2d to 3d using Blender tracing

How to convert 2d image to 3d mesh using grease pencil tracing. Blender 3d tutorial

[Bugulab]

he hit f with edges selected after loop tools space operation to fill object with polygon, then i for insetting. then k for knife tool for splitting polygon so it isn’t confused, then m for merging points which turned not so good, then m again for merging bad points again, but this time with distance option.

Why don't you mention what shortcuts you're using? This defeats the whole purpose of a tutorial

[scottonanski]

You really should show your key commands.

[clauacostaoficial]

Thank you for the info, but in the future I recommend to explain the steps, and key comands on the keyboard because the menus change over time, also it's too fast. For example I can't find Loop tools on my menu and I'm confused because I don't see your mouse or keyboard commands. Good tutoral keep going.

[andrewporter]

good method but absurdly obtuse to follow along the esoteric steps that were NOT explained

WTAF this is the best / most powerful tool for this. great stuff. Thanks for video

You are an absolute diamind my friend! I am making a photorealistic tree and need leaves. You've literally probably saved me months of work. Thank you so much.

[jessicalatch]

Wow this method would have saved me a ton of time had I known tracing with the grease pencil was an option. And that loop tools function? Amazing. Thanks very much

Such a great technique but video is so blurry and cant see the actions being made. Deffo looking for a technique like this.. can you reply in the comments of the actions u done?

[jesperjee]

Ok...I have no idea how you did any of this as there are no key commands shown.

[Bugulab]

good tutorial, definitely not for beginners, but beginners should learn fundamentals before complaining.

How do you open the search menu before you removed the background

[kennethmayao]

I tried tracing jpg and png files but it only show grease pencil on the outliner, and nothing was traced. Also, I am using blender 4.1.
