I want to make a custom dice set with the theme Darksiders

enter image description here

This is the image I would like to be on the d20 dice on the 20 side. however I do not know how to put the mark into the d20 Model.

I know how to put in numbers into the dice and I tried to make a dent in it with a smaller simple cube and it worked fine but not when I try with this Darksider mark. i even tried a more simpler version of the image but not even that worked. the result was either nothing, or a wierd and inconsistent texture into the dice model

I would be really happy if someone could help me with this.

thank you in advance!

  • $\begingroup$ Hello :). What is the technique you tried and didn't work for you? Do you want to use the image as a Bump texture, or actual indented geometry? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ i tried to use boolean to indent geometry. similar method when i put the numbers into the dice. make sure its a mesh object, then go to the dice model, add the boolean modifier. but it didnt work for this one @JachymMichal $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ The best way would be probably to Import the logo as an .svg and then manually (or using Boolean) cut the relief into the dice $\endgroup$

You need to use the DISPLACE modifier on the plane you want the SHAPE of the image. You'll mesh will need a lot of geometry to be able to show the shape of your image.

  • $\begingroup$ you need to increase the level of subdivision in the subdivision modifier (viewport). you'll need at least 5. then you need to swith to "simple model" instead of "catmull" $\endgroup$
