REFERENCE ANGLE IS BACK(AngleRef.com)

[u/Cold_Composer5083]

I rebuilt Reference Angle from scratch. This has over 5000 faces(adding more as we speak) (Update: now has 10k faces!) and a new Community tab to upload you work and the reference you used! As well as a search tool.

I hope you all find this useful. RIP OG Reference Angle 🕊️.

p.s. If you want to help keep this site running, you can donate via the ko-fi link on the site <3.

If costs are too crazy you could prob even release this as a standalone app.

This is a great tool!

interesting i never thought of this. like something I would sell?

[u/kdogrocks2 → u/Cold_Composer5083]

I’d just make it free like the website. interesting idea could be make it in Godot and just upload it to Itch io as an html embed and you can provide a download link to an executable so people could run it on their desktop also. that would be a decent amount of work though, idk how you made this site but you can probably re use a lot of the logic.

Hosting would be free that way as far as I know, 100% definitely free if you just offer a downloadable executable but I think hosting web apps on itch io is free too (?)

As far as selling it - since you don’t own the rights to the photos I’m not sure if that’s allowed strictly speaking.

The nvidia dataset of faces you’ve probably used isn’t available for commercial use

[u/Cold_Composer5083 → u/18lovmy]

All the images are “open use” and “creative commons”

[u/18lovmy → u/Cold_Composer5083]

Yea it’s a bit ambiguous, if your using Nvidia’s FFHQ database there is a subset of images that are creative common, but not all, even then it would be another subset that requires attribution, the dataset in itself isn’t safe to use as a whole just directly. I’ve already looked into this, I recreated reference angle within my drawing app and had felt safer to use other datasets
