Can I use SVG artwork to put a label on a model of a vitamin bottle without first changing it to pixels? Does this need to be automated or batch processed?

  • The easy ways require converting to an actual image file first, as SVG files can not be use as textures in Blender. – J Sargent Jan 22 '15 at 17:52

    Note that there used to be an addon for this, back in the 2.4x days: https://code.google.com/p/vectex/. But AFAIK now you'll have to use a raster image. – gandalf3 Jan 22 '15 at 17:58
  • Maybe import, subdivide, and do a shrink-wrap modifier on it? – J Sargent Jan 22 '15 at 18:26

Import the SVG file into blender and apply it to the bottle with a Shrinkwrap modifier in Project mode and with the bottle as Target. You might need to play with the offset value to separate the label from the surface.

Make sure this option is turned on:

make sure you read: Why won't Blender let me import .svg files?

and

Why can't I import a SVG file from Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape?
