🫆 Trace image to Path (Sketch) inside of Fusion . Inkscape Replacement?

If you use Inkscape or one of the other art programs to do trace to sketch or you manually trace a canvas in fusion this may be the plug in for you.

Project Salvador

I’ve dabbled with this a little bit so far but it seems amazing.

This is a beta plugin made by Autodesk and downloadable at their App Store for free.

Besides the trace to path feature there’s also an AI image creation feature.

I’m curious how this works for you and how you’re gonna use it. Please post any experience about this program including prompts that worked well or tricks for image preparation beforehand that would be great.

This video discussing an overview of this plugin is great. If you haven’t already subscribed to Brad’s channel I would highly recommend it.

and this video is Autodesk’s overview of the Plugin

Skip to 3 minutes and 40 seconds to the sketch creation part of this video . Itis similar to inkscape s trace to path.

I got to use this “Project Salvador.” Very helpful.

Here is my wife’s sign at our front door:

For a number of reasons, it catches your attention (awkward silence…:rofl: ).

I tell her (or imply) “I could print your a 3D sign???” Well, she is kind of lukewarm about it. I suppose she is afraid if I go to all that work and she does not like it, will she still have to put it up? Like all those crayon drawings from preschool???

I start searching for simply spider pictures. I am not finding anything that rows my boat. This is the only one I could find that even remotely look like what I was going for but it looks like a bug with 8 legs. Not really a spider.

Sure they are free…nobody really wants them.

So I go to “Project Salvador.” I was pretty stoked about this one but it had 12K parts and did not have a profile. Any attempts to fix the profile hung Fusion. I finally gave up.

Then I asked “no hair” and “realistic”. Voila:

That worked flawlessly:
