In this video we learn how to make a 3D logo from and 2d image using blender. we start by converting our image to an SVG and i talk through how to clean this up if needed. then we extrude out the shape for a fantastic 3d model

Last night I spent a few hours building a 3d anim for my intro log. I spent 2 hours trying to recreate my SVG by hand.

After finishing the attempt, I pondered "Does Grant have a video on this??" Lo and behold you have exactly the tutorial I needed. So now I am importing SVGs and editing them in Blender!

Thanks, Grant, Much appreciated!

If I'm not mistaking, it was your earlier version of this video that made discover your channel several years ago... 😁
I've been a fan ever since !! 🏆

I use this workflow a lot after I design a logo for a client, I make a 3d version with material properties. Same thing I do for some Sign mockups when I need to sell a closeup shot or shots from different angles, to the client. Some of them think the Signs are already made, even before they make down payments.

Great Tip as usual. Thanks for sharing Grant!

Just FYI, I just learned this can be done with a displacement and smooth modifiers using image as plane import addon. Blender on. Akerace Drill

And maybe we can use CTRL+A and then M - By Distance to deal with the vertices that are too close

This is fantastic! I needed this for our logo.

When you extruded .1 m vertically and it went to .2, it looks like it's extruding up AND down, giving you double the extrusion on that axis. So it was a .1 extrusion, but in both directions. I noticed the grid was going through the middle of the shape, rather than sitting on the bottom of it.

Not sure if there's a setting that can be toggled for that, but that looked like what happened.

Another brilliant video! Thanks Grant.

Thanks for this! i was getting frustrated because I was dragging the image into the build area, not 'opening' it.

Wow the levels of bot comments below mine is something to behold right ?

[Korczys]

Hey Grant! Will there ever be a topic about UE5 and integrating models from Blender, transferring animations, materials, etc.? You yourself praised Unreal, so... :D I have your courses on Udemy, but only the Unity thread is covered there.

I am not bot! Good video, thank you.

I have a problem, please help me out. i will be grateful. if i make logo using 3d models like box, cone etc present in create section of element, then that model is able to be saved and imported into 3D element scene . but when i autotrace any image in after effects and then apply video copilot's E3d effect load image on texture map and auto traced mask in mask map and open E3d scene set up and extrude that model in preview and and load texture on that and save it in folder whose destination is Documents/VideoCopilot/Models, then i am not able to import it . the E3d scene shows it, but E3d preview does not show the model but it is showing the gizmo of that folder which contains model . please help me out.if i make logo using 3d models like box, cone etc present in create section of element, then that model is able to be saved and imported into 3D element scene . but when i autotrace any image in after effects and then apply video copilot's E3d effect load image on texture map and auto traced mask in mask map and open E3d scene set up and extrude that model in preview and and load texture on that and save it in folder whose destination is Documents/VideoCopilot/Models, then i am not able to import it . the E3d scene shows it, but E3d preview does not show the model but it is showing the gizmo of that folder which contains model . please help me out.

You can use also gimp and making paths and exporting them.

Can you convert in B3D a SVG file that the logo is not cut out of the background? I have one that the logo is the transparent part and the background is the black part, hope that makes sense.
