Recently, I've had an uptick in people struggling to download the packs from the Patreon shop. The pack will start downloading and then quit about halfway through; contact me if this happens to you, and I will provide alternate links!
This WILL be fixed by Monday. I believe the issue will be solved by breaking the .ZIPs into smaller parts, none exceeding 2 gigs. It will take me the w...

2024-10-17 14:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostWe did our first video reference tests a few weeks ago! I've been holding off on releasing them as there were some issues with the clarity. However, they are 60 FPS and still work as references...so I didn't want to hold them hostage. haha
The full-resolution video is linked below!
We took both horizontal and vertical videos, using different props, at different angl...

The votes are in, and it seems you guys want to know what's up next. I figured showing just a tiny portion of the ...very large mood boards we make for each shoot might be a nice teaser!
Lady of the Lake drops on September 23rd. 💙
2024-09-17 02:35:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! We're wondering if you'd prefer us to announce a pack theme once everything is finalized, or if you'd like it to be more of a surprise?
It's easy to know what packs are currently in production from polls, etc., but do you want a pack to be announced when it is officially scheduled? Let us know!

I'm putting together the pose and visual mood board for the upcoming Creature Pose pack, and it occurred to me that this would be a great time to ask for any specific suggestions from everyone.
Feel free to send me visuals, keywords, and descriptions of some of the poses you think we should capture.
The vibe of this pack is beastly, creepy, and contorted. It'll be semi-nude,...
2024-08-27 01:37:36 +0000 UTC View PostHere is the list of our higher-priority packs. That means they've either been suggested by someone, or we really want to do them (or both!)
I've decided not to include "Starter" packs, as those are more based on specific models. We do them to gauge a model's vibe. It's also how we fulfill specific model requests; for example, larger males have been requested a few times.

As many of you probably know, video references were one of the stretch goals that we hit right at the end of the TrueRef Kickstarter. While I want to serve the animation community eventually, I want to approach our first batch a little differently.
Our plan is to shoot 15 to 30-second clips of both subtle and dynamic movements that an illustrator can then scrub through and grab th...

2024-08-14 05:28:43 +0000 UTC View PostFirst, I want to introduce myself because while TrueRef is a team and very collaborative, most of the time, it's just me talking in the third person. I'm Abbey Esparza, the director and owner of TrueRef.
As a TrueRef+ subscriber, the TrueRef library and two new packs a month are the juiciest perks you get. But in my opinion, the most fun is helping direct and steer future reference packs!...
