In this tutorial, we'll be using 100% open source software to easily convert most 2D images to vector curves for use in Blender. It's a super useful workflow that I use more and more to efficiently get geometry in my scenes without spending all day modeling! If you want to try a more advanced approach to this, head over to my second channel to see how I made the tiger animation at the end.
