AnyImage is a Blender toolkit that turns images into planes, cutouts, and image-edited assets with materials, contours, and depth.

This file holds every use case of this repo. Each one starts with a "## " heading and ends with its URL.

## How to paste a clipboard image straight into a Blender scene with Any Image

Repo: [OmooLab/AnyImage](https://github.com/OmooLab/AnyImage) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Drop an image from the clipboard into the 3D View or Node Editor without saving a file first.

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

**The problem:** Saving a screenshot or reference to disk, then importing it, breaks the flow of a modeling session.

**The outcome:** The image appears in the current Blender workspace as a usable element, with no intermediate 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 to paste into your agent

```text
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.

## How to turn a reference image into a flat or depth plane with Any Image

Repo: [OmooLab/AnyImage](https://github.com/OmooLab/AnyImage) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Convert an image into a flat plane or a dimensional plane for a scene.

**Who it is for:** A Blender modeler or set designer who needs a textured surface built from a photo or concept image.

**The problem:** Building a textured plane by hand with the correct image mapping takes time for every reference.

**The outcome:** The image becomes a Plane or a Depth Plane in the scene, ready to place and light.

### Steps

1. Paste an image into Blender or select an existing Image Empty.
2. Right-click the Image Empty to open the Any Image menu.
3. Choose the Plane action for a flat result, or the Depth Plane action for a dimensional result.
4. Place and inspect the new plane in the 3D View.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the OmooLab/AnyImage add-on in Blender, convert the Image Empty named <image empty name> into a Plane or Depth Plane. Expected output: a new plane object in the scene with the image applied. Verify that the plane shows the source image in the viewport.
```

### Caveat

The README names the Plane and Depth Plane options but does not explain their settings, so check the result in the viewport before relying on it.

## How to cut out a subject and build a Surface, Balloon, or Depth Shape with Any Image

Repo: [OmooLab/AnyImage](https://github.com/OmooLab/AnyImage) | Difficulty: Advanced | Time: 45 minutes | Basis: From the README

Select a subject in an image and turn that selection into a 3D form.

**Who it is for:** A 3D illustrator or prop maker who wants a shape based on a subject in a photo.

**The problem:** Tracing a subject and building a matching 3D form manually is slow and hard to revise.

**The outcome:** The selected subject becomes a Surface, Balloon, or Depth Shape in the Blender scene.

### Steps

1. Start from an image in Blender, either pasted or on an Image Empty.
2. Select the subject you want to keep.
3. Open the Any Image menu and choose Cutout.
4. Pick Surface, Balloon, or Depth Shape and review the resulting object.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the OmooLab/AnyImage add-on in Blender, run Cutout on the subject <subject description> in the image <image name> and produce a Surface, Balloon, or Depth Shape. Expected output: a new 3D shape object in the scene. Verify that the shape matches the selected subject outline.
```

### Caveat

The README lists Surface, Balloon, and Depth Shape as outcomes but does not describe how selection works, so test on a simple image first.

## How to reframe, fix, and upscale a reference image inside Blender with Any Image

Repo: [OmooLab/AnyImage](https://github.com/OmooLab/AnyImage) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Use built-in image tools to crop, repair transparency, correct perspective, and enlarge a reference.

**Who it is for:** A texture artist or concept designer who has a rough reference image that needs cleanup before use.

**The problem:** Preparing a reference image in a separate editor adds a round trip and extra files.

**The outcome:** A cleaned, reframed, and upscaled image ready to use as a reference or texture in the Blender scene.

### Steps

1. Select an existing Image Empty or paste an image into Blender.
2. Right-click to open the Any Image menu.
3. Choose the image tool you need: reframe, edit transparent areas, correct perspective, remove background, or upscale.
4. Check the edited image in the 3D View before using it in a material or plane.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the OmooLab/AnyImage add-on in Blender, apply the image tool <tool name> to the Image Empty <image empty name>. Expected output: an edited image in the scene. Verify the edit visually in the 3D View and confirm the source image is unchanged where required.
```

### Caveat

The README names these image tools but does not say which tool runs on which image type or how results compare to a dedicated image editor.
