This is a great tutorial. I am brand new to Blender and have been able to create a custom stamp for my pottery projects. The additional information about the boolean modifier is going to be a lifesaver. I have to watch this at 0.5 playback speed and take notes, but it works. Thank you so much.

Great tutorial, thanks!
If anyone else is having trouble cutting out holes with boolean because the outside mesh disappears, try switching the solver from "exact" to "fast". It ended up working for me.

Thanks a lot, i wanted to model a coin and this was really important 😂

About a month ago I needed to find this out and found your old video. I needed it again and I find you've made a new one, thank you very much for the great tutorial

[mrlightwriter]

This is just what I need for my work! You're the best!

Thank you SO MUCH for this video! After a happy mistake, I figured out how to make an even cleaner outline. After applying the displace modifier to the plane, then create a second plane. Use the Boolean modifier on the second plane and choose the first displaced outline as the object with the eye dropper. Make sure the second plane is close to but not touching the base (the part near the flat area). Apply the Boolean modifier. Now you have a super clean outline. Extrude that plane to create a 3D object. Let me know what you think!!

When blender changed it's basic user interface (I learned on 2.0+) I gave up modeling because it felt like I had to learn everything all over again with the new UI. Well I got a 3D printer, which brought me back to blender. I plan to make 3D Printed garden pieces so I can cast them out of materials like Concrete, Plaster, Clay etc. This tutorial helped significantly for an idea that I have been wanting to make, thank you so much for taking the time to put this together. I feel like I can learn the new UI of blender now. Here's a cool note, this tutorial is helping me 3D Print some bricks that will be casted in Concrete, your knowledge will be on this earth as long as those bricks stay in place. <3 God bless you and your family and anyone that reads this.

Can't thank you enough. Liked, subbed and shared

You doin nice broo 👌 keep goin i wish good luck

You can just press CTRL+G and select coplanar on the top, invert selection with CTRL I and delete. You don't need to select all the vertices. And for the edge, you just need to click the edge press ctrl g and select amount of faces around an edge.

Awesome video
It is really weird that this channel it not getting tones of views per video already
wish you luck buddy

How do we go about texturing it once we make it?

[MaDmonkey]

If you delete everything (Cube, light and camera) then to go file > defaults > save startup file then you dont have to delete it everything every time you open Blender

I’m trying to use your technique on my logo but I have holes I don’t want to fill and I don’t know how to fill only some parts and leaving the holes untouched. Could you help me?

[HerboQ-vlrt]

Mine looks a lil wierd meaning in the image goes in instead of going out like urs I heard u saying something about the white going out and black going in so does my image have to be black and white for it to work?

[SUB-WFR]

this is a great video.
shame the bit where you separate and cut holes in the original shape just doesnt work

[Oddball_Kai]

When I tried to fill the mesh it has gaps and connects verticies that shouldn't how do i fix that

[fortniterockerz]

Hey I’m stuck in the part where you said “press l and press f to fill” I’m using the same logo so idk where I lagged

[YousufMohammed]

You could just add the image as a plane for the first step, instead of taking note of the dimensions right?
