  1. Hello, folks,

    I really need your help, is there a plugin/extension/method that allows one to trace a 2d image and convert into 3d splines that can then be  used to create 3D models???

    I know there are several apps the will extrude simple models, but, I am looking for some to assist in making splines along complex shapes like along this ships hull/superstructure.

    Something like project a 2d image into 3d space, where you extract splines to create 3d models from the splines, or to close the loops it were.

    Please note that I had to put the model in xray mode, and the lines are not accurate.

    Thank you!

  2. Hello again,

     

    Thank you for the neon edges as it will good be to have and use. But I guess what I am lookimg for is the ability to outline the nations in neon, and then overlay the different layers to get the same 3D effect, as the image from the movie.

    1. Black background
    2. Outline the nations edges with neon colors
    3. Create a Blue grid overlay, to give the picture a 3D look and feel
    4. Create Missile tracking, and other things like submarines.
    5. Creat a template to use these images on a 3D model, (Sketchup 2017).


    Cheers mates.

  3. Hello Everyone,

     

    I was wondering if you could please assist me in designing my own decals from photos, as I am trying to create my own paper model decals from various photos of objects like an F-14 Tomcat; please see my attach photos. I am primarily interested in making decals for modern military hardware.

     

    I know there are a few extensions/plug-ins that help the artist/photographer clean up there desired photos, and some with amazing results. I guess what I am looking for is something that can design/convert a photo into a high quality decal that can than be resized from 1/4 - 1/720, etc....

     

    I guess the way to go would be vector over raster due to it's vibrant and streamlined look, and since the 3D program I prefer (Sketchup Make 2017) is a vector program there shouldn't be any issues with importing new decals; so if you can please advise me on any extensions/tutorials, would be appreciated.

     

    Please take a look at my photos and let me know in which direction I should go.

    Thank you, so much to all of you!

     


    Cheers Mates!
