Have you ever tried to import an .svg file to Blender? It can be very useful to create new shapes with this function and you are able to spare some time for modeling. This is just my way how I use and work with SVG-files.
IMPORT COLORED SVG:
If you select 'Presentation Attributes' under the advanced options 'CSS-Attributes' when exporting the SVG then your objects will come in with colored materials.

If you select 'Presentation Attributes' under the advanced options 'CSS-Attributes' (I hope it is called like this in english version because I'm working with an german version of Adobe Illustrator) when exporting the SVG then your objects will come in with colored materials rather than being just black.

Awesome!!! Great explanation. Thanks for posting this and keep up the good work.
shortest tutorial that explained everything i needed. thanks.
TIP: you don't need the Solidify modifier or even convert to a mesh and extrude. Just go to the curve's (or text) properties and you'll find "extrude", "Depth (bevel)", "offset", "resolution" parameters, together with a bunch of other options. Hope it helps.

This is definitely more recommended because the curves properties panels are very specific in making usual curve-to-3D modifications while doing it non-destructively.

I’m using the same method that you desceibed. But! I have problem with using modifiers on it. They doesn’t work and broke project everytime I try. Any suggestions?
Why I never even thought of the obvious solidify! Very smart. I just kept trying to extrude. So, convert to mesh, scale then solidify, merge verts by distance.
dude thank you for being so helpful. great tutorial ((:
Thank you, this helped me, you are the best!
Best way to get rid of all them extra edges is easy. First, get the flat image and extrude or use solidify modifier - take the extruded item in edit mode. Loop cut using Ctrl R and the delete all vertices each side of the loop cut. Select all at a face, the extrude again. All lovely and clean.

Mesh>Cleanup>Limited Dissolve: probably even faster. Then you'll want to use ctrl+j on a few select vertex pairs to fix where holes connect. Inevitably, they always end up connecting at Terrible angles. Connect perpendicular to both inner and outer whenever possible. Since this creates a giant blank face with tons of invisible triangles though, it has some downsides. To fix shading issues after you've fixed the triangles, add a weighted normal modifier with "keep sharp" checked.

Thanks for this video & The Info about bringing SVG's in color through to Blender. My illustrator files have horrible point locations & are crowed together almost making them unusable in more complex objects. I end up using them for reference & Just remake them more clean in blender. I think I may try the "Decimate or Loop cut tricks" from the comments as well. Much Love! :)

It would be useful to be able to import svgs without them arriving so tiny. It is difficult to find them without the panel on the side. Seems like there should be an option to bring them in full size.
I am suspicious of the quality of the SVG that Illustrator exports. I know it doesn't work with that format natively. And I once dissected an SVG that Illustrator exported, which had a gradient in the original design. But the gradient was rendered as a bitmap image instead of using the gradient fill style in the SVG specification. I haven't seen anyone import a SVG authored in Inkscape, into Blender yet, because I've only just begun looking things up for this topic. But I think that would be a good first test, to eliminate or confirm a cause for the problem where the one rogue point went off on its own.
why does mine not show up grey like a normal shape? It's always black
What happened if we increase triangle in model, I want best surface finishe in 3d printing

If you want to do an 3d print then it depends on size and shape I guess. I have never done a 3d print before but I worked with a desktop plotter and this machine is calculating all the vector points. The more vector points the longer the machine needs to produce the shape. I guess it is similar to a 3d printer. The more vertices the longer the machine need to calculate... But this is just a assumption.
I was able to create an SVG using Inkscape. I imported it, scaled and extruded just fine. But what I really want to know is how to make it pulsate to audio. I know you can bake to F-Curve but it's not really doing anything animation wise. I need to learn how to edit the extrude as a keyframe and bake it. Not sure if I need to convert it to mesh or leave as a curve. I'm super frustrated! Just opened Blender for the first time last night. Awesome program but very overwhelming when you know very little, but I am picking up on it.

Hey Dirty Baker. Have never worked with animated movement to audio so far. I know that there are some video tutorials out there... but never tried it. Blender is a very nice software. I worked with Autodesk Maya in the past and this software is as well overhelming. I guess 3d modeling and animation software is very complex and defenitely not easy to layout as well.

@25games

Are you talking about the vector / Path structur? I guess it is about complexity of your object(s). For sure you are able to create simple path structur in Blender itself but sometimes there are way more complex pathes which are easier to create with Illustrator. This is just my opinion. I think creating my 25games logo in Blender itself is more difficult than in AI.

After watching this video I around an hour figuring a way to fix the size ratio between Illustrator & Blender. Here is fix I found... 1) Blenders numbers are off. Two Meters should = 7559.0592 pixels. I tested it.. It doesn't Work. 2) The Actual Ratio Size = 7088.2796 pixels = Roughly = 2 Meters from Illustrator to blender. 3) How does that Help? Take 7088.2786 (decimals mater) /10 = 1/10 Scale or 708.82796 Pixels 4) Create a box in Illustrator at the 708.82796 Pixels size and use as Guide & if you need something 4 Meters high use Two boxes, 6M = 3 box... etc... then save to SVG as Normal 5) Import > Blender Create a "Plain Axes" > Parent everything to the Axes. 6) Adjust the Axes scale on both X & Y Scale = 10x 7) You've done it you have bought something from illustrator at the size you want! Just tested it & it works awesome! Much Love & Rock on 3d Peeps!!
