    At approx. 13:30 ... If you're also wondering how to adjust the lamp setting, you have to make sure that Light is selected under Scene Collection at the top right of the screen. He had that selected already but didn't mention it.

    TIP/CORRECTION: at 11:00 the shortcut mentioned (Shift + ~) (might be different depending on keyboard region) actually activated what's called "walk" navigation, not "fly" navigation. If you use the menus to get to it, instead of the shortcut, you want to select "walk navigation" from the View->Navigation menu instead of "fly navigation". And you definitely want to use "walk" in this situation because "Fly" navigation is much harder to control and its not really meant to be used to position the camera for a still render but rather to make smooth camera movements for animation. Hope this helps and good job Blender Guru on the new donut tutorials.

    Short tip: If you scaled your donut to 0.12m or something not very different from this value and went to the shading tab, like in this video, and, you saw that you are really far from the objects. When you try to zoom in you see that you can't really because as you zoom further you see like the zooming capacity reaches a number close to zero and you can't zoom anymore. If you found yourself in this situation make sure to select all objects and click: Numpad -> . ; or a button that contains this keys -> ?/,. (all in shading tab) . Hope it helped and solved your issue!

    02:30 If for some reasons some objects (icing, sprinkles, camera, ..) should disappear when you click on shading, do this: on the right, upper corner where all the objects are click on the checkboxes on each list to turn them off and then click them again to turn them on again. By doing that they should appear again. It happened to me, too. Idk why Blender does this.

Repeat this process and add a Solidify modifier to finish it off and you're done!

    If the colors of the Long sprinkles are mixed and not clearly separated, it is highly likely that the "Pick Instance" option in the Instance on Points within the Geometry Nodes, which was explained around 14:46 in the previous Part 7 video, is not checked. So, that being said, I have included the point that I found confusing as a reference.

Finished it and learnt a lot: Part-8 select a obj and create a new material, link materials includin the round sphere and: shift+select+shift select the obj with metrial+ctrl+L+link materials use objinfo node in shading to create random base color -got some random colors now, add color ramp and change it to any color *gradient and use cont to use multiple diff colors. [use rgb and constant] and multiple color sections. now to ctrl+shift+D to duplicate the ramp node and then connect it to metallic and also duplicate that and connec to roughness, adjust the parameters and done. moving on to rendering. numpad0 to enter the camera mode or click on the camera icon. to fix the camera view, click N, then select camera to view in View tab. In render select Cycles, and use GPU Compute, cycles gives accurate rendering, if gpu compute is greyed out, go to edit, pref, system then under cycled render Devices, choose Optix or cuda and then select your gpu for AMD select HIP, for mac oneAPI, then done now you can use GPU compute. change the light parameter to 20w in the data tab in the left settings dock, then press Alt+g and then drag the light to wherever it looks good. ChANGE subdivision surface parameters of donut and sprinkles material and then make it look soft anf real. Feeling Motivated!

    @8:38 That isn't a bug with the one pink sprinkle. It is the color ramps sharing the same decimal space. If you set the 'Pos' number on the color ramp to be one decimal value different it goes away. On the screen they are both at '0.700'. Try setting the black and white one to '0.701' and it goes away. Mine went away when I did that.

    I did the donut tutorial back in 2017. I had an intel i7-2600 with a geforce 780. My first model after that was the enterprise refit. Not only was cycles super slow, but I rand out of CUDA memory and things like that. In 1080p the render took about an hour on the CPU (because of the CUDA issue). My current computer can do the same render in 4k for like 15 minutes. And if I flip to CUDA (geforce 3070) it takes bout 6 minutes. Granted that computer was 10 years old by the time I retired it.

    Hi Andrew! Love the tutorials. I'm new to blender but i am loving the process so far! I just a question around the sub surface options. They seem to be different in my version of blender (most recent version). Firstly subsurface isnt its own tab, its just under surfaces ion the materials tab. A second there does not seem to be an option to adjust the scale. Am I missing something? Thank you, man! Keep up the great work!

    Man i watched the section with the metalic colors probably 30 times. I just could not figure out how you were getting a really nice chrome finish on the sprinkles while i was getting only gross muddy sprinkles. It took me way to long to notice i was in rendered view and you were on material preview. I switched that and immediately got the same chrome colors you were getting.

    Pro tip: An exponential reduction of 1000% in your rendering time through the expedient strategy of capturing a photographic representation of authentic donuts. This not only obviates the necessity for meticulous modeling and texturizing endeavors but also results in the automatic imposition of ambient lighting and rendering intricacies. You don't even need to open Blender to do this!

    I dunno... It takes me a lot longer to make and decorate real donuts, then arrange them on a nice plate, get the lights set up and take a picture (or possibly 29) than it takes to render a simple scene, plus I can reuse the blender donuts in a different scene next week, unlike the real deal. I do have a fairly beefy rig, but even on a potato I dare say it'd be faster overall.

I just assumed I was already on 4.0 becuse of how new these videos were from when I installed blender lmao.

    Ive already had a few hickups that nearly gave me a panic attack while doing this course. When making a curved sprinkle, my sprinkle was warping instead of bending, had to use a different vid to fix it, then when i moved to the node tab, i could only see my donuts without icing or sprinkles, ended up being i had isolated the donuts. Im enjoying these as its fun to learn how to wrestle the program to do what you want.

    Hello! I am really enjoying this tutorial! I finished the coloring part, and now it is time to set the camera view and, for some reason, when I click the camera, the icing (with the sprinkles included) on one of the donuts is missing. Any idea what happened & how can I fix it? EDIT: Click camera button (or numpad 0) > click N to expand camera properties tab > Under ”view” there is a checkbox called Local Camera. Check it and it has to say "Camera". In my case it said "icing", so that is why my camera was "attached" to the icing. Not sure how this happened but changing it to camera fixed the problem and now I can see both donuts in camera viewport. :)

    You can do the metallicity/roughness with one node by mapping the alpha value to the roughness of certain rendered colours. Like how you mapped the colour value (the B->W axis) to metallicity of certain rendered colours.

    For anyone having an issue with your Camera viewpoint clipping when it gets too close to your scene, do this: 1. With the Camera selected, look at the bottom right side of the screen where you find render settings and materials etc. There will be a green camera icon, click on it. It'll take you to the camera settings. 2. Under Lens there will be a Clip Start setting. Set this to 0.001 (just like we did at the start of the series. Boom! Issue resolved. I believe this happens because-despite us having already done this at the start-the clip start setting was only applying to viewport clipping and not actual Camera clipping. Hope this helps anyone else with the same issue that I had.

    For making the metallic sprinkles, you can set the alpha of the colour ramp to 1 or 0 to change the metallic and roughness value. This would probably fix the issue with the purple shiny sprinkle.
