Background Images Fast Import
Blender addon
by Roman Sychev

A simple script to save time on the routine of importing background images for modelling reference.

The button for this function is in the 3D View properties menu, under "Background Fast Import" tab.
After pressing it, set the operator options:
- Only cardinal directions - check this to ignore any images without a direction in the filename.
- Path to folder - select the folder where the images you want to import are located.
- Scale as Pixels-per-Unit - use this option so that images retain their proportional size (instead of being scaled to the same width). Scales according to the selected measurement units.
- Scale and opacity - set these commonly used properties for all background images at once.

This function will search the specified folder for all JPG and PNG image files, and load them to blender as 3D View backgrounds.
Images with the words "TOP", "BOTTOM", "FRONT", "BACK", "LEFT", "RIGHT" or "CAMERA" (all case-insensitive) in their file names will automatically be constrained to the respective axis.
Images without these key words will either be ignored (if "Only cardinal directions" is checked) or be loaded for all views.
