If you’ve ever wanted to take a logo and make a 3D motion graphic, this is for you.
It’s easy to take an image in Fusion in 3D space, but extruding it into a 3D object hasn’t been easy.
You’d either have to recreate it using 3D text or objects, or create a 3D object in another app and bring in the 3D object.
But there is a solution to do it all in DaVinci Resolve with some tools you can find in Reactor.
Now you can do all sorts of 3D effects with your logo for creating custom intros, outros, or any other type of motion graphics.

Looks like a cool tool.
Something must have changed with the Fusion structure and scripts.
Can’t get it to generate the svg file even after multiple attempts. Only getting the white bmp file in the tmp folder.
