Amazing! One thing I hope you cover is differences in the final render output when it comes to the "glossyness" between the viewport and the render, when using roughness, particularly on the icing, and perhaps get into the "sheen", "alpha" and "Transmission" attributes.

For those that didnt catch what he did at @16:39 to get his viewport to exhibit the dark version with the glowy-streaks lights, he simply attached the Glare's Image output directly to the input bud of the Viewer node. At @17:33, he does this again, saying "now let's pre-vi that"; For context, 'pre-vis' stands for 'pre-visualization' and 'pre-vi" might also stand for "preview". He means "let's take a look at the preview of that (the Fog Glow effect)", so he unhooks the connection from the Streaks effect to the Viewer, and hooks the Fog Glow effect to the Viewer instead.

Quick side note from a camera and photography standpoint: The stars in your glare are related to the amount of blades in the lens, so if you want to make it realistic, look at the blades you've set in your camera settings. 16 points seems excessive and I'd stick to a more common 6-10 points because 6 or 5 blade apertures are more common than 8+ blades.

@angelavolkov1126

Good tip, appreciate the photography experts here :)

Been really on and off lately, but still determined to finish up, these tutorials have been amazing, and even though it feels very early-days, it's finally connecting together all these questions I had years ago about how modelling is done, how textures are applied, these are amazing resources, it's heartening to see all these other people talking about this kick-starting their artistic journey and process! :)

Do yourself a favor and, instead of doing the behind the node preview stuff for compositing, change the bottom panel/screen from the dope sheet to the image editor. Then, select an image named "Render results". That is the final render output that you'll get from the final composite and it's updated the same way the viewer would. So doing it this way, you get the same thing, but it controls better and you don't have to finagle with your nodes to get them out of the way to see your work, and don't need to have a viewer node at the end to see the results

Thank you for the free tutorials! I always remember my first donut of the first series! It was amazing to follow the steps when I was still living in Italy. I'm watching this series without using the software now that I'm living in the UK, but I cannot wait to open the software and do it again, in a better way! Big hug for big donuts 🍩 🎉

The realtime compositor is amazing!! it's always awesome to come back to this tutorial :D

Turns out in 4.0.1 you can see a very low quality preview of the render in the compositing tab

Actually, regarding resizing the image (at 13:55), you can Zoom in and out by using the right-side flyout docker (N) and opening the "View" tab, and under "Backdrop there's a Zoom scale that you can use to easily resize the image.

And again! It's been 2 years since I learnt about Blender with the help of you, Andrew, with the donut course from back then. Now I've done it again. Thank you @blenderguru! PS: Blender gets a small donation from me every month because the programme is just great! #joinedblender although I already decided in favour of it some time ago.

it's actually good that the next part was delayed for a week cus it made me wanna look at CG fast track's previous tutorial that teaches you how to do a tracking shot and ended up realising he has started a whole new series for 4.0 Blessing in disguise💯

I watched hundreds of tutorials on youtube (very good and helpfull ones) and the way he explaining and get you thru the process is absolutely insane. Everytime I watch Andrew's tutorial I feel infected by Blender journey and I feel need of making beautiful renders. I wish he would make more often tutorials; even paid once because he is the "teacher" that makes you wanna learn more :)

For some reason the glare node had no effect on the image at all. I couldn't figure it out, it just doesn't seem to change anything no matter what settings you change or move around. edit: figured it out. On the right-hand side, your Viewer was ABOVE composite, but for some reason on my screen, it was the opposite way around. I was connecting it to the wrong one.

Very good bro. I learned a lot about blender in the beginning by watching your videos. Thank you😊😊😊.

For the real time compositor I think that the firse implementation was 3.6, but in 4.0 they finished all the nodes that were missing for the real time compositor. The only reason why in the final renders it's still using the CPU is because the only things that are not supported by GPU compositing is the multilayer/multipass and external images/files in the compositor

Bonnes vacances, André ! Et Merci !

Thank you for these videos!!! They are great!!!

here since the 1st version of the donut series

Thank you for mentioning the 'don't fix it in post'. Make it look good at the source.

For anyone that wants to bring their area light closer to the donuts without it showing up in the reflection, select the light, in the Object properties panel (three above the Light properties panel), under Visibility > Ray Visibility, uncheck Glossy! That way the light will still fill in wherever you want it, but you won't see a random light rectangle reflected in the floor.

Can't wait for the animation part! 😍😍

amazing tutorial as always, really learnt a lot, Part-11 change the sun rotation to make it slightly better, add a light: area then change the color and the intensity to megaWatts. change the max sample to 100 from 4k, then press F12 and render. Now go to compositing tab. use color management and then choose look as med high contrast or any constrast setting you like, you can also do the same in the compositing with color balance node. note: 4.0 uses AGX which is a lot more advanced and realistic than the prev one i.e, filmic. creating glare: filer+glare in compositing, change the mix val to 1, thresh to 13 and then, duplicate set to fog glow, and change param to high then add a mix filter then set it to Add then, connect the 2 glare image nodes to mix[add] node then that node to viewer node. change FAC to very min value like 0.010, REMEMBER ALWAYS CONNECT THE COMPOSITE NODE IN COMPOSITING TO OTHER NODES, WITHOUT THIS YOU CANT RENDER ANYTHING. Note: to move the render image in the bg, first click on viewer then click on the image then you can move it. Alt+V to zoom in and then V to zoom out. by changing the dope sheet in the bottom dock to 3dviewport, you can preview your render in realtime. COmpositor speed has been improved in 4.0, thats amazing! add lens distortion to add a cinematic look. use distortion in min values, smthg like 0.0X0 and the dispersion even lower than that, like 0.00X and connect it to the viewer and composite node.

Made it this far :D I haven't been this excited to learn in a long while! 😁

I love an ad played the very second you rendered the first time (5:12) like "Wow this looks way different than the stack of donuts!"

Happy to be here. I will send you a gift in the future. A really beautiful gift.

Really nice. I hope that there will be parts about rigging and animation. I have an interest in these parts.

In regards to using Chromatic Aberration, if you simply just increase the focal length of your camera and zoom out, you get the same effect.

Still not finished? God damn! Keep the vids coming andrew 😊

if you get a black screen in your render, u need to go to Compositing and make your u have 2 nodes, Render layer and Compositive coneccted with images, hope helps

i still can't believe i made it all to the end. can't wait to watch your tutorial series for beginners. Hope it will be more in depth. ;) is there a release date for that @blenderguru ?

I think this is the hard part, not just the concept of lightning but the real-time rendering both in CPU or GPU is also heavyyyyy

Your tutorials are excellent and have learned so much. More about cats and fur would be nice too.

woooo! almost done!!!!

I don't use Blender and I have no intention of ever using Blender, but I've been watching guides like this for years. You could have made this a 100 episode tutorial and I'd still watch all of them.

Good luck!😊

Andrew I always appreciate your new tutorials, I followed your 3.0 Doughnut tutorial and I'm excited to try another to see how I've improved, but could you please remake your anvil tutorial! I feel like it is incredibly frustrating trying to follow along in Blender 3.0 and above because many of the shortcuts are changed and I feel like the whole process can be improved.

Aww yiss! Pretty close to the end, where you suggested to change the Compositor setting to Always, Blender just shut down and everything was gone :D

now mr all might guru im not saying all the car tutorials out there suck but all the ones i find do now i might be asking u to do one if posible because u do very good with donut and u have a very calming voice doesnt make me wanna press a twice and x

Let's make Donut great again! Andrew for president of LA! 😀

Can’t believe I made it this far, I want to keep learning more😺

Hi! Is there anything wrong with thinking that the render produced is already so good as it is without the need for extra composition? Perhaps I am inexperienced but the image is excellent and pleasing to the eye right from the start. Great tutorial as usual btw :)

lens distortion is when you are trying to do something like making it look like movie is happening on an old TV, or you want to do something like a shaky cam found footage.

i dunno but imo that feet sticking in that photo 9:22 is funy

Thank you so much, so helpful, beautiful;

Sup guys, for those like me who want to save the compositing image with those delicious effects, just press F11 > close to the Render Result you gonna see an image icon on the left, click there > Select Viewer Node and BOOOM, just save it and be happy ! Oh btw, if there isin't and viewer node option, check to see if the viewer box is connected all the way (indirectly) to the Render Layer !

Well I'll see u in a week cause this render will take a life time

Thank God I reached up to this chapter. 🎆🎆🎆🎆

God of the donuts

NICE !

Mr. Price, love your work, quick question. What in your opinion is the best computer to use for blender? My 16 inch MacBook Pro from 2020 has a permanently damaged motherboard after I rendered a big project. What do you use for blender? Thanks.

The fill light part could be a good place to explain light linking

Not sure if it's suitable for a beginner tutorial, but I use cryptomatte material and shader AOVs as masks to control glare elements. I also never use the backdrop feature in the compositor, but switch out the bottom animation window for image and choose Composite or Viewer. Weirdly enough Composite needs to have fake user enabled to prevent it from being purged.

Amazing!!!

Has Pixar Comic style. I wonder how much more work, a realistic one would be needed.

9:30 its actually because the shape of your iris. There's an amazing video on this topic on YT by AngeTheGreat "What is bloom? (And how is it simulated?"

Note to self- When on the compositing screen, at around 16:38 we check the glare effect strength against the original render, to get the black layout to appear as on screen make sure to hold control, shift while left clicking on the glare node.

If Andrew UV Wrapped the Donut with actual Donut Images the photo realism would be popping.

Nyc episode ❤

I'm actually following this series. But even if I'm not doing 3D Modelling, I just want to listen him all day explaining the process to me. It's kind of relaxing and therapeutic. I think I'm weird 😅

While it's cool I can use blender as a 'one stop shop' - is there any genuine technical benefit to doing this in the compositor versus ANY video/colour grading software (eg Davinci Resolve, Adobe etc) ?

If you're using a laptop like me and struggle with cycles, I just found out that by switching your viewing mode in layout to u rendered view prior to rendering speeds the render up just a bit. I guess your computer doesn't have to work as hard if it's only rendering the image and not in the layout? Hope that helps someone.

5:15 I’ve been rendering for 20 minutes and It’s half done. My laptop can’t wait to render the full animation next time 😎

Have you tried to turn on the GPU compute option in render properties?

For anyone getting the notification "GPU is out of memory" when trying to render ( 5:20 ), try going to your viewport and change the view to shaded view or wireframe rather than cycles cause that can eat a good chunk of memory!

So I’m was right in the middle of following your 3.0 tutorial, if I do this compositing video instead of the old one will it still work (aside from the difference in objects)?

Yoooo 😎have a day worth a donut what my grandpa would say

Great tutorial - especially being up to date again... 'made it through all the way so far... but not sure if my PC feels a little 'deflated', it's not up to your graphics cards... :-o

Hi Andrew, how r u? I hope u r fine. I want to ask u, whenver u add a new object in the blender viewport that time how u decide how many vertcies do u need. I mean to say that if u want to make a donut, or light bulbs, chair, sofa then adding related primatives how u decide this many vertcies do u need. I m searching its answer but I didn't get yet. 😢

1:49 bless you sir 🙊

First of all, what a great tutorial! Big thanks to Andrew. BTW, when I click Ctrl-Shift left click (according to 5m32s), instead of the render image, only a black box appears. Any hint to resolve it? 🙏

Love you vids, just started on blender and they're a tremendous help, just got a question. When you say "Point 2" I would think that means 0.2, but then I see you writing 0.02 on the screen. You've done this in all the videos, so I am just a bit confused if there's something I've misunderstood?

For anyone, If compositing shows a black screen it means you haven't rendered an image for it to pick up. click on the render image. Once the image is completely rendered go back to compositing tab and it should be there.

WAA new vid

i did the compositing but mine wasn't turning to fog glow along with the streaks nodes, so I deleted it. but it somehow ruined it more. i thought to start from the start so I deleted all the nodes and now my blender screen is black. i can only see my objects in solid mode or when I select them(like only the selected outline not the object). i tried adding the nodes back but nothing is working. it's all gone

лучший, best

I’m working on a Windows Laptop with a really powerful processor that my dad got for me a few months back. At this part, whenever I start to render, it says it’ll take five hours for each frame. I’m trying to make do with what I have, but I need this done faster. Any suggestions to make my rendering quicker?

Love You From Korea

My render was much brighter than the viewport and I was at a loss. I forgot that earlier on I ignored Andrew's instruction to delete the light. I figured, "Nah, I'll keep it here in case the wall thing doesn't work out" and then it didn't and I was so proud of myself....... buuut I only disabled it in the viewport, not the render :D Dammit, I thought I was so smart.

This version looks much better. Should I do the whole tut again? 💀
