Tutorial: Rendering 2D Icons as 3D Objects in Blender 

Hello! So something interesting that has happened: You guys have downloaded so many SVG icons from the website mentioned in the tutorial, that they seem to have removed the option to download free SVG icons. But fear not, there are many open source alternatives to get great SVG icons! Here is a list: Feather Icon (Open source): feathericons.com/ Google Fonts Icons (Open source): fonts.google.com/icons Remix Icon (Open source): remixicon.com/ Bootstrap Icons (Open source): icons.getbootstrap.com/ Feel free to add your suggestions in the comments, and I'll try and update this list!

The ending.... Mind = Blown

holy shit, that ending escalated

Ok you got my sub and I don't even use blender that was soo cool

I've been doing logos for the past 10 yeas, now i'm offering a 3d version of the same logos and making some extra money for the past 2 weeks thanks to you and this incridible video! i've no words to describe how thanfull i am to you master, please keep doing this amazing job!

Every night I wake up in a cold sweat thinking what would happen if Polyfjord stopped making videos…we really need more of this stuff.

Polyfjord, simply one of the best Blender artists out there.

Beesechurgers > Cheeseburgers

you always have a knack of not only explaining seemingly complex concepts simply, but also making seemingly complex results from simple concepts. bravo!

THIS WAS SO GOOD, I have absolutely zero experience with blender and I made one in 15 mins with your tutorial! Great one!

This was insane, the fact that you explained the power of this technique by making something of an actual short film quality (and your intro is also part of it as well). "This is the last one I promise" that was hilarious, even though I could watch your quality all day.

He got us in the first half not gonna lie. Just imagine the shading possibilities. Absolute legend, earned a sub.

This is incredible! I’ll need to rewatch it at 25% speed to keep up but you’ve given us such a powerful workflow!

Never seen someone teaching blender this good. I like it. Another.

Great tutorial. Anyone having an issue with black svg (no color), make sure while Exporting (in Ai) under Advanced Options & CSS Properties drop-down, SVG export settings is set to "Presentation Attributes". Imported SVG will now have colors.

Why on earth would anyone give this a thumbs down is beyond me. This is a wonderfully structured, well designed, and well articulated FREE tutorial to use with a FREE software. Thanks for this amazing video.

If anybody is having trouble with colours importing with the SVG graphic, you need to change the colour mode to RGB. In Illustrator, this can be done under FILE> Document Color Mode > RBG Color.

I've been struggling with how to start learning, and THIS taught me literally so much in such a short time. Thank you.

The ending went insane lmfaooooo I’m hooked Never wanted to learn rendering so bad

Amazing, quick and informative tutorial. Nothing felt missing or confusing as a beginner. Thank you!

The Blender community is enriched because of awesome people like you. These videos are magnificent. Well done. And thank you SO MUCH!

These 'snappy' and straight to the point kind of tutorials are on a whole new level; actually incredible! And those last 2 minutes.. Damn dude! So professional and clean!

Beautiful, simple, direct. Not doing tricking and complicated uses of boring nodes. love it

Idk why this is being recommended to me, I don't use Blender, but apparently this helps people, so good job.

I watched your previous tutorials long time ago and re-watching them and then watching this just blew my mind that how can you go beyond perfection?!

I have been trying to find a solution for an animation that started of as a vector image in Illustrator for a month now, and just like that RU-vid recommended me this video! Even though it is not about animation it solves my problem because it saves me a bunch of time if I can just take my SVG and upload it directly on Blender! Thank you so much for this tutorial! Short, simple and straight to the point! You've got yourself a new (and very happy) subscriber!

This short video taught me more than what many blender tutorial videos ever did. Learn by watching others do real work is probably better than listening to the hows and the whys and the what-ifs.

The amount of information in your video is insane. You are really skilful with blender. Thanks for your tutorials.

I love how crazy intense the final section became outta nowhere. Really loved it.

I love how clean his renders look. I have used so many things from his tutorials. Incredible as always.

I use to see this tutorial on my RU-vid timeline but i never click on it and watch it but today i did and im like wow this is the one of best blender tutorial i never seen thank you so much for this masterpiece i hope that you continue doing this and let us learn from you

This was more amazing then I expected. Very useful!

Wow, I really want to thank you for this, I have been making SVG's of my own and I didn't even know blender could do this until this was recommended to me

really really amazing, man. The quick tutorial at the end to make the intro was very nice too. SUPERB😍😍

Holy cow, I have never shown huge interest in 3d design but you got me really interested and motivated to delve deeper into it.

Insane, the possibilities are amazing ! thanks for this tutorial 👏

This is probably one of the best Blender Tutorials I’ve seen. The hungry RU-vid viewers demand more!

Dang, you explained it so well that after the first watch, I could do like 95 percent of it, by memory. You earned yourself a brand new subscriber!

i love how unnecessarily hype that ending was. instant subscribe

Dude, you are crazy in the best way possible. You're fast, accurate, and your explanations are great. I love that you don't waste time with fluff, and you understand that if we miss something, we can simply pause the video and go back, slow it down, whatever we need to do but for those of us who move quick? These videos are a freaking god send and you're the man. Thanks for the great instructional and giving us your time. It's appreciated.

Wow, that ending presentation is so well done!

The quality of these tutorials is just insane!!! Big fan.

That's the best tutorial I've ever seen, so much information in 10min. Amazing work man!

Just showing the potential of simple method with various example at the end was really great

Damn, the quality!!!! Love your attention to detail man.

The professional way to explain in a quick and understandable Form. Simply the best Blender Man ;) love your tutorials!

Your delivery on content is just absolutely outstanding! Please do more!

I don't even have Blender on my Laptop but wow, you've made this whole thing so interesting to watch and follow. Feel like giving it a try, looks so fun

This makes me want to start learning graphic design. That ending escalated to a whole new different level!

I've been using this method for some time, but you really just took it and got it to the super next level. The finel thoughs of this video honestly made me euphoric because I clients that would love exactly that kinda stuff. Man, I bet your patreon worths every cent

you know when it heads toward to the end of a video, people normally close or click on another video. but this....my jaws remained dropped. great video!

Not only really helpful and well-presented info, but a beautifully made video!

This is literally the best Blender tutorial I've every seen, you just put so much effort in your videos. Keep up the good work!

The amount of work that went into making this tutorial - INCREDIBLE

The lighting makes a huge difference

Your editing in the last part of the video is everything.

THE RETURN OF THE KING!!!

Man your videos have always been super high quality with all the sound and music designs to the actual tutorial but this is next level!! Subbed!

That ending over there, is the most precious thing you could receive as a graphic designer.

This looks super simple and easy, let's see how many issues I can create now while trying to follow it. Not had the best of luck trying to follow some guides they move too quick

i just love how you're giving some practical uses of your tutorials. reminds me of andrew kramer without the puns :D

I can't believe how easy it looks. I tried using blender once and I'm still recovering emotionally from the trauma. Then again I was in 2D mode, so maybe 3D is just easier or something.

The music and the overall production quality is just amazing! Now you are in my quality RU-vidr's list.

Man your guides are great and motivating

So it turns out all these years in Illustrator has paid off, this is the best jumping point for me learning 3D.

I've just found out about your channel with this video and it is inspiring. I was feeling little bit down about my works but seeing such creative stuff really gives me inspiration and desire to create new pieces. Thank you and nice to meet you. :)

I didn’t skip anything it was so good to see something this cool.

BRO!!! These Tutorials are amazing!!! you have found your calling!!! keep up this tremendous quality you're providing to the community!!1

Watching your tutorials is like watching a Oscar winning movie. Everything is perfect

this is amazing, never knew how blender worked but this was so easy to understand!

Literally the best tutorial i have ever seen

9:16 "this is the last one I promise". Nah, we want more.

4:58 I never knew a burger can look so terrified and terrifying at the same time!

Very solid. One of the best tutorials out there.

that was a wonderful tutorial but also the ending showing the possibilities was awesome. Thank you for sharing!

I absolutely love your content man! Watched all your vids this week and can't wait for more. Really inspiring! Music is great too, combined with the perfect editing. May I ask what the name of the intro song is?

perfect HAmburger 🍔

Amazing! The most entertaining 3D graphix tutorials channel! Thanks a lot!

Wow, absolutely mind blowing! Thank you so much for your tutorial, my world has just opened up. The last 5mins as well, Incredible!!

Amazing work! I just got introduced to blender and this is just wow haha. Also the music is a banger, what background music is that?

The quality of your content is next level. 👏👏 Keep them coming.

Already feeling a lot happy after watching the video till the end.

You make me really want to go into artistic things right now. Thanks a lot!

last few minutes is just awesome! where do you get your music?

Wonderful tutorial! On a side note: How is that first music track called? thanks.

I’ve been using illustrator, photoshop, tinker cad, and Keyshot for years… you finally broke me out of thinking they were enough. Thanks!

I have been consistently learning different things in Blender for the past 4 or 5 months, and every time I think of something different or new that I may want to try doing in the software, there has always been some way to do it. So far there has never been a single thing I've wanted to try that Blender could NOT do, whether it's viable by a script, an addon, or just a native built-in feature. I think this is the most powerful aspect of Blender: there may be better programs out there to do specific tasks, but Blender seems to truly be a jack of all trades and manages to be a pretty good master in a lot of things you wouldn't expect it to be good at. And if there's something you want to do that you can't do...someone out there is probably making an addon for it right now, or an entirely different build of the software all together. I never would have expected Blender to be solid with creating 2D animations from a 3D workflow, things like logos, animated intros and outros, etc. I would expect to rely on software like Premiere or After Effects to do things like that. But here we are, doing this exact thing in totally free software that is built around modeling three dimensional objects. Seriously, is there anything Blender CAN'T do? I imagine the list of things it can't do is much shorter than the list of all the things it can do. It blows my mind that this is completely free.

5:13 that music in the background, the only thing i can think of is binging with babish

Can you do a tutorial on how to do that wave you did at 9:40 without having to key every letter? Thanks in advance

The last part of this video is just very amazing!!! Nice work man!!

My favorite tutorial (series) so far!! Chock full of amazing tips and trick.

that lil animation at 09:09 was absolute fire! your work is amazing!!

I lick SVGs when no one is watching.

Awesome! truly appreciate you holding my hand through this

That’s not fair! Holly, your videos are beautiful to watch from start to finish. You really know what you’re doing. Amazing, just amazing.

Would someone know where to find the music used in this video?

impressive rendering... btw does anyone know the ending music? can't find it, but I like the rhythm of it.

What an insanely good tutorial thank you!!

bro. I just learned SOOOO much more than what this video was about. thank you

love it!! One simple and unrelated question: what's the name of the song? lol
