I'm new to Blender but not 3D modeling. I'm struggling to translate what I know to this interface, but I'm getting there thanks to all the tutorials and efforts this great Blender community has created. Thank you! It's amazingly helpful.

I need some help with how I should approach this model (if you point in the name of the tool, I can go find the resources on it, I'm really looking for the term of what I'm trying to accomplish).

I have an SVG logo. I'd like to shape this logo to a sphere or other roundish shape and give it a look like it was "router cut" into the face of the shape.

I would like the logo to be about 2mm recessed on all sides.

I was thinking I could

  • Extrude the logo
  • Make an inner shape
  • Make an outer shape
  • Use the outer shape to "cut" the extruded logo to the face of the rounded shape. (Boolean)
  • Use the inner shape to "cut" the extruded logo depth (boolean) to give me a sliver the side I'd like to notch out of the rounded shape.
  • And then Boolean again on duplicates of the shapes to remove the junction of these two.

Seems like there should be an easier way to do this.

If you're able to convert your logo into a curve/mesh outline, you could then use Knife Project to cut it out of your base object. Then you would simply need to extrude the cutout area to the desired depth.
