Here's an example of how Alex Ronald uses reference images on one of his projects to facilitate the modelling process. The planes with the applied images allow exact and detailed modelling and therefore save lots of time in defining the model's shape. On his blog he explains the work method and production process in detail to achieve the authentic look of the Stormtrooper helmet.

The images above show how different view angles are used and translated into three-dimensional space.

The final result is a very close replica of the original concept.
The next example is also from Alex's blog and showcases a plane model this time.

A further interesting idea is using free online textured models to create artwork. Rene Aigner uses a simple house model in the scene beneath and turns it into a safe-house with an incredible atmosphere created by the surrounding environment.
