Ask in this thread

what good would a 2d image do in a 3d program?

or are you trying to set up blueprints?

i am

all i can find is someone saying:
First load your reference images into the viewports.

heres some materials that i found though:

here are some random tutorials:

(although i know there are a ton more out there)

in 3dsmax, all i do is just set up planes for the blueprints, and apply a material to them that have the blueprints on them, and then make it so it shows the picture in the viewport, i dont know if that is possible in blender or not

but i think what that one person said is my best advice "load reference images into viewports" however that is done
