KyleCrotts Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I'm trying to export a design as a SVG to import it into Blender for 3D work. Some of the curves are being rasterized and don't show up in Blender. What is going on and how can i fix it?

v_kyr Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Looks like the "y" and part of the "K" have a black 2px contour/stroke set, the other curves don't have. - Further as default (without setting the SVG rasterize export option to none), parts are generated and exported then as SVG image references (#_Image1, #_Image2, #_Image3) ... ... <g transform="matrix(1.98637,0,0,1.98637,-9210.2,-2221.04)"> <g transform="matrix(0.503432,-0,-0,0.503432,4636.71,1118.14)"> <use xlink:href="#_Image1" x="428.674" y="289.265" width="96.835px" height="197.63px" transform="matrix(0.998302,0,0,0.998133,0,0)"/> </g> </g> <g transform="matrix(1.98637,0,0,1.98637,-9210.2,-2221.04)"> <g transform="matrix(0.503432,-0,-0,0.503432,4636.71,1118.14)"> <use xlink:href="#_Image2" x="420.895" y="288.964" width="314.063px" height="353.279px" transform="matrix(0.997027,0,0,0.997964,0,0)"/> </g> </g> <g transform="matrix(1.98637,0,0,1.98637,-9210.2,-2221.04)"> <g transform="matrix(0.503432,-0,-0,0.503432,4636.71,1118.14)"> <use xlink:href="#_Image3" x="717.217" y="449.192" width="322.04px" height="353.279px" transform="matrix(0.997027,0,0,0.997964,0,0)"/> </g> </g> <g transform="matrix(496.591,0,0,496.591,1042.73,641.305)"> <path d="M0.044,-0.73L0.234,-0.73L0.234,-0.245C0.234,-0.2 0.27,-0.164 0.315,-0.164L0.335,-0.164L0.335,-0.018L0.202,-0.018C0.115,-0.018 0.044,-0.088 0.044,-0.175L0.044,-0.73Z" style="fill:rgb(255,0,0);fill-rule:nonzero;"/> </g> ... You can try to remove the strokes and export as plain SVG vectors with "rasterize: none", in order to see how things look then for Blender.

oliiix Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Cool thanks, that helped for me as well. I had an svg logo extracted from a PDF that had "invisible" borders on it. I removed them and now it gets exported as curves. Yet I agree that this behavior from the software is wrong and should be fixed. I would agree to it being rasterized if it was a border added via Layer Effects, but this border is part of the curve itself (according to the software), so why would it get rasterized on export. A shape that has this border enabled should get exported as curves and not being rasterized. If there's no "border"-"attribute" in SVG (not gonna dive into that), then the shape should be exported as two shapes, one being the border, the other the filling. But just rasterizing it is bad behavior! I'll create a feature request for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1138 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Same issue - I cannot export to SVG without the SVG being rasterized. None of the curves have borders. v1.10.5, macOS 11.6.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
