By the Emperor, you are the answer to questions I gave up asking!

@ArtisansofVaul 7 месяцев назад

Sorry you had to give up asking but I hope you're happy you've now found your answer 😁👍🏻

@АлексейПурех 7 месяцев назад

6:22 a tip: when moving the origin to the desired vertex/edge/face, you can hold alt before you click "To vert" option. This moves the origin without rotation (it will be aligned to the world axes).

@ArtisansofVaul 7 месяцев назад

Nice tip! Thanks so much. I always forget that. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I've just started to get into 3D miniatures. Your channel is great. Thanks!

@ArtisansofVaul 7 месяцев назад

😁 Thanks so much. Hope you have on your 3D miniature journey, it's a lot of fun 😁

@darrennew8211 7 месяцев назад

Cool. It for sure would be nice if you're going to change filament at particular layers to get the different colors.

@ArtisansofVaul 7 месяцев назад

That could give a really cool effect

@rajendrameena150 7 месяцев назад

I use inkscape and export svg from there, it has very clean result.

@ArtisansofVaul 7 месяцев назад

Oh cool. Great to have suggestions from people. Thanks so much 👍🏻😁

@fixumdude 7 месяцев назад

Yes, Inkscape has a very good trace image tool. Sometimes it gives even better results than Illustrator or CorelDraw for me. And you can't beat the price!

@ArtisansofVaul 7 месяцев назад

Thanks. We shall see

@bryanmahnke805 7 месяцев назад

it's not free, but if you have Illustrator, there's Image Trace. It has a few options in the dropdown to get different results. It won't separate them into layers like Photopea does, though, that's pretty nice.

@ArtisansofVaul 7 месяцев назад

👍🏻 Thanks for the tip. I'm sure that's really helpful for people that have Illustrator.

@j_shelby_damnwird 7 месяцев назад

Illustrator can be free. Ho hum, Always free. 🏴‍☠

@АлексейПурех 7 месяцев назад

1. The illustrator image trace has an option "ignore white", for example. 2. It creates path objects (on sublayers), which can be deleted as well

@ArtisansofVaul 7 месяцев назад

@user-sc2ge3os5i oh that's really nice and saves a step. Thanks 👍🏻

@eitantal726 7 месяцев назад

This is a relatively easy case, as the image is very simple, high-quality, and therefore easy to trace. In other cases, you might only have pictures of lower quality. I suggest adding an example of tracing a difficult case

@ArtisansofVaul 7 месяцев назад

In that example I think it would just be the standard tracing technique. I have covered that on the channel before so didnt want to repeat myself. I have a video on it here for example: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ehd9X7UW6e4.htmlsi=lT4AOJddu89qJNgX

@Mad.player 7 месяцев назад

Where were you mid last year when I was figuring this out by trial and error :D Good job with the tutorial!

@ArtisansofVaul 7 месяцев назад

Thanks. Sorry I was late to the party 😉

@tomgoesrogue 7 месяцев назад

I was doing this today (before the tutorial came out) and I think selecting all the verts and adding a 'merge by distance' before and after the 'limited dissolve' was worth it for me to really clean things up.

@ArtisansofVaul 7 месяцев назад

That's a good idea. I imagine it helps make things more uniform in distance. However, on tight corners like I have on the wings this can cause issues in the mesh (edged going through what should be blank space or things being misaligned) so it depends on the object. I didn't want to cover it and cause issues for someone when it caused problems. But it would be worth trying each time for surem

@tomgoesrogue 7 месяцев назад

For sure not just a 'do without thinking' operation @@ArtisansofVaul 😅

@monkmichel9477 7 месяцев назад

Yea I sometimes have to re-position edges to other vertices and dissolve the problematic edges, which is a bit easier if I use a stack of weld/solidify/bevel(clamping off) modifier stack so I only have to do it one time on a 2d plane. Also creating an edge with ctrl-j to restrict an area from going crazy helps too sometimes and isn't too much work imo, even if it isn't a clean way of working and probably a problem for 3-d printing when not cleaned up any further after that step (the not clamped bevel modifier that is). Also, dont know if its an issue with my blender set up but sometimes merging by distance does not get rid of overlapping vertices that are connected with an edge, not sure why, the solidify modifier goes crazy and creates geometry that goes into infinity lol but sliding the overlapping verts a tiny bit along the edge and the problem seems solved@@ArtisansofVaul

@ArtisansofVaul 7 месяцев назад

@monkmichel9477 hmm. . The merge by distance should work do that's very odd. I can't say I've found that. Good you found a solution to it 👍🏻 Very resourceful.

@rajendrameena150 7 месяцев назад

You can also use checker deselect in between the process.

@zlatnidukat7639 7 месяцев назад

Nice tut. It is usefull for simple pics/logos (with transparent background). But it is hard work to trace a more detailed picture.

@ArtisansofVaul 7 месяцев назад

Oh for sure, something relatively procedural like this will never be perfect. But I've had some pretty good success with it. And even things with complex colours can be turned to extreme black/white to give most of the shape and then you can tinker in Blender.

@eitantal726 7 месяцев назад

Can relate. I traced a crappy scanned, low-res page from a book. It was a lengthy process, but it worked ok. my first stage was an upscaler (Free, online), then tweaked some gamma/brightness/etc, then vectorized, then manually cleared off junk

@Starflight_Miniatures 7 месяцев назад

Great thanks dude!

@ArtisansofVaul 7 месяцев назад

👍🏻😁 Happy to help.

@АлексейПурех 7 месяцев назад

I noticed a strange feature when importing svg into blender: the object appears with the wrong scale, and if the physical size matters, then its scale has to be increased by 1.25 after import.🙄

@ArtisansofVaul 7 месяцев назад

That is VERY curious. I wonder why that is! Thanks so much for commenting, that's bizarre and awesome that you noticed it.

@coddy212thcommanderorang8 7 месяцев назад

@hunterjohnson9144 6 месяцев назад

Hey, I've tried following the video with my own pre-made svg, but when I right-click to convert to a mesh, the only options it has are path, Bezier curve, and Polygon curve. Does the ability to convert to mesh come from an add-on or is there something wrong with the svg?

@ArtisansofVaul 6 месяцев назад

The option should just be there, it's not part of an addon. When you import the SVG it should come in as a curve and that should always be able to be converted to a mesh

@hunterjohnson9144 6 месяцев назад

I figured it out. I used the wrong svg conversion. Thanks for getting back to me in a timely response though@@ArtisansofVaul

@ArtisansofVaul 6 месяцев назад

@hunterjohnson9144 Awesome, glad you got it sorted 👌🏼

@hunterjohnson9144 6 месяцев назад

Another dumb question: I have the Machinetools add-on, but when I shift S the point I want to be the origin, I do not see any option to change the origin of my object @@ArtisansofVaul

@ArtisansofVaul 6 месяцев назад

@@hunterjohnson9144 You need to go to the addon preferences and turn on the ones you want. The option is the "something and origins" pie menu

@NerdLegionInc 5 месяцев назад

So idk if i'm doing something wrong but blender 4.0 seems to have changed how svgs work and now i'm getting a tracing with just vertices and no faces, and you can't just fill the svg either so I'm not really sure what to do with it. I was able to work with SVGs fine up till recently.

@NerdLegionInc 5 месяцев назад

Nevermind. So DON'T drag and drop svg files, continue to use the import on these as dragging and dropping fucks them up for some reason.

@ArtisansofVaul 5 месяцев назад

@@NerdLegionInc It brings them in in a different format. I've got a quick video going through the difference here if you're interested: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tc7EVLnOnJA.html
