Convert 2D Pictures Into 3D Mesh Objects in Blender | Import 2D Image & Convert Them to 3D Models

In this tutorial, we will learn how to easily convert any 2D picture into a 3D mesh object in Blender. The Import As Plane option does not really create a 3D object, there are better and easy methods described here. You can easily import 2D image into Blender and create your 3D model.

Maybe a little remark her, you first to enable the import of Images:

Edit > Preferences.
Click the Add-Ons tab.
Search “Image”
Activate the “Import-Export: Import Images as Planes”
Close User Preferences window.
File > Import > Images as Planes, or in the 3D Viewport press Shift+A > Images > Images as Planes.
Find and select an image to import.

Man if you want to continue this series, plase create short and specific videos about this. Like how to edit specific face in an object because I do not know how, I know how to select each but when I try to edit specific face or line all is affected. We need specific videos to each task. Other youtubers are bombarding us with a lot of infos and its very intimidating

[francichiara]

Thank you! Is the mesh ready to be printed in colour or do I have to do to any step before printing?

[touyaakira]

I am hoping you can help me.
I would like to create a 3d model of a space ship design. I have 2d images of the ship from the top, bottom, front, back and sides. Is it possible to take all six images and combine them to make the model? Is there anything you can suggest?

I followed your steps and everything was fine except when I changed modifier mode to Complex the system crashes

[sreeragpc]

Sir, I'm imported an image in 2d animation window, objects>add>image as a plane . But images always shows behind the sketch, can't solve that problem, plane distance also changed but not working, any solution?

[network]

Can someone explain how to UV map these things ? I'm using these for a game and I want to fix the sides and perhaps texture it a little more, but I don't really know how
