I'm trying to do a happy birthday video for a friend, he is a fan of How I Met your mother, and my hope is to make a nice remake of the main intro, with pictures of our group of friends. The first thing that I noticed is that the shapes of the main characters are cut as in collage.

I don't know how I can cut the plane irregularly following the shapes of people in a photo.
LEGEN ... waiting for your suggestions ...DARY

$\begingroup$ Trace the image in a vector drawing program, like Inkscape or Illustrator, then bring the image as SVG to blender. blender.stackexchange.com/questions/52563/… blender.stackexchange.com/questions/53910/… $\endgroup$ – susu Nov 3 '20 at 20:51
$\begingroup$ Or trace the image directly in blender (not t though that blender's tools to manipulate curves are quite rudimentary). blender.stackexchange.com/questions/58626/… but you can do this as a regular mesh as well, by creating connected vertices and then closing the shape with faces. blender.stackexchange.com/questions/154032/… $\endgroup$ – susu Nov 3 '20 at 20:52
$\begingroup$ Or import the image as reference and use the Grease Pencil to trace the image, then convert it to a curve or a mesh. $\endgroup$ – susu Nov 3 '20 at 20:56

$\begingroup$ @susu + bl4nk .. deleted my start at an answer - it would have duplicated susu's recommendations . $\endgroup$ – Robin Betts Nov 3 '20 at 21:03
