![]() ![]() This difference command is me subtracting my Import("C:\Users\Vicky\Google Drive\Personal\Blender\Pumpkin Pendants\template-glowing-pumpkin.stl", convexity=10) This is me importing in my base pumpkin template If you’d like to explore this option further, my OpenSCAD code is below for reference and you may also want to refer to CubeHero’s Emboss and Impress Images onto a Surface in OpenSCAD article. ![]() And then anytime I wanted to scroll or examine my object, I would have to wait again.ĭisclaimer- It very well could be my old laptop from 2010 that has dwindling harddrive space…courtesy of all my 3D modeling. But the rendering times were sooooo long. I do truly believe OpenSCAD could be a viable option. I got it carved out, albeit a lot smaller than I wanted. At this point, all I would need to do is position it, size it, and subtract it from my pre-existing pumpkin template. It did make my face surface as planned… but it had a bottom plane underneath it. Since my image was Black and White, it should give me a template to carve out of my pumpkin. It uses the greyscale values of an image to determine the various heights of a surface. Looking over the OpenSCAD documentation, it looked like I might be able to use the Surface feature to achieve my goal. I grabbed a Sharpie, drew a face and scanned it as a black and white image. ![]() I would just need to make their face into a model and subtract it from my pumpkin. I want people to draw/design their own pumpkin faces. My ultimate game plan with the Glowing Pumpkin Pendants is to take advantage of one of the great perks of 3D printing– customization. If you are in the area, stop by and see us! We’ll also have our Kinect on hand in case anyone wants to get themselves scanned. Weather permitting, Ryan and I will be bringing the MakerGear M2 down and have it running. It’s official– TGAW 3D is the show’s very first 3D Printing Booth! Hopefully, we’ll be setting a trend for future shows.Įven better news– our booth is going to be adjacent to my brother’s shop, which means we’ll have access to power. Occoquan Arts and Craft Show – September 26th and 27th!įirst off, I’m in! My application to the Fall Occoquan Arts and Crafts Show has been accepted (with multiple explanation marks from the show director). And then you have a 3D Object in Blender from an SVG file.If you can you the mouse to size or type in a measurement– for example 0.5 for 0.5mm. Go to Extrude->Region to give your 2D Object some Depth.With your newly converted Mesh selected, switch to Edit mode.If you want to get rid of that, click on the Materials icon for your object, click on the black material and hit – to get rid of it. The SVGs import in with a Default Material. Later when I learned about Materials, it will started to click. When I was new to Blender and Inkscape, I could not figure out why my Inkscape SVGs were all black… and I just did not know enough to find the right keywords to Google. You can do that by going to Object->Convert to->Mesh from Curve/Meta/Serf/Text You’ll want to convert it to a Mesh before doing anything with it. Then I can change all the Transform coordinates to 0,0,0 to center my new SVG.I do that by going to Object->Transform->Center of Mass Sometimes resizing it takes it off the screen and the Object’s Origin is not very intuitive For that, I change the Object’s Origin to the Center of the Mass.Resize the object so you can see it better.If you look to the right in your Objects listing, you can see a new “Curve” that was not there before. It looks like nothing happened, but your SVG is there.File->Import->Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg) I figured I should document my process at pulling and prepping those files in Blender. (My breakthrough came when I started saving as a “ Plain SVG” format instead of an “Inkscape SVG” format). Despite some earlier blog posts on the matter, I have become fond of using Inkscape to make SVG files for my 3D Models. ![]()
