Blender is a powerful 3D modeling and animation software that can be used for a variety of purposes, including creating 3D models, animations, and games. One of the most useful features of Blender is its ability to extrude 3D models from 2D images. This tutorial will show you how to extrude a 2D image in to a 3D model in Blender.
Start by opening Blender and creating a new project.
Import the 2D image that you want to extrude into Blender. To do this, go to File > Import > Image as Plane.
Select the image and click Import Image.
The 2D image will now be imported as a plane into Blender.
To extrude the 2D image into a 3D model, select the plane and go to Edit Mode.
Select the faces of the plane that you want to extrude.
To extrude the selected faces, press E on the keyboard.
Move the mouse to extrude the faces and click LMB to confirm.
The selected faces will now be extruded and you will have a basic 3D model.
To add more detail to the model, continue to extrude faces and move them around to create the desired shape.
That's all there is to it! By following these simple steps, you can extrude 2D images into 3D models in Blender.
