I found this on google as usual, I actually tried this and it was pretty easy to follow.

Blender 3D, an open-source design tool, stands out for its versatility and broad compatibility. It’s accessible to users of major PC operating systems
like macOS, Windows, and Linux, and the best part is that it’s completely free.
What sets Blender 3D apart is its comprehensive toolkit, catering not only to designers but also to programmers thanks to its support for an Application Programming Interface (API).
This means that whether you’re a creative designer or a code-savvy programmer, Blender 3D has something to offer.
One of the common tasks in design is the transformation of 2D reference images into 3D models.
Blender 3D excels in this area too, making it easy to breathe life into flat images.
In this tutorial, we’ll take you on a step-by-step journey into the world of converting 2D images into detailed 3D models using Blender 3D. So, prepare to unlock your creativity as we explore this fantastic tool together.

Blender 3D is a free alternative to professional applications such as Maya and 3D Studio Max. This software is also portable which means that you can carry it on your memory stick and do your job on any PC using Windows. Blender is the open source software for 3D modelling, animation, rendering...

1. Ensure that you have Blender 3D installed on your computer.​
2. Once Blender 3D is installed, locate its icon on your desktop or in your applications folder, depending on your operating system.​
3. Double-click on the Blender 3D icon to launch the application.​
4. After a moment, the Blender 3D interface should appear on your screen​

Step 3. Create a new Blender file and save it with an appropriate name
Let’s start by creating a new file and giving it a proper name in Blender:

​

1. Open Blender.​
2. If you have any existing project open, you can close it by going to “File” > “New” > “General.”​
3. Now, let's save your new file with a name​
4. 
   
   • Click on “File” in the top-left corner.​
   • Select “Save” or “Save As.”​
   • Choose your desired directory where you want to save the file.​
   • Enter a meaningful name for your project in the “File Name” field.​
   • Choose a location and format for your project (Blender files typically use “.blend” as the extension).​
   • Click the “Save” button.​

Your new Blender project is now saved with the appropriate name

Step 4. You will now see the default cube at the center of the work screen, which you must delete.

Open your Blender project.In the 3D viewport, you’ll typically see a default cube at the center of the scene.

1. To select the cube, left-click on it. It should turn orange to indicate it’s selected.​
2. Now, simply press the ‘X’ key on your keyboard.​
3. A menu will pop up with different deletion options. To delete the cube, click on “Delete.”​

Step 5. Click on the ‘File’ button in the toolbar.

Step 6. Scroll to the ‘import’ button in the drop-down menu.

Step 7. Click on the ‘Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg)’ option

Step 8. Select the .svg file you downloaded earlier and open it.

Step 9. Window select the SVG image. Make sure you select the whole image.

Step 10. Right-click on the selection and click on the ‘Extrude Size’ option.

Step 11. Use the mouse to adjust the amount of extrusion.

Step 12. Left-click on the workspace to confirm the operation.

Your 2D image is now a 3D model.

I hope this helps someone as it did me, though right now I'm interested to learn about
all the things that could be done with Adobe projects, If I find a interesting and educational
tutorial I'll share it.

love and Hugzz to my Fam.​

I have to say, I am impressed with people who have a wide field of interest and/or knowledge, especially when it comes to computers and PCs.
From Hackintosh to Photoshop, to Blender, you are covering several aspects of how a PC can be used, and may help others to grow an interest by making them see that is not as hard as they may think.

Can't wait to see what else you are going to come up with

Since you seem to like graphics tho, here is a small gift I created for you, and maybe this will inspire you to write about Artificial Intelligence and graphics or dive deeper into realistic 2d, and 3d Graphics.

You both are so kind and encouraging, thank you so much my sister.

@Cyler Can I say just how amazing and talented I think you are, your encouragement means so much to me
now my interest is peaked about AI and graphics but mainly about realistic 2d, and 3d graphics.
I plan on doing a deep dive into how that works. I'm very curious.

That image is outstanding, simply gorgeous, You're so talented
I actually did a double take at the image, the hair is spot on for us. She could be a family member.
