SVG for Blender 3D

How to use SVG into Blender 3D

• Inkscape is a free and open-source vector graphics editor used to create vector images, primarily in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format. Other formats can be imported and exported.

I will inform you about the protocol to import an SVG into blender 3D attaching the Inkscape and Blender files.

Operating System and Software

All this work are created with Linux Operating System and GNOME Desktop.

• Debian and Fedora, last releases
• GNOME Desktop
• Blender 3.5.0
• Inkscape 1.2

Librsvg

• Librsvg a library to render SVG images to Cairo surfaces. GNOME uses this to render SVG icons. Outside of GNOME, other desktop environments use it for similar purposes. It is also used in Wikimedia to render the SVG images that appear in Wikipedia, so that even old web browsers can display them. Many projects which casually need to render static SVG images use librsvg.

Protocols

To deploy this project run.

  Open Inkscape

Let's find the icons in this case they will be Adwaita.

  /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/

Select the icons you want, I'll leave you an SVG of the icons I chose.

  Background Icons.svg

Now we are going to open Blender to import SVG Scalable Vector Graphics formats.

  Open Blender

Import SVG from Blender

  File - Import - Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg)

Extrude SVG into Blender

  Edit Mode - Select all files - Click E - Now you can Extrude the SVG. 

Now you can use this SVG into Blender

  SVG Icons.blend

Add Light and Shader Nodes

  There is a background created with Shader Nodes

• Render Engine: Cycles
• Feature Set: Experimental
• Add-ons: Node Wrangler

And this is the Final Render

You can get the Debian Wallpaper version

  Debian_Logo.svg

  Debian_Wallpaper.blend

  Debian_Wallpaper.svg

And this is the way how to design a wallpaper for Debian
