Import Illustrator artwork (logo) into Blender
Importing Illustrator artwork into Blender is not immediately obvious. This video shows you the critical steps required to do so. Details below...
Patreon: / michaelbullo
Within Illustrator, save the file as an SVG. Within Blender, import the SVG file via the Import option of the File menu. Generally, curves from Illustrator are imported that are so small they aren't even visible within the 3D Viewport. However, they can easily be selected and scaled up. The curves can be, but don't have to be, joined using the Join option from within the Object menu (Command/Control + J). Within the Properties panel is a small green icon that represents the Object Data Properties. Within that tab is a section for Geometry which contains values for Extrude and Bevel Depth. These settings allow for both solidity and a bevel to be applied to the imported content which is still vector, editable content.

THANK YOU. Before watching this,, I imported, changed to mesh, had so many faces and edges, etc. Very frustrating. This tutorial was PERFECT. So happy there was a better way of doing this.

When exporting the SVG, activate the "More Options" button within the "SVG Options" dialog box. Change the "CSS Properties" option to "Presentation Attributes". The exported SVG should now display colour when imported into Blender. This short video on Blender Secrets demonstrates this well… kzread.info/dash/bejne/i36Zy9KCf5Pdk9o.html&feature=emb_logo

@@Spicyanvil The trick with sculpting is that you need to have a lot of polygons. If this is your issue, you just need to divide your mesh. I don't have any videos on this topic myself.

The object that I created in the video is fundamentally still just a few curves. To achieve what you are describing I would first convert the object to a mesh. Then I would be selecting individual faces and assigning different materials to them.
