Add 3D Depth to 2D Logos and Images

Fusion’s powerful 3D environment can help you perform 3D tasks inside DaVinci Resolve or Fusion standalone. In this Tutorial you will see two options to take a 2D logo, image, or graphic and add some 3D depth to it. The default tool to extrude plane objects into 3D is Fusion’s displace3D tool. While this does work, the requirements for a smooth mesh may make this approach difficult. As a second option, you can layer planes on top of each other to give a 3D appearance. This turns out to be the more successful approach in this tutorial.

After creating the 3D scene, you can use 2D post-processing tools to finish the scene. In the example, we use ambient occlusion to get great shadows and depth blur.
