Convert .SVG File Into 3D | Blender EASY Tutorial

hello guys and welcome to a quick blender tutorial today I'm going to be showing you guys how to take an SVG file which stands for scalable Vector graphic you can get thousands millions of them for free online and then bring it into blender and literally in less than 30 seconds you can turn it into a 3D model I'm going to go through the process here I hope you guys enjoyed this share some of the results you get on the group Discord server which you'll find in the description below um that's free to join and um yeah let's jump right into it I hope you guys learned something from this I'll actually be showing you where you can get all of these resources because if you go into the description below I'll have a link to this exact file over here this is just kind of this venomous snakes or ad thing that I think looks really cool you can come on the site which is free and pick from thousands of different options okay I'm going to go with this one and once you have the link open you're going to click on download SVG I've already done that and I've just placed that SVG file on my desktop okay so what I'm going to do is I'm going to launch blender in this case I'm using 3.32 and what you're going to do it's super simple you can go to file and you're going to go to import and you're going to go over to this option here called SVG which is scalable vector graphics okay so just click on that and then go to wherever it is on your computer you have it maybe in your downloads your desktop wherever I'm just going to click on that file and here you can see if I press Z and go to the wireframe it's really small but what you're going to do is you're going to select that SVG file and you're going to go s and scale it up you can see just some writing that came in with it you can just select all of that and just press X and delete it we only want this snake gets imported so a useful thing is if you press 7 on your number pad to go into your top or for graphic view it's easier to work with this and uh let's just quickly scale it up even a bit more and if You tab into edit mode you're going to actually see that this is made out of Curves right it's not an actual mesh we'll get to that in a second okay but what you can do now is um because you can see the origin Point actually sits here in edit mode you can simply just press a to select all of this and then go g and move it more to the middle tab back into object mode and let's just delete this Cube here get it out of the way and also with the snake here or whatever object you import it go to your materials and just get rid of the material that's imported you can add whatever material you want to that but you can see here we can see it a lot better now now there are a few things you can do here to turn this into a three-dimensional object so let's look at a few so let's just um start by going shift d to duplicate and let's just move it over somewhere guess we have a version of this so what you can do is you can go press F3 with that selected and you can type in convert you can see here convert to mesh and if you now tap into edit mode you have an actual mesh how be it a very messy one and you can now go you can give that a solidify modifier you can also do the same thing with the SVG one it's um the one that's made out of the curves here you can give that a solidifier as well that's a little bit messy so what we're going to do I'll get rid of this one that we just turned into a mesh get rid of this solidify with this one here this made out the curves if you go over to your curve settings you're going to see over here under the geometry we've got some interesting things here number one we've got the extrude here so if you use that extrude it does a much better job so you can give this as much thickness as you want so I'm going to go with about something like that looks really cool but at the moment it looks really sharp so what you can do is you can go down to the bevel option and then come here and then just increase the depth of that bevel here I'd make it something really small like point zero one in this case um what we may have to do is go control a or command a and just apply that scale because we scaled it in object mode and uh then just drag that value even smaller so we might go for something really small here so in this case um .001 is small enough and this here determines the resolution of your bevel right so now it's one you can see it's looking very sharp for a bevel but if you increase this it's looking a lot more rounded out so if you ever get any kind of weird artifacts um you can actually go in to here in edit mode anytime you want and you can actually move some of this geometry around in fact you can see here I've just not these nostrils here there's freestanding curves here you can just select them and you can move them around you can actually edit this geometry anytime you want for example here you can see we have some of them pinching a little bit so I can select this handle here move it out a little bit scale it maybe grab the little handles and adjust it just to make that look a little bit nicer there maybe grab this handle up here scale that a little bit you guys get the idea here you can at any time edit the geometry by just coming in here and messing around with the curves making things look nice so you can see over here it's also a little bit messy but the more you mess around with it mess around with the size of this bevel I might even make it smaller point zero zero zero nine um but yeah that is how to turn SVG files scalable vector graphics in two 3D models and you can now go ahead throw a material in here render it now obviously we're looking at this from a top offer graphic so you can just select it and go r x nine zero press enter so when you go into your front orthographic it makes more sense but yeah that's been the tutorial on how to turn SVG files into 3D models I'll see you guys next time for another
