Who it is forA 3D artist who finds a reference image while working in Blender and wants it in the scene right away.

The problemSaving a screenshot or reference to disk, then importing it, breaks the flow of a modeling session.

The outcomeThe image appears in the current Blender workspace as a usable element, with no intermediate file.

What you need first

  • Blender with the AnyImage add-on installed, following the Installation page linked in the README
  • An image on the clipboard or an existing image in the Blender file

Steps

  1. Copy an image to the clipboard.
  2. Hover over the 3D View or Node Editor in Blender.
  3. Press Ctrl+Shift+V (Cmd+Shift+V on macOS) to paste the image into the current workspace.
  4. Select the new Image Empty and right-click to open the Any Image menu for further actions.

Prompt for your agent

Using the OmooLab/AnyImage add-on in Blender, paste the clipboard image <image file or description> into the 3D View with Ctrl+Shift+V. Expected output: an Image Empty in the current scene. Verify that the Image Empty exists and that the AnyImage menu opens on right-click.

Caveat. The README gives only the Blender paste shortcut and does not describe the install commands, so setup depends on the linked Installation page.
