A drawing reference tool for artists- sketch random images on timers
This is mostly a replacement for https://line-of-action.com/, with the following unique differences (I see them as improvements, YMMV):
- Use your own images (no images are provided for copyright reasons! You must fill up the /img directory with your own images)
- Preview all images in a session
- You decide the order of images and timers- if you want to do 30s, 5m, 30s, go ahead! 30s, 30s, 1m, etc? Go wild!
- Drag and drop images (as a digital artist, the inability to do this on LOA drives me crazy, I need to have the reference image side by side on my canvas!)
- More granular session control
- No auto-start; you start the timer when you're ready
- Lock a set of images (refresh/reload proof!)
On the flip side, you have to run this yourself on a local PHP server, which makes it slightly less easy to use than a website. Of course, you could very easily make this into a website or throw it on a local server, do whatever you want :)
Download. Run a local PHP server. (Google it)
Clicking "Lock Images" will save a text file to your downloads called "lock.txt". Move this to your fig-ref directory, and those images will load until you remove or replace that lock.txt file.
