"free" blueprint reference for modeling and posing (I mean when you have more than standard top/front/side images, or you haven't got them at all...) and photo match rendering are the first that come to mind for me.... but then it's up to your workflow of course.

the key thing is when you're in overlay mode your mouse (and keyboard, except one single key) can see through the tool window and controls your main app in the background

cheers,
A

I love it, I'm madly in love with sculptris, just for the fun of it, so this is a great app. Thanks
