Tutorial: Easy 2D Image to 3D Render Workflow (100% Open Source)

[@muscle__rr]

The last 2 mins of your videos is the real gem. So much information Crammed into 2 min 🔥🔥

[@sumynona.01]

and the outro animation

[@carlyoung8723]

I'm gonna be that guy but: Crammed*

[@muscle__rr]

@@carlyoung8723 Thanks man, appreciate it

Faaacking HEll🙆‍♂🙆‍♂🙆‍♂

[@sintelaris]

I will never stop admiring your efficiency in workflow, and creativity in approach and ideas.

[@MidhunNotFound]

Perfectly timed. I’m working on a project like this. This video will make it much easier. I’m sure ❤

[@ryanoc333]

Same here. I've been trying some online tools, and getting frustrated this week. I just tried this with a few images, and it works great.

[@MuzammilArshad-z7y]

Which software use before blender please tell me

[@skarfie123]

I never knew you could do that with inkscape. That is absolutely wild. Ive been manually tracing the curves in blender until now

[@AHSEN.]

There's actually a bunch of online image to svg converters available too! Works without installation, just check google.

[@JavaJack59]

Same, although, sometimes the manual approach pays off to get perfect sharp corners in some areas.

[@AHSEN.]

@@JavaJack59 can also edit the automatically generated result to get perfection :P

[@hammerheadcorvette4]

Inkscape Challenges Adobe Illustrator in every way.

[@MalcolmBlakeSeeAndHear]

@@hammerheadcorvette4 I can second that. Without Inkscape (and many other lovingly made-free open source tools) I wouldn't be able to eat hahaha.

[@madalinluca3179]

I guess your secret is that you always keep it simple, every beginner could easily follow every step. Thank you for every info you share!

[@aymanehammi]

I just love how you make examples of how tutorial can be used and give inspiration, love your work as always, thank you sir🔥🔥

[@galaktikstudio]

You kept me entertained. You taught me something amazing. Your GPU said hi to me and you blew my mind right at the end with limitless possibilities. Thank you, for your amazing video!

[@Polyfjord]

Haha thanks for the amazing comment!! My GPU is missing you already

[@ABOUDIBRAHIM-h4j]

the more videos I watch, the more i am impressed, great video ! it is inspiring trust me

[@dialectricStudios]

You can do the image to curve in blender directly. Drag image into project, right click and select "trace image to grease pencil". Then you can convert to curves and do geo nodes stuff on it

[@AbdullahAhmed-qw9ts]

Hey I tried dragging it from photoshop but no luck

[@rogerotakufernandez5995]

Does that image needs to be in svg format or it can be in any format?

[@cold8812]

You my friend are the best blender creator I've ever seen. Such a huge inspiration, great job

[@brucemarshall1439]

Hear hear!!

[@stevanokrajnov8101]

man iv'e been on yt for like 10+ years, and i found you just a couple of hrs ago here, man, ur my FAVOURITE KZbinR

[@RAZR_Channel]

1 PERFECT Tutorial (regardless of subject): Straight to the points without the brutalizing CTA other channels put out sometimes up to 3 times per video... This channel will do Very Well with this format... (+1 subscriber)

[@Old_Man_Flash]

That workload is actually quite useful when taking assets someone already has and to modify it animate and apply polish.

[@hodaismail7692]

To be honest your passion, creativity and efficiency in teaching has motivated me to embrace the challenging side of 3D model. Thanks for this piece of art!

[@BDsRangers]

14:44 The beginning of a journey! These last 2 minutes felt like fantasy! Thank you so much!❤

[@sunny_sky_music]

5:00 gotta love the HYTE Y7 pc chassis. one of the best designs for a chassis, looks awesome plus there's a touchscreen version

[@Wojecki]

SVG is such a good file format. It is awesome for 3D design and web design, glad that you covered this subject

[@ipop1565]

youre just insane bro, thanks a lot for these tutorials

[@SCAN-HEAR]

Mind BLOWN!! That last bit with the lion is phenomenal! Need that tutorial for sure!!!

[@Polyfjord]

@@SCAN-HEAR thank you my friend!! Yeah tutorial is on my second channel! Link in description

[@King-overkill]

I love these videos, so helpful thanks

[@bUildYT]

16:00 goosebumps

[@Norbert_Haupt]

Such high level polished tutorials are rare on KZbin, Great work - Thanks!

[@Jfaups08]

This is a first for me, commenting about the sponsorship part of the video. The way you described the creative’s mindset makes so much sense, I’ve never heard it put hat way. Just want to say thank you for that.

[@SherifTariq]

This one video taught me more about how to use Blender in 2min than most Blender tutorials do in 2 hours! And that wasn’t even your goal!! 😄

[@ajstyles8998]

I am addicted to your channel man. Your tutorials are gold. Thanks alot ✌️

[@pbk8724]

Wow, this timing is amazing! Just wanted to convert a .png into an .svg ! Thank you so much Polyfjord!!!.

[@xahidulislam8168]

brother please make a beginner tutorial,you have a excellent detail technique to teach blender.I think beginner artist will appreciate that.this video helped me understand blender more than the Blender group playlist.please make some beginner tutorial.

[@AHSEN.]

Been using Blender for years but I still found this very enjoyable to watch. That last 2 minutes was the best part :D I'd love to see some quick videos like that showing some of your most useful workflows 👀

[@Polyfjord]

Interesting!!! Good idea!

[@AHSEN.]

@@Polyfjord at a certain level of experience, concepts begin to matter far more than technical details on the implementation. These high speed videos allow a more advanced audience to learn _very_ quickly, but I've never seen anybody else create this format before.

[@xdarkeyex]

I really liked the part after 14:37. And the tiger blew me away.

[@KimberQuests]

This is my new favorite channel I’m so excited to try some things

[@Derpduck.]

I loved the Order 66 reference! Such a great tutorial as well.

[@Deva-Jufan]

Wow! Got this personal kick out of watching this tutorial, since all the first steps of how to get a logo (or similar) into Blender is something I figured out myself when I started out learning, but then at the end it got to this mindblowing inspirational part!

[@ganemonster]

i dont need any lighting, but the first 2 mins is very helping me. No more fixing wireframe from 2d to 3d. Thanks mate

[@RTKdarling]

It's a good workflow for turning dingbat characters into scene elements as well. You can find some pretty wild and useful dingbat and shape fonts

[@benflanagan2190]

I know everyone else has been saying this but this came out at a great time, I'm making a medal and I needed to imprint an image onto it but didn't know how to do it to a high standard, and now I do

[@ShubhAgrawal]

Dude! throughout the whole video, I was so mad that it was such a roundabout way to do the simplest thing. But then, in the last 20 seconds of this video, you got that Tiger image render, and now im completely stunned with how amazing that tool was actually.

[@MuzammilArshad-z7y]

Which software use before blender please tell me

[@cedricdebaere7025]

Thank you, this was really helpful. You actually took the time to explain the way you can navigate and rotate things. Just when I was about to stop learning blender.

[@True-VFX]

Awesome video as per! Just FYI. Sensitivity with bevel and extrude are present because you didn't apply the scale after scaling.

[@Polyfjord]

Hmm in my testing sensitivity seems to be the same regardless of when I’m applying the scale. It’s always been ridiculously high for all imported SVGs

[@synkro_nyze]

That outro is the single coolest, most satisfying thing I've ever seen. Apple ain't got nothing on that.

[@Srithedesigner]

The ending was God level... Especially the tiger part and the car part... Would love to see the tutorial of that car video..

[@srsherman7]

I love doing this. I used to do it with logos all the time with illustrator and blender. Same workflow, trace path, etc. Great video!!

[@dhritiman115]

lots of love and respect to highly capable open source software Blender and Inkscape... Inkscape+Blender=Masterpiece

[@elliejohnson2786]

TIL polyfjord probably has anxiety disorder just like me :D I can see now why I'm so interested in your channel's direction

[@bentheremedia3011]

This is next level! I love how you somehow managed to pack some bonus tutorials at the end that are just as good as the actual tutorial lol. I’m excited to play around with the image slicing one and have a light animate from the front to the back to highlight different elements of the image. You’re my favorite KZbinr!

[@chrisdixonstudios]

This is a great tutorial on this subject because it acurately shows from beginning to end use in Blender's powerful presentation capabilities. Thank you!

[@atharva3d]

Definitely going to experiment with blackbody and the light shape trick.

[@itsjustmittens6186]

This is the I don't jnow how many times i saw that video everytime the video hit my home page or search i watch it since the first time i saw it i loved to try to do it knowing I don't know how to work with blender but bro your tutorial and talking is incredible i did it but yours looks amazing thx alot keep make like this video i really don't know what to say to you you're just incredible

[@epelfeld]

Converting in strokes with wiggling is really cool! It's like after effects but maybe even easier

[@Vanalleswa]

what a crazy epic tutorial! So many small things you just did, will greatly speed up my workflow! many thanks! you absolute legend!

[@lolgoodbye8197]

I have been watching you for years, and I always see you evolve every video, keep it up!

[@rabiscott8178]

You are certainly the most clever person i follow on KZbin. On top of that an absolute reference for me about open source software wich is i think one of the most important aspect, forgotten by many, about internet. 🤝 What a story telling masterclass thoses 2 last minutes. Keep the great work, i admire you.

[@xDaShaanx]

Throughout the video I was waiting for the godly sound design which you do and let me tell you, I was super impressed at last. ❤😁

[@danielbridges3786]

MY GOODNESS THE LAST TWO MINUTES ARE PERFECT. I watched your new outro several times. Cheers on the great video!

[@kodjoj6790]

Polyfjord and Smeaf are the best Blender KZbinrs right know!! ❤️❤️ Pls I beg you, pls do a collab video! 📹💜

[@Alessiucciocaro]

Best Blender channel on the planet. Period.

[@RealGaryGibson]

This is the best IMG -> CURVE tutorial I've seen!

[@matthewboyens7453]

I've been looking for the perfect tutorial to really sink my teeth into learning blender and this just might be it. Quite literally said 'wow' at the end. Keep up the great work😊

[@Dantti]

Playing with Grease pencil and SVG's is really fun. You can also trace images to Grease Pencil in Blender 😅

[@Polyfjord]

OMG I had no idea. Thanks, I'll have to check this out!!

[@Dantti]

@@Polyfjord I have a quick tutorial about it on my channel :)

[@reflex6311]

Dude the ending was hilarious.. WE BELIEVE IN THE WORKFLOW😂

[@ATLJB86]

I have many tutorials on this… This is by far the best!

[@hammerheadcorvette4]

😍😍😍 Love Inkscape ! 😍😍😍

[@randomwatcher12]

Dude! Really liked the last part you saw the different ways to use it🔥, just subscribed!

[@Yucy42]

The extra stuff you do at the end is INSANE!

[@PrinceWesterburg]

Edge Split - OMG, this is the thing I've been trying to do in Blender for years! It gives me the control on curves and text that I had in LightWave - Thanks a million! :D Why is this a plugin?!? It should be in the surface settings or perhaps they could get the Auto Smooth angle working in Blender?! One day...!

[@nemex_old_channel]

finally inkscape gets the attention it deserves ! kudos to you man

[@manishgamingEWM]

last one is worth it bro thanks man thanks

[@rafaelkgsdumpstash]

much easier than pointing vertex per vertex on the image like i thought i would need to do, like.

[@hawx786]

This is awesome for 3D printing 2D graphics 😮

Your creativity is mind blowing...each video feels like a burst of inspiration!

[@ChristinaMcKay]

Thanks so much for another great video. I first clicked on the announcement for the deep dive video, but as always: nope, stop, watch the one on the 1st channel before the deep dive video. And like always, I don't regret a single second of watching. Incredible content! And now, of course, I'll go over to the deep dive video. Can't wait to watch that as well.

[@akhiryugo6361]

Ive learned so much in one video. Not just the point he was teaching. But because he was reciting the shortcuts he's doing now I am not clueless ignorant about blender. I can now actually use it 😂 thank you.❤

[@dustmang]

Love that little animation at the end

[@reshukashyap8901]

Your endings always blow my mind

[@shinigamisama97]

I´m not the type of person who comments on videos or another kind of post but bro I just wanted to say..... DAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMNN your work is amazing!
