    I'm from a small village in India. 2 years ago, I stumbled upon your donut tutorial and started learning 3D on my laptop that I got from the chief minister of my state as a reward for performing well in the state exams. And now I'm a 3D artist in an American company for last 9 months where I design character-based products for 3D printing. Thanks you so much, Andrew. Keep doing the great work. God bless!❤

    A million times THANK YOU! I was diagnosed last year at 40 with a chronic illness which has left me pretty much disabled, with cognitive issues and no longer being able to work. I still want to find something I not only enjoy, but that also keeps me productive and possibly adds a little income. I came up with wanting to create CC for the Sims games. I managed simple recolours and adding new artwork to frames, but I really want to create from scratch. I downloaded Blender, watched a heap of tutorials and worked alongside them but usually stumbled out the gate with not having a mouse! I had near given up when I somehow came across your tutorial. 4 minutes in and you have included laptop users who don't use a mouse, lifesaver. So far this tutorial is so easy to follow and I'm actually excited to continue 🙏 Appreciate you so much!

Tutorials from erindale for the win. Also cinematic product visualisation is a valuable skill to learn. Check out Derek Elliots stuff if you haven't. For motion design and cool visualisation its obviously the one and only ducky3d. Also... I sent out over 70 applications hahaha

    I just learned today that this is your 4th donut tutorial. I began my Blender journey with your 2nd donut tutorial. Had no experience and no idea what I was doing. After a grueling several days, managed to cross the finish line with an epic looking coffee and donut scene. It was an amazing feeling of accomplishment that your tutorial made possible. Now begins the journey into your fourth Blender tutorial. The goal is to brush up on basic Blender skills, learn what Blender 4.0 is capable of, and compare the differences between the two. Very much looking forward to it.

    A few days back, I embarked on my journey to learn 3D animation using Blender. The first step? Finding a KZread channel that could guide me through with clarity and ease. After sifting through numerous options, I stumbled upon Blender Guru, and it perfectly fits the bill. From what I've experienced thus far, it's an absolute gem for beginners like me. The content is professionally crafted and incredibly easy to follow. Many thanks to Blender Guru for making this learning process so accessible and enjoyable.

    On a German keyboard layout (likely also some others) the backtick ` works as a so-called deadkey (i.e. it doesn't appear to do anything immediately - you have to press a subsequent key with which it composes into a different character) and is located on a different physical key on the keyboard (next to the backspace key). Which in effect means the shortcut doesn't work on those layouts and you have to rebind it first in the preferences.

    I started my Blender journey in January with your previous donut tutorial. After just 3 months I was applying for a school in 3d animation and visualization. The last entrance exam was held in May and I almost got in. Had a few months break during the summer but I'm back with more passion for 3d arts. Currently learning sculpting, which is something that would have helped with the exams a lot. Thanks for everything!

    And I don't know about you, but to ME, the biggest compliment a person can receive is somebody who learned a program based on YOUR TUTORIAL puts the end result of that tutorial into a well-received motion picture like "everything everywhere all at once"..... that sort of homage is one for the record books..... and is a testament to how much a GREAT TEACHER can influence and inspire a student. I'd wager that person wouldn't have even been in animation and 3d to the level of getting that gig if it weren't for that tutorial.... so the send-up with the donut is a high compliment.

Regarding Blender, I've always wanted to learn about arts, design and technology and I think Blender integrates all of that. This is just my third of fourth day but I've already learned so much.

The donut with icing is a superb example as it can be applied to about anything such applying armor or clothes to 3d. My goal is to make a 3D animation and render 2D spritesheets from several different angles. Very excited to start video 5. Great oob Blender Guru, keep up the absolute noob spoonfeed.

    Andrew is a great teacher and I have learnt a lot from him. I did my first donut back in 2019 and now I'm back to Blender. One word of advice for anyone starting it with a basic computer. Based on my experience with a cheap computer could only learn the basics because when it gets to the lighting, and editing complex object, applying boolean modifiers etc, I struggled and finally gave up. I basically lost patience waiting for the processor to make the calculation to perform a bit more complex action. So, my suggestion is buy a decent computer preferably one with a good video card that Blender supports so the whole software can run smoothly and you will be able to see what you're doing. I just bought a new computer (the cheap one broke) and since then my Blender skill improved massively. Now I can rotate a complex object, edit it and even casts shadow when I put a light next to it. All these things was a struggle with my previous PC. Time is precious so my new PC worth every penny. Very pleased now. :) Thanks Andrew for your great tutorials!
