Blender Tutorial - Turn Any 2D Image to 3D Model - Quick & Easy 

me: casually subdividing it by 100 twice my computer:

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!

Brooooo, Ive looking for this. The best, most concise, informative and best paced tutorial I've seen in a while. Thanks a lot. Good video bro

Incredible tutorial, took me like 40 mins to do it but it was so well explained and informative. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge, respect!

Exactly what I needed. Thank you for your generosity. May all your endeavors be successful !

This was an excellent tutorial! You did a fantastic job and got to the point! Keep up the great work!

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.

I learnt 3x from this tutorial than I thought I would. Good job!

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.

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!

Amazing. Thank you so much for this man. So helpful! Looking forward your next tutorials.

i learned way more then expected, great video!

It was a bit hard to follow as a blender noob, but I got it now. Looks so good, thanks! :)

Well deserved like. I can't thank you enough. Top notch tutorial. Many thanks!

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.

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.

really good, thank you. simple and concise!

This helps me a lot at the Time, thanks for your Work.💪👍👍👍

thank you for a well explained tutorial!

My dude, thank you so much for this tutorial.

This was EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR

Nice job, i was thinking of designing a coaster for 3d printing and this will help a lot.

Amazing tutorial!

Thank U so much! So easy! 😃

Thank you, made my first 3D model

Fabulous. Thank you

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)

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😄

Thanks so much for helping me.

THANK YOU! You just saved my life :D

Excellent ! 👌

ong this video save me!!! thank you so much.

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.

Holy fu** ! The best tuto ever !

Excellent.

Excellent. Thank you. How will it work with colors other than black and white?

Thank you so much, Champion

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?

bridge edgeloops did not work for me in just connected all the vertices

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

How do you do the bridge edge loops because everytime I try it it fills the whole plane.

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

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

When I open the texture image; it does not render on the screen; am I missing a step?

The sound from your mic could be louder but this video helps me rlly

How do i reset subdivisions? I tried cntrl e then u and it didn't work.

After S + Z + 0, why haven't you applied the merge by distance?

If any one has issues with extruding making a duplicate instead of stretching, Go in edit mode - select all - right click - merge - by distance.

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

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?

How do you select all the verices faces at once to delete ?

Nice

My computer did not like that I tried to subdivide by 100 twice instead of 3 on the second subdivision looool

Can I use this to convert a 2D map (with mountains) into a 3D one?

Great video, any way to do this and retain the original colours of the image?

thank u

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.

How to use dimension in 2D 3D imagne changes

why can't I use the straight cut feature on the subdive?

How can I add a face on something which has more than one hole?

像这样的模型我以前都是用曲线慢慢画的O.O没想得还能这样做，我学到了，谢谢你( •̀ ω •́ )✧

can I make it so I can print it on a 3D printer?

I tried this 3 times, and I never see my logo after importing to displacement map. Has this changed since the newest update??

can It work for color images?

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?

How do I make the image smoother? (Mine came out all pixel-y)

Hello, this was great but, if i want to fill the letter G or smothing The same thing happens on 5:57 its goes into crazy if i fill it with Bridge edge loops....

and what if i use a colored image?

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?

I usually do it the old fashioned way. Extrude, scale, extrude, scale, move, edge loop, extrude, scale, you get the idea.

When I try to subdivide the second time Blender stops responding?

I (like many others) and roadblocked by the extrude issue. Object will not extrude upwards on the z-axis, as if it's not in 3d space.

His shortcut keys are out of my head

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.

Piece of advise...Plane base goes up after changing strength to 0.25 instead of remaining down, what did I do wrong? Any help would be totally apreciated

what about topology

I am not getting my png to show full, it keeps being out of scale even though I have the plane mathcing the size of the png

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.

When I increase modifiers the plane turns black on the edit mode and can't click it

how to export ?

I could not hear no mater how high i put the volume

the displaced part dissappears for me when i go into edit mode. do you have a fix for it?

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!

I can't extrude the z axis at all. It will only extrude X and Y.

still not sure how to color the 3d model from the image

S Z 0 doesn't work for me. S i scale. Z shows shading and 0 does nothing. The same when I press all at once. How to flatten all of that surface?

Hi i use blender 4 and after i delete the faces and flat it out and i get stuck at 3:21 How to extrude the mesh? thanks...i press E+Z but Z is wireframe solid and material preview option and nothing happens when i press E+Z pls help

I don't know but it's not working for me

how do i add the color of an image back to it?

So how's this supposed to work for anything more complicated than the batman logo? I can't even get bridge edge loops to work properly on a letter A

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

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.

so every time I get to the shift d step something keeps messing up and I've tried over and over again and idk wtf is wrong can u please help me

not sure why but my brand new computer cant seem to handle the strain of subdividing the second time :/

MINES NOT WORKING

MY LOGO IS A BUNCH OF STRAIGHT LINES AND I FOLLOWED ALL STEPS BUT SOMEHOW ITS ALL JAGGED LINES HOW DO I FIX THIS?

what do you mean in 3:07 of clip you say press S Z and press zero !!what does it mean and I press it but do nothing in edit mode

what version of blender you using? i am having trouble with it

Hello … can you please tell me why I’m not able to access extrude. It’s going to the sides when i tried to extrude. Can you help me fix this…
