Easyref earns its place in the superhive library as an image-reference add-on for Blender, backed by documentation and a version range spanning 2.9 to 5.1.
Easyref is a Blender add-on from Pitiwazou for integrating image references into your projects. Its stated purpose is bringing reference images into Blender.
It works across a broad range of Blender versions, from 2.9 through 5.1, and is released under the GPL license. That version range spans older Blender builds up to the 5.1 series, so it isn't tied to a single release. Documentation accompanies the add-on, and a demo video is available for a closer look.
Published more than six years ago, Easyref has recorded over 300 sales and carries a small number of ratings that average a perfect score. Within this catalog Easyref is listed as free, though the developer's page covers current licensing options in full. For how it handles reference images inside Blender, the demo video and documentation offer the closest look.
Easyref is best for blender users who need to bring image references into their projects.
Easyref is completely free to download and use.
Easyref lists compatibility with Blender versions 2.9 through 5.1, which covers a wide span of releases from older builds to more recent ones. That range means the add-on isn't locked to a single Blender generation, so you can run it across several installations. If you're on a version inside that window, it should load without issue; for anything outside it, check the developer's page before installing, since compatibility beyond the stated range isn't confirmed here.
Easyref is listed as free in this catalog, so you can add it without a cost figure attached here. Licensing on the developer's page is handled through separate usage tiers, so if you need details on personal, commercial or team usage, that page is the place to confirm current terms. The add-on is also distributed under the GPL license. For the most accurate and up-to-date pricing or usage rights, refer directly to Pitiwazou's page rather than relying on a snapshot.
Easyref ships with documentation, listed among its resources, so you have written material to reference when setting it up and using it. Alongside the documentation, a demo video is available for anyone who prefers to see the add-on before diving in. Between the two, there's guidance on hand from the developer. For specifics on installation steps or feature walkthroughs, the developer's page and that documentation are the primary sources, since the finer details aren't spelled out here.
Easyref is released under the GPL license. That governs how the add-on's code can be used, modified and shared. Separately, the developer's page lists usage tiers covering personal, commercial and team scenarios, so the license applies to the code while those tiers set out purchase and usage terms. If you need to be certain about what you're permitted to do with Easyref in a given project, Pitiwazou's page is the place to confirm the current details.
