Damn, out of all the blender tutorials I've seen, this one is definitely one of the best. Thanks for the simple, straight-to-the-point tutorial. Keep it up!
I agree! This is the first one that I could actually follow and accomplish my goal! Others: "just extrude, move, / a 17 bzpg" Me: What the hell did he just say!!
Good tutorial, but the keyboard shortcuts are hard to follow along with when they are only sometimes on the screen. Such as 3:17, did you press tab, e, z, but only put on the screen tab, e? It would be helpful to reference the actual features instead of shortcuts for this reason, to give a real explanation as to what you are doing.
Seems to be an overly complicated way to extrude a shape. Why not trace the bitmap file and make a path from it, import it as svg, convert to mesh, extrude. Done.
Inkscape can be use as a SVG generator to make this as a 3D curve convert to mesh or as a stencil , this method is only if you want to apply some kind of bump or bas relief detail logo to the surface of another 3D model.
Thank you for your very clear and easy to follow instructions. Today is the very first day I downloaded and used blender but was able to achieve my goal of turning a picture into 3d so I it can help me with the perspective for some of my product concepts. Thank you very much.
Looking forward to trying this myself. I recently picked up a 3D printer and would like to fabricate some custom parts for a small model. I had planned to make them out of clay, but I would prefer to 3D print them. Thanks for what seems to be an easy to follow tutorial.
One thing to note is using the smooth modifier or the Shade Smooth setting will not improve the quality of a 3D printed or machined object made from the 3d model cause smoothing just hides the polygons with shading wich the CAM/Slicer program will ignore as it just sees the "raw" polygons in contrast to say a game engine where the shading will carry over and hide the polygons but they are still there. Only further subdivisions to make the polygons even smaller will work for creating a physical object with a (somewhat) smooth surface right from the machine.
One thing he left out that caught me scratching my head was when you make the subdivide, he switches back to object mode, which is important for the modifier to work.
Hi great tutorial but can't find an answer to the following: what if the bridge edge loops and fill both creates vertices that pass over empty space? I have a circular logo and there must be some variation in the z axis along the vertices because filling or bridging edge loops causes some of them to overlap others. I tried scaling along the z axis as you said to flatten everything but didn't fix it. For example imagine a doughnut where the inner hole has been filled in but the vertices outlining the hole are still there. Is there a way to cut the face of the doughnut using the vertices of the inner hole?
Thank you so much I’ve watch more video of trying to do this exact thing that your doing. And yours has work phenomenal and I appreciate it more than words can describe. Thank and please keep up the good work.
It’s much easier (and way better) to draw it on a vector software, import it on blender and extrude. There are free vectorial tools that are excellent. Nice exercise to learn some blender tricks btw.
Thank you for the usefull info. When I hit Solidify and increase the thickness, instead of doing that, it connects vertices and sems to thicken in yx plane thus creating weird shapes. What am I doing wrong?
I have watched the video many times but in my case after opening the image, the image is not displaying in the working area.Help to fix the issue please
In 3:44 of the video, I do exactly the same as you, and on Edit Mode, scrolling the select bar, select sharp edges doesn´t appear. I´m almost to f**k off my Blender learning because every step costs all my nerves.
This tutorial is great but at around 3:51 I lost the plot a bit, every time I try it I get a copy of the entire face of the logo, instead of just an orange outline of the sharp edges. Am I doing something wrong? Any explanation appreciated since I'm stuck on this step.
I don't understand this... I hit E and then Z but it just pulls it all apart. I've restarted this video 6 times and I've redid my project another 10. So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I've watched a few tutorials and this is literally the worst way to do this. Convert to SVG (Adobe Express) drop in. Delete anything you don't want, select all, switch to Edit and Extrude on Z access. Export. Took me 5 mins after 4 hours battling with this chump method.
Why do not you just use vector made in corel draw or illustator and change it to 3D object later? It is done like in 1 minute and the result is way better? :D
can someone please tell me why my imported SVG logo has jagged lines but the actual svg is smooth?! I've been searching for days with no answer or solutions. Tempted to switch to Maya or c4d
Any advice on why Blender will not allow me to extrude on the z-axis? Like when I go to 3:22 in the video it does not allow me to extrude upwards I can only extrude on the x/y axis.
I think i figured it out. Somewhere along the way the Z scale of the object gets set to 0. Meaning there's nothing for the object to multiply on top of. Solution: Go to OBJECT mode -> hit N or look for that transform window -> check SCALE: set z to like .01, then try again
thanks for this amazing tutorial but having an issue with something I'm working on can you help ? when I try to the step the resolution is SOOO bad even though the image is high res thanks in advance
what is the pixel to meters conversion? I nothing appeared when I uploaded my logo to the displacement settings.. does the plane need to be the exact size as the logo dimensions?
Do you know if there is a way to make the Displace modifier squeeze out a three-dimensional image with filled space? I need to squeeze out a human model that shouldn't be flat, and it works, but there is a cavity inside the silhouette, which shouldn't be there. The option to cut out a thin plane and extend it in volume does not suit me, because then the reliefs will disappear
When I use the displace modifier, the displacement is very choppy and spiky, not nearly as flat as yours is here. Do you know how I'd be able to solve that issue?

Oof, thats rough buddy, doesnt happen to me, and idk how to do subdivide in industrial blender, but i just use loop cuts then increase and do agian with the other axis
HI. When I am about to delete the bottom at 2:45 it doesn´t bring the delete options up as it does in your video. :) what have I missed, I am complete new to this. Thanks in advance!
Incredible tutorial, took me like 40 mins to do it but it was so well explained and informative. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge, respect!
how bro how
I learnt 3x from this tutorial than I thought I would.
Good job!

Haha fr
my pc crashed
my computer is still loading
my computer said something else than what it usally says when its not reasponding

4:08 just FYI in case you wanna add a notation - you said "Set origin to 3d cursor" but selected "Origin to Geometry" (which is correct)
Thank you so much I was trying so much so I decided to scroll to the comments to see whats wrong then I saw this comment and realized lol
Exactly what I needed. Thank you for your generosity. May all your endeavors be successful !
It was a bit hard to follow as a blender noob, but I got it now. Looks so good, thanks! :)

Yes. Via Inkscape.
This doesn't seem complicated to me though... Just 1 week using Blender
He definitely did this the LOOOOONG way. SVG, convert, extrude.. Whatever is going on here, do not do it this way lol

Thanks for solving 3 problems i am facing at once. Great Tutorial and you have earned a sub!
Thank you for this tutorial. The SVG generators out there can have some unwanted artifacts that are hard to clean up, this is much more simple!

incredible that this is considered simple--7 minutes of almost one instruction per second!
Welcome to Blender, the worst 3D package, in Maya this takes a few clicks haha
@@wallacesousuke1433 Found a way to do it with TinkerCAD in 2, lol. 1. Convert to SVG 2. Import to TinkerCAD.

Amazing tutorial!! Congrats! And keep the good work!
i learned way more then expected, great video!
my image was shitty as hell so I had to refine the model for a long time but so much grateful to watch this tutorial jajaja
This was an excellent tutorial! You did a fantastic job and got to the point! Keep up the great work!
I decided to just keep it looking pixelated, because I'm aiming to make a low-poly game, anyway. But this saved a lot of time.
perfect video! I has looking for something like this at days!

Well deserved like. I can't thank you enough. Top notch tutorial. Many thanks!
Nice job, i was thinking of designing a coaster for 3d printing and this will help a lot.
Happy to help 🙂
How do you do the bridge edge loops because everytime I try it it fills the whole plane.
I learned so much, thank you!
Amazing. Thank you so much for this man. So helpful! Looking forward your next tutorials.
I really appreciate your awesome words :)
THANK YOU! You just saved my life :D
Thanks 4 the tutorial because I had to 3D print something for my teachers and I needed to somehow get a png to a stl so thanks😄
yay!! thankyou! there will now be an ic0n cube on pintables for all!

Excellent ! 👌
5:41 im trying to fill a letter R, but when I select it and try to fill, it only fills the hole in the R. Help?
Did you find a solution. Im having the same problem right now
Amazing tutorial!
My dude, thank you so much for this tutorial.
I have watched the video many times but in my case after opening the image, the image is not displaying in the working area.Help to fix the issue please
So I learned that you have to make sure you're in object mode so you can see it.
When I open the texture image; it does not render on the screen; am I missing a step?
Holy fu** ! The best tuto ever !

ong this video save me!!! thank you so much.
At 2:55 when Im selecting the parts of the wireframe, it just selects the whole mesh. Why blender doesn't let me to select certain parts of the mesh?
select the edit mode
Excellent. Thank you. How will it work with colors other than black and white?
Everybody hates a 3 min tutorial dragged for 20 min. But man, you were RACING on this tutotial, slow a little bit...

helped alot
I would have done it pretty much the same way, but near the end, i would have cut away half of it and used a mirror modifier to ensure symmetry
Excellent idea for symmetrical logos
Fabulous. Thank you
If any one has issues with extruding making a duplicate instead of stretching, Go in edit mode - select all - right click - merge - by distance.
Nice guide, but how do I apply textures after? It's just showing up black when I apply any
The latest tutorial I made shows how to apply texture after.. feel free to check it out
bridge edgeloops did not work for me in just connected all the vertices
Why do not you just use vector made in corel draw or illustator and change it to 3D object later? It is done like in 1 minute and the result is way better? :D
Thank you :)
I usually do it the old fashioned way. Extrude, scale, extrude, scale, move, edge loop, extrude, scale, you get the idea.
can someone please tell me why my imported SVG logo has jagged lines but the actual svg is smooth?! I've been searching for days with no answer or solutions. Tempted to switch to Maya or c4d
Gonna try this later lol wish me lots of luck 🤣
When I increase modifiers the plane turns black on the edit mode and can't click it
Zoom in, its just too many verticeses unselected, which makes them black, you should go to object mode, THEN, click, and edit mode.

doesnt work my transparent PNG logo failed to work with this. F
because you need a black and white image, with white for the Background and black for the logo or anything
