In this video I will show you how to create a solid 3d object from an image by first creating an svg image in Gimp image editor, and than converting an svg image to a solid 3d object in Blender.
Blender is a professional, free and open-source 3D computer graphics software toolset used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D printed models, interactive 3D applications and video games. Blender’s features include 3D modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, raster graphics editing, rigging and skinning, fluid and smoke simulation, particle simulation, soft body simulation, sculpting, animating, match moving, camera tracking, rendering, motion graphics, video editing and compositing. It also features an integrated game engine.

Hi hi when i render my image wont show up in the folder way is that got any tips for me?
Thanks for a great tutorial
rendered 500 times now desktop looks like a waste paper bin.
Finally somebody who explains this in a manner that a layperson can understand! Thank you so much!
Was not looking forward to building a commonly known object from one of the mesh's. Thank you for this!
This video solved a file formatting problem that has haunted me for years. Blender does things well that expensive 3D programs won't do at all. This video helped me solve my file problem on my first day with Blender. Huge thanks to Chipper Videos!
I do not have a svg in my gmp
That "Alt+C" command was crucial for converting the object into a model. Thank you, sir, thanks.
i selected all but i am not able to see gray color in selected mode
but i can select and see black color which is owe for me
i can not see all properly.
please suggest me. what to do
Great tutorial on TWO topics in one. First this video provides a great introduction to some basic UI features and techniques for navigating the Blender interface (and a little Gimp). I suffered through a different tutorial earlier as the creator used hotkey after hotkey without even mentioning them. Menu's just popped up in the video as if from magic without even a breadcrumb trail to follow back. This instructor provides excellent directions even if you're only starting with Blender.
Second, this is a solid and simple walkthrough to make a 3D object. He could have used an object created in Blender (like a Text object), but by using a Gimp SVG, he really delivers a powerful and reusable technique that feels like a foundational skill for anyone using Blender. Fantastic result.
Great video. Thanks!
than you for the video!
The ALT + C shortcut isn't working for me. Can anyone help?
Does anyone know what "alt + c" do? I know it converts the object to a mesh from… but what does that do to the image. I didn't see any changes.
when a search for my photo to import i see only folders and l tap on folder all folder are empty why
Thanks a lot
This is really helpful and amazing
Thanks a lot
This is really helpful and amazing
This is by far one of the best video tutorials on any topic! Clear, perfect pacing, easy to know exactly what to click, and – IT WORKS!!!! lol thx very very much! I learned a ton, and I've got like an hour total time in blender before trying this!!!
Buenisimo!! no conocia esta tecnica.
Gracias!!
Cool. Never tought you can do this type off stuff:P
Great video. Very informative and to the point.
really cool but filtering out the noise is really simple. just use audacity and use a noise reducer.
Nice work, thanks.
Most of these teachers start in the middle and I don't know how they got there. This is PERFECT teaching, methodial, slow, and demonstrative. Thank you so much!
Amazing tutorial. Thank you very much for your valuable time. 😀
Your videos is absolutely perfect. You speak slowly and clearly and you give the watcher more than enough time to do what you are explaining needs to be done. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you and the fact that you have taken your time to help people like myself. Thank you! I am subscribing!
When i click import svg, it doesnt show up?
Great video, its just whenever I do it at least 1 letter is severely distorted when I add a bevel, instead of curving out it curves in and looks really weird.
Awesome video. Thanks
Why is it that when you follow the instructions in the tutorials they don't work as shown?
This helped a lot – thank you so much!
i didnt get that good quality:(
Best Video EVER!!
