What I mean by this is if in Illustrator, you did a lot of Pathfinder operations such as Subract/Add and others, then the shapes that you added or subtracted may come along for the ride in the. Sometimes choosing “Separate Curves” has helped me when I have a stubborn path with some sort of “Ghost” paths in it. So huge you can’t even see it without pressing the Home key to fit everything into the screen. You’ll want to make sure that you choose one or both of the “Clamp Width/Height” buttons, otherwise your path could come in huge. svgz and select it, then click the “Import SVG” button that should appear in the top right.Ĭlicking this will pop up another dialogue with some import options. Then navigate to wherever you saved your. Then you’ll have to choose “Inkscape (svg)” from the next drop down that appears. Once Blender is opened, you’ll go to File>Import>Paths (.svg. svgz file is exported, and you can bring it into Blender now. Don’t bother changing anything in this window I actually don’t touch anything in here, I just click the “OK” button. You’ll get another dialogue window that pops up. Choose SVG Compressed (svgz) from the ‘Format’ menu So you’ll go to ‘File>Save As…’, then choose SVG Compressed (svgz) from the ‘Format’ menu. It sure looks like Blender can import a whole bunch of files, but to me the only one that works consistently is to save as a compressed svg file (.svgz). So, I now need to save this file as something that Blender can import. This is the path I created in Illustrator to be imported into Blender Blender sometimes starts causing trouble if you try to import too many paths that aren’t connected. I try to always stick to one enclosed shape, if possible. They have a logic to them, but it’s hard to see that logic at first.Īnyway, let’s just say you have your shape finished. I felt the same way when I started over 10 years ago. Working with the Bezier curves can be an ordeal for the neophyte, so if you’re just starting and have trouble with it, don’t feel bad. The thing is, I’m much more proficient in Illustrator and using the modifier keys in there, so it’s quicker and easier for me to create any shape I want in that program. To begin, first of all, Blender actually has some pretty decent vector tools, so I could have drawn the shape right in there. Once you get the path in there, you can always just open that file in the 2.5 Alpha. I tried using the 2.5 Alpha, but it didn’t look like all the import options were in there yet. I should say that I’m using Illustrator CS4, but you should be able to do this probably all the way back to version CS. I thought I’d write this up because it took me a while to figure out a reliable method.
I’m working on a weapon for one of my characters from my online novel True Tales of the Soryan Order, and I started it as a vector from Adobe Illustrator.
