I particularly like the name of the object "Subscribe you flithy casual"

every two years or so , i come back and make one of these all over again , if you've come this far along just know you are actually farther along then 80% of people who think about trying 3D art. Keep going

3:29 BE CAREFUL not to have proportional editing enabled! If you do, moving the group of two objects will have an interesting effect as the icing will... fly further than the donut itself!

NOTE: I couldn't get the Material colors to appear on my gray donut as shown in the video. I finally figured out that when the video starts, Andrew's Viewport mode (icon row below "Scenes" in upper right of window) was set to "Solid", and this was the same Viewport mode my file was in at the start of this tutorial. When he went to show the flashing red "Subscribe" button in the middle, Andrew first switched the Viewport mode to the next icon over, "Material Preview" without mentioning it, and then left it there when he removed the button. When I switched my Viewport mode to Material Preview, the material colors started showing.

You know over the years I've had friends, colleagues and even family watch your donut tutorials when they want to learn how to blend. You're a staple, the first step to 3D in my mind. Appreciate your work man.

I began learning Blender four months ago but gave up. The 4.0 update and your tutorials motivated me to try again. I've just completed Part 5, even though I had already finished the doughnut tutorial. It's a refreshing experience, and I recommend revisiting this tutorial for anyone facing challenges. I felt a bit ashamed when I noticed I hadn't subscribed yet, but consider me a new member of the Secret Doughnut Society. Thank you, Andrew!

Honestly, the timing for this tutorial series couldn’t be more perfect. I just bought a new computer to use for blender a few days ago, and I downloaded blender yesterday, and then I noticed that Andrew just updated his tutorial series and I was really happy because it meant I could get started right away.

Gawd, this is so good. It's not just covering Blender, but touching so many essential 3D topics in general. Thanks a lot! Also, since I'm diabetic now (benefits of growing older in too good living standards) this is the closest I'll ever get to enjoying a donut again.

Recently switched from 3ds max (after 7 years) and now learning Blender. Amazed by all the tools that ive found so far, and incredible helpful series!

WOW, I didn't realize how much of an entrepreneur you were! Congratz on the website and the KZread channel success. I'm a C.S. student entering my bachelor's program and I'm learning blender in my free time to complement my programming skills. Thank you so much for all of this free content!

For those having problems when texture painting, such as the brush strokes painting on the back of the selected face, be sure that your normals are on the correct side, to recalculate them select the model (in this case, the base of the donut), go into edit mode (with Tab), select all vertices (with A), then select the voice "Mesh" under the workspaces bar, then from the menu that opens after clicking it, search and find the voice "Normals" (also opened with the shortcut Alt+N), from the menu that further opens after clicking the Normal voice select "Recalculate Outside" (also done with Shift+N). After doing all of this you can resume with the texture painting, if you still have the problem, try flipping the Normals (also done in the same menu that you went to recalculate the outside normals - Alt + N), another tip that I discovered while fixing my normals, is that they are on the correct side when, while painting on the image texture, a grid appears just like in the video of Andrew. Keep going brothers and sisters, for this is just a pebble in your path. P.s. Sorry for eventual grammar errors, english isn't my first language.

@jimmyjakes1823

4 ай бұрын

Just to add to that, under the overlay options you can check the 'overlay orientation' box and it will tell you which way the mesh face is pointed. If it's blue that means it's facing outside, and if it's red that means it's facing inside.

You man my man is a awesome tutor! Your good at what your talking about, you balance humor and seriousness perfect! I salute you! I always wanted to get into 3d, but didn't find any good tutorials, until now! The easiest sub ever!

For beginners, this part is mostly the reason why guys leave learning blender cause of the complexity of nodes and all that stuff going around. Last year too I tried to learn blender, but due to personal work and reasons I couldn't make past this section due to the more complex elements in this part. I hope this year I will overcome this part and successfully make a donut in Blender.

@Jotaro-o

Yeah nodes are also the hardest part for me too. What makes nodes less scary to me is thinking of the nodes as solutions to problems. Like for example if I want to rotate an object then the solution would be to find a node that can do rotation. Then keep building the nodes by finding the solution to the next problem you have. The tricky part is to learn which node does what. Ehh might be a bit confusing but this is how I think of it.

this series is the best out of all of them i think you finally perfected the balnace between explanations and time seaving.

Love the content man, seem like a genuine guy who makes great content.

solution for invisible texture paint strokes copied from blender 3.0 donut video: If anyone is having issues with no strokes being visible when attempting to paint, check under the Tex Draw properties tab on the far right. Under texture, there should be a checkerboard pattern. If a black square is there instead, delete that texture. The checkerboard should now be visible, as should your strokes when you begin to paint.

I made it this far. I'm glad I did. Everything you explained in this video is why I ran away multiple times because it was overwhelming going to the different menus.😂 Now, I understand the order of the process and how they function. Learning scuplting and now shading has been fun. Thanks a lot for all the hardwork!

After messing with Spark AR a lot, all of this texturing map stuff feels way more familiar and easier to understand than the first time I did this tutorial on a previous version, I knew the normal map right away

Using this as a refresher. A thought for version five of the tutorial... go with something like wood next time, because the surface of marble is too uniform and subtle to see what you're talking about, especially if watching on a small screen. It looks like the normal map did nothing so beginners will wonder why it's necessary.
