Multi-layered SVG Workflow (Inkscape + Blender)

[@RunTheTape]

Your channels are the only ones on which I push the like button before the video starts.

[@RHOCHR]

I also do that. I just know that the video will be cool.

[@ChristinaMcKay]

Me too!

[@TruthSurge]

Why didn't you move THROUGH the layers from back to front so that the globs of color masses accumulate to form the tiger one layer at a time? THAT would have been amazing! It's nice turning but I think moving literally through the layers would have been the bomb!

[@julzius6796]

the way you navigate and use Blender to its full capacity is godly 🙏and a pleasure to watch

[@Polyfjord2]

Thanks so much my friend!!

[@KrunoslavStifter]

I was just using Resolve Fusion for this. Since they have script on reactor to split the bitmap into vector paths, and new extrude option lets it extrude. Its well timed. Because just before the new option came out, I was looking at Inkscape to do something similar, but with Fusion instead of Blender. So many options. Kudos.

[@Polyfjord2]

Nice! I had no idea you could do that! There are also some websites that offer automatic PNG to SVG conversions, but I really like the sliders in Inkscape, especially being able to preview the layers in real time

[@KrunoslavStifter]

@@Polyfjord2 Great. Yeah. Fusion has some really interesting things you can do with motion graphics and rudimentary 3D. Or off course compositing ready made 3D and 2D elements. I think your method is probably a bit more cleaner and with more control, but in a pinch of for people who maybe use Fusion already, there is that other way. Anyway, love your creativity and these videos. Keep them coming. Cheers!

[@footerballer1]

Pure brilliance in every meaning of the word. Simply superb!!!

[@ChristinaMcKay]

7:00 "This looks like an art installation". - It IS an art installation, done by a true artist - you! Incredible, thanks so much for sharing! After seeing this, there are so many ideas running through my head. The first thing I will do with this technique is a background for a 2D/3D project. I wanted to do the background in 3D and paint in some stuff, but don't have time to do the whole background in 3D atm. This technique will do great for the background!

[@aaronstanley6914]

These a simpler way to turn a 2dimage into a 3d background. Google "Camera Mapping - 3D Cameras for 2D Animation" by olof storm

[@AnkiSandinge]

Wow this is awesome! I just love it. Thanks for sharing!

[@lupalupa9089]

Hey! I love you channel and your work. Your passion really shows. I’m new to blender and want to follow your videos but I cannot when you go soo fast and sometimes jump cut. Slowing down would be really helpful! Thank you!!

[@phy6geniuxYTcreations]

I pressed subscribed before I even press play. EDIT: I followed everything here and I got a different result, but I'm happy. So much learning in one video!

[@WittyDZN]

this is such an powerful technique with svg. imagine wave texture with this technique with volumetric and spotlight behind svg would look.

[@1Chitus]

Thanks for sharing! Excellent job!

[@shahbokhari]

That is a very cool and unique technique and the coloring and depth of field was on the spot. Simply amazing! Thank You

[@zeeyannosse]

hahhaaa!! thanks ! love your enthusiastic vibes sharing impressions while making the stuff !!! this is a really great energy-sharing tutorial !!! thank you ! yann.

[@niro1960]

first I wanted to click it away -> but then I got stunned!

[@pallenda]

I would have tried it with the brighter colors in the front and black in the back. Cool stuff!

[@Gametime05577]

Thanks for make this tutorial for free

[@vinayverma631]

Bruh, I really loved the technique And even I have a trick to keep every selected layer to an arbitrary distance without going to chatgpt. So you just have to select all the object you want to move, then go to option button at the right corner of the 3d viewport and select location. And that's it now you can scale with your mouse, it will only affect the location and not the scaling. Thanks fpr sharing the tutorial brother❤

[@oDanielSas]

This looks like a movie producer intro scene! Amazing

[@gbcreativework]

Thank you for this tut. Always love watching how you light up your scenes. Inkscape is wow!😀

[@ricarda4846]

Amazing. Great idea and production

[@LadyParysatis]

That is really cool! I love Inkscape very much. 😊💚

[@o_w_d]

sincere thanks for such high-quality videos

[@PhotiniByDesign]

I made something similar to this a couple of months back, it's a brilliant technique which can be adapted to a variety of different use cases, it was great to see your take on this 🙂

[@OdiKrause]

parenting an empty to the camera to get the rotation. nice little unmentioned gem. #TIL Thanks!

[@mohammad_prh6984]

Great tutorial you gain a new Subscriber, also wanna tell you something funny, when you were about to write script i was exactly had this thought in mind that i can use CHAT GPT to write the script that is comming, that's because i've been using it for a while now, and then you just pointed at it, i got surprised🤣 nice one

[@Polyfjord2]

Haha amazing! Great minds think alike!

[@joshr.696]

There is a contemporary artist named David Spriggs who does physical sculptures in a similar fashion. Neat video!

[@aaronstanley6914]

Also a guy named Michael Murphy does quite a bit of this kind of art, my favorite peices of his are portal(tvs integration into the peice for a dynamic experience) and young popes, problem is he a bit of a dick and full of himself claiming the invention of the technique (called it digital halftone or something irrc) but people were making this kind of art for ages for instance a man named Jesús Rafael Soto made his magnum opus a 20 meter squared sphere out of smaller spheres all the way back in 1994 in Caracas Venezuela.

[@Hiro-jy1xy]

Sooooo Goood! 😀

[@krzysztofdziubek6577]

It's hard to set up the camera that the layers were properly visible, you did it with ease. Respect! Any tips?

[@nadimmahamud1856]

This is really cool..Thanks so much for sharing

that was fast XD, but perfect tutorials thanks this its the next one

[@craigcannon4958]

Wonderful tutorial!! I wanted to do something similar with a client's logo but I'm not too familiar with Blender. Is there a place where I can find a step-by-step tutorial for this? Thanks again for this tutorial. Brilliant.

[@im-nassinger]

It would be cool to see this scene with orthographic rendering enabled 🙂

[@thabothema6890]

This is Super Cool

[@uvwwuv4363]

Can we get more videos like that where you just make something cool on the go

[@vbr2655]

Could you make a video that how to convert blender 3d file into offline HTML file for presenting to client.

[@dellinger71]

Really nice, but how exactly did you expand the background around the corner?

[@lightingstar7316]

i get the same question brp 😂😂

[@neilmarshall5087]

Its got a Bevel Modifier on it. He extruded up the face then merged the top vertices at the corner

[@sajidhussain100]

Amazing bro

[@Tonymark57]

Wow, i was so bored from the first video, but this one is actualy looks interesting and usefull

[@sobreaver]

And then you can animate those layers ?! :P ya know, for special FX, demanding bosses and shts n giggles :)

[@peakzrl9995]

Nice video, Nice outro too :)

[@d_bloom]

When you say at 5:28, "is this possible?", how did you extrude the edge with the bevel in place? I understand the merge by distance, but it's the step right before the merge I can't replicate.

[@shiconotebook]

Because he already applied "Bevel" before (when he extruded the first edge), all you need to do is go back to "Edit" mode and extrude the second edge up and it will already be bevelled.

[@lyesakkouche8285]

oh boy !!

[@JMW1906]

You could also use the original image on the layers you've imported, to get more detail. Basically projecting the original image from the front. You don't loose the layers, it should be little effort to sample the texture and you get more details. Unless you wanted to go for the single color look of course.

[@vbr2655]

Could you suggest what GPU you using??

[@asamed5563]

hi can you SHARE OR give me the preset of the "Tiger 3D" to turn my logo into that model? tnx a lot for the tutorials.

thx for interesting tutorial. can you please explain how you did additional vertical wall @5:30 and merge it to existing bevel with additional bevel?

it takes forever to import in blender?

[@ProductGuy4you]

Hi, each time when I import svg file to blender, Blender is not responding. Any one can help

[@cyberspider78910]

Can you use this concept to creat 3D model right away, try---you seem to be like 'Guru' person to me (psst...I need only a few clicks on Blender that's why !)

[@katerinahrdlickova4319]

i just thing you should not try to script in blender withould knowing python xxD use chad GPT is a lot easier xxD... when im looking on this shadow on the floor, it would be cool if the shadow look like another animal like do you know the 3D pictures thad from diferent angle look like diferent pictures? that would be very cool in blender you should do it in next tutorial

[@calebj7205]

Great tutorial! Thank you! At 4:45, why do you do "Alt + S" after having scaled the paths on the Y-axis? I know "Alt+S" is to scale on normals for cuves but I dont understand why you applied it here. Thanks :-)

[@Polyfjord2]

It’s just to reset the scale after scaling them. It’s not super easy to see here, but if I had scaled it like 5 times, the bevel angle would have been a bit deformed

[@calebj7205]

@@Polyfjord2 Got u now! Thank you very much!

[@xahidulislam8168]

A request: if you stop talking when you move to the advance section,please do a voice over after you recorded the video.then both beginner and the advance people can follow along.your videos are amazing.I understand that you get very invested in the project that sometime you forgot to say something.a voice over will be nice for all of us.

If you have the layers in a collection and instance the collection along an edge or a curve........ No need for AI. By next week you will have worked out how to make the side view look like another image.

How much time did it take for you to render on your 4090? Is my little 3050 gonna handle it?

[@Polyfjord2]

Yes it will handle it! I rendered it on a 4080 in a few hours at 1920x1080. Not sure exactly how long it took, but it wasn’t unbearable

[@meh2063]

​@@Polyfjord2breh few hours

[@meh2063]

​@@Polyfjord2decrease the resolution of the curves by going to resolution option, select all the curves and hold alt and reduce the resolution number to 3 instead of 12

[@Polyfjord2]

@@meh2063 I did it at 04:03! Although since this ended up being a static object, you can have as high resolution as your memory allows, and enable Persistent Data before rendering! That will render just as fast as a low res curve, as long as you have enough VRAM

[@elarcadenoah9000]

u can make a ghost tiguer with this technique jumping over a soccer player when he makes a goal

[@bUildYT]

i did exactly what u did but i have only one layer:/ different colours but all r one path/object, why?

[@bUildYT]

ah ok i figured it out, probably at least 33% of all people will fall for that, there r 2 different SVG imports, only the scalable vector graphics makes it as different layers, dont choose the greeze pencil one... oh and Poly not sure if its cool to use Chat GPT :/ if it continues like that in 5 years everybody will be able to write promts "hey make a hollywood movie for me" we as artists should not support that...

[@seriousbeing7328]

@@bUildYT AI is deeply embedded into the 3D Workflow already, few people stopping it won't do anything. You might as well use it to save time. And not using it, isn't going to stop hollywood. They are a business.

bro why don't use geometry node?why don't change svg use video files?

[@Beryesa.]

I thought you'll suggest some good docs/tutorial, wasn't expecting gpt 😂

[@gordonbrinkmann]

I guess instead of asking ChatGPT I would have been quicker setting it up in Geometry Nodes, simply dragging the collection into it and moving layers up on the Z axis by their index.

[@matthodges]

Nice one. I had the same thought. Make sure to use Separate Children, of course.

hi, I downloaded Inkscape, but it won't load for me...can you offer any help ?

[@maxsalov9521]

Thanks for the tiger guide. I'll go buy a more powerful computer. My video card just doesn’t draw a million faces for render pics. I've long thought that 3D has a high barrier to entry. The way it is. I could easily programming algorithms on the same device for 15 years, but in the world of game design, just having a laptop or PC is not enough. It's important to have 12GB VRAM... Good day...

[@aaronstanley6914]

@polyjford do i have your permission to make a revised version of this in irl?

[@Polyfjord2]

I'm not sure if I understand!! I don't own any rights to this workflow, so feel free to go crazy!

[@goncalocastro9203]

Does anyone know how to to this in illustrator? Every time I try to do it, even if the objects in the layers are in a group, or even if I click to unite in the pathfinder, it always imports to blender seperated only by curves, and not the actual layers that I had previously in Illustrator.. The only way I can think of is to export each layer individually and the import them seperately as well, and that seems like a lot of unecessary work xD
