Flexing with that new haircut I see.
@Imran Hossain That's dope, isn't it?
Actually haven't cut my hair in a while. Probably just the way I styled it today :)
@@blenderguru You look like Ben Affleck!!
Flexing that "all the hair salons are closed because of corona look"
@@blenderguru sculpting or particle system? Thx for the tutorial, very well explained...as always.
Ambient Occlusion for anyone who is wondering in 3.0 is under the render properties tab -> Light Paths -> Fast GI Approxmiation.
Thanks! I wonder what made them change the name so drastically.
also guys you don't need to do the denoising part. blender 3.0 has an option for denoising under render.
Using 3.3.1, using Fast GI Approximation made my shadows look terrible -- extremely dark with hard edges. Mine looks better without. (I'm using Cycles, btw.)
@@kj3d812 Exactly it doesn’t work like he did in the video so I just skipped the ambient occlusion part.
@@kj3d812 did you turn on Fast GI Approximation? you're supposed to leave that off and turn on Ambient Occlusion in View Layer Properties -> Light -> Other -> Ambient Occlusion
Took me about 20 minutes of head-scratching and shouting to realise why my shadows don't look like your's... I was on Eevee instead of Cycles...
dude i had to go back to one of his previous render vid on the donut and realizing it was on Eevee lol great tutorials
I was literally scratching my head sorting through the comments for the same problem when I saw your comment lol, thank you.
UPDATE> I hit cycles and my computer just dies. lmao
Same...
Thank you!
Thanks Andrew - great video!
Do you use blender for your vids?
k
@@carrotylemons1190 he does... said it in a video
@@carrotylemons1190 yes, he does
I wanna know the particle settings of the new haircut style
Just turn the quarintine modifier on and then go to sleep while it renders. There are other methods to do this of course. I call this one bedhead
@@natejaffa9083 😂😂😂
Ok, so you open the particle pane, click on advanced and put the following sliders to 100%:
K(inetic distribution)
P(article density)
O(pacity)
P(article closure)
and that should do it.
@@nathanwendling5529 😂😂, Kpop lol
16:25 If you don't see the render result in the compositing tab, switch the editor type (dropdown icon at the top left of the panel) to "image editor", then use the dropdown in the middle to switch to "render result". Also if you don't see the "Render Layers" and "Composite" nodes, make sure to click the "Use Nodes" checkbox.
This is incredibly helpful, but I still can't find the "Use Nodes" checkbox. I've compared my Compositing tab to Andrew's and the top bar that should have "Use Nodes" looks different in my viewport. There is no "Use Nodes" box, nor do I see the "Backdrop" and other things in the right corne. Could you help me at all? I feel like I'm missing something obvious.
@@EricVega Instead of selecting image editor, use compositor, then select use nodes.
@@EricVega probably found it already, but putting this here for anyone else with the issue, its on the top bar in compositing right below the help tab
@@mudkipz3213 thank you!!!
@@mudkipz3213 A lot more convenient thanks.
For everyone that is in blender 4.0 and upper and tries to find the ambient occlusion property go to Render Properties then Light Paths then Fast GI Approximation and you should see AO Distance which stands for as you may have guessed "Ambient Occlusion" Distance. Change the values the way you want finally for your render to look good.
When changing the values of the AO Factor, I either get the version without it at 0 and really dark and obvious occlusions anything beyond 0 to 1, like I get nothing in between ;-; just 2 extremes

It's actually pretty funny from a photographer's perspective that I've learned more about light in Blender than with my own lighting setup. The ease of set up and the wide range of infinite objects I can study light on is indispensable I've found. Remembering to constrain my limitations in the 3D space to mimic real world applications for practical use is hard sometimes but as far as the study of light and form goes, it's a great way to supplement and enhance real world practice. It's especially helpful in quarantine. But that's also why I love landscape photography. I know my light based on time of year and location, but in the end it's whatever the clouds give you. A lot more frantic haha.
Blender Guru: "I got Viewport denoising"
Me: *Starts to smile.
...
Blender Guru: "It only works with RTX Cards"
*Sad Screams in the Distance.
Felt the same way!
don't be sad, in 6-8 years we'll all have RTX cards
You can use bone studio’s blender branch.it have OIDN viewport denoiser and it’s not RTX only.
juutuub0
The new RTX cards coming later this year should bring much better Optix performance for a more reasonable cost.
@@juutuub0 wtf? i still have an 9 year old card... f for me
Another fantastic tutorial to sharpen the 3D Blender skillset! And yes, I went through the entire chair series...totally worth the time and effort! There were so many tips that I had to continually stop to note each one. I now have about three pages of new tips and shortcuts to reference!
This is the most comprehensive intermediate tutorial on blender. Thank you for blessing us with this!!!
I love how you can see the progression in each thumbnail of him looking more and more dishevelled
really, he looks way better with his hair like this.. i thought any way ..
blender guru: my render took 9 secs, yours might take a bit longer
my pc: get crashed
me: oh shit, here we go again ;-;
switch to evee! low end pcs are good with evee
Thank you for bringing us this quality of tutorials, i know it's not as easy and simple as it seems.
Don't hesitate too much to do tutorials, you're a good teacher instinctively ! another time, thank you !
ive completed lot of tutorials here on youtube, what i love the most about your style is attention to detail and true photorealism, you really making photorealistic PRODUCTION READY assets, its amazing how you explain things, and the AO render pass just blew my mind, love it !... thank you!!
I have been using this for years in my render application and was so glad that Blender also has this. I think think is one big feature many people don't know it exist nor do they use it. It can make you architectural render so much better. But it can also make you products shots way better!
I just wanted to say thank you for this tutorial and the donut tutorial. I'm a 2D artist who's always wanted to transition into 3D and because of your tutorials I feel competent and capable now. Thank you so so much.
Easily the most enjoyable part of the course! Great teaching Andrew!
You're the most patient and precise Blender instructor online man. Respect!
so so helpful, ive been working on learning blender as an industrial designer and feel confident enough to make some models in just over a month, i still got a lot to learn but your vids have been gold, thanks so much Sir
Reminds me of 2014 when I learned Blender. Your cave enterence tutorial was one of the first things I did.
10:20 FYI I'd leave it at 'None' if later I were to edit the final render in an image editor like Photoshop.
watched the whole series in 2 days, PERFECT.
Not sure how this has so few many comments, but this is a professional-grade tutorial that allows me to experiment on my own, but teaches me at the same time. Thank you.
Man when you started adding those pastel colored backgrounds, it made me really want to buy that chair.
When people finish these series, I feel like they must feel like they are being baptized in fire. So much great information. Great job.
Hi Andrew. Thanks for the amazing tutorial series. By following this series I have not just learnt to make a chair but have got a rough framework to model, UV unwrap, Materials and lighting of almost any hard surface.
Thanks Andrew! Just started with blender, followed one of your dognuts and now this chair. Your way of teaching is impiccable!
Please make tutorial about "how to create character" Your explanation of making things and " do magic" in Blender are really easy to understand. That why i would like to watch it.
I'm genuinely excited every time there's a new Blender Guru video.
Thank you very much, this is the third series of blender videos that I've watched on your channel. I am sure I will finish my university thesis
applying all that I've learned from you.
Thank you very much for your tutorials! They're clear, easy to follow and well done. I never used blender, as it seemed too complicated, but now I can see how great tool it is! And modelling furniture is exactly what I was looking for. Great teaching skills!
this year i dedicate to learning blender as well as i can, thanks for giving me the faith that i can do it, your tutes are the main reason im giving it a go yeah ;)
and? how did your year go?
I would love to see a series on Modeling for Unreal Engine and how to import everything correctly in order to have an organized library for level design. I really appreciate all the free content but i also wouldnt mind if it was a premium series. Looking forward to what ever content you have for us next, regardless 👍🏻
Thanks a lot Andrew for making such an amazing tutorial series! Tbh I learnt a lot. Would recommend to watch the whole series. He could made a video like "chair in 1 minute" but made 10 parts of around 20 mins each.
Thanks a lot for all the free content that you make for us, i started watching it all after watching your revamped donut series and i gotta say : You helped me a ton !
I cannot wait to go through all the content you made on this channel, even tho it'll probably take me like 15 years or smth.
Again thanks a lot for everything !
Love from France !
Happy Teacher’s Day, Andrew; Blenderguru! 🥳 thank you for your contribution to the community. Ive learnt a lot from you! 🙏
This is really a very high quality tutorial, I'm impressed
This is the best 3d channel on UA-cam. Just watching everyday without practicing I could start modeling and making some cool stuff! Thanks Andrew!!!
Another tutorial finished. Thank you again for your amazing work, Andrew! I've already learned so much, now I'll explored some of the other tutorials you've uploaded.
I completed the tutorial Andrew. Thanks a lot for making these. Blender is such a great piece of software. :)
I really liked the tutorial series. Although I'm allready an advanced blender user, I definitely lerned a view awsome tricks. 👍🏼
Awesome series Andrew... Hats off to you for the style, pace, information and result. Thank you!
I love the patience/passion you have when teaching!
*THE BEST TUTORIAL EVER*
from South Korea
after completing this I feel like I can model anything from my mind :D I know thats so wrong but I really learned a lot and am much more motivated thanks to your lovely tutorial Andrew :). Really appreciate the content
I feel exactly the same way!
the how to make white backdrop!!! Genius, and so useful!! So many gems here!
Your tutorials are amazing. Everyone has a gem in it. Thank you
When I go into the Compositing tab (16:28) it's empty, help ?
Figured it out : you need to check the "use node" box
Check "Use nodes" in top left corner
@@mareks7844 when i do that i don't have the same nodes than he have
@@jeandarmery7246 you probably need to check the "Denoising Data" button in the Passes section of the View Layer Properties tab. He shows that at @16:14
@@WelhamGaming yes thank you i figured that out after like 1 hour, but i forgot to put it here for other people
@@jeandarmery7246 Hey, "other people" here, thanks
Thank You for this Series..
Man, that was such a nice series to follow almost every day! Thank you for that!!
I learned so many useful tips and skills in this series; this is a real professionnal course that you gave us.
Thank you very much.
For 5:16, guys, incase your Bevel isn't working - do this.
1. Select your plane and go to Edit mode
2. Right click - Select Merge - Merge by Distance
3. Bamm. Done.
Been stuck for so long in this step.
Thank you!!!! I was stuck in this step too, your comment save me
Thanks!!
THANK YOU MAN !! Lost 1h on this sh*t ! Hope you have a great day
@@xthefriendsx glad :)
thank you!
Achievement unlocked: "True ending"
For someone that's only been using Blender for a week, this is such a valuable tutorial :)
I used to dread Blender to the point watching a simple tutorial was enough to make me complete lost.
But now I actually embrace it with open arms, thanks for the tutorials :D
The suspense! I can't tell you how the anticipation of a new video coming from you is much reminiscent of the forgotten time when we had to wait a week to see a new anime episode on tv!
Btw, your content is probably the most part of my blender education, when the software was all divided into windows and was much harder to approach from a novice. Thanks for all the good teaching!
Aw that's heartwarming. Glad to hear my vids have helped :)
The length of the video doesnt matter it's the information and tips you tells and what's up with your hair
I love it
I love how this guy has no fluff intro and just goes straight into it. I love it.
Great tutorial series! Learnt so much from you! Never thought that learning something could be so easy and fun. Thanks, Andrew!
These tutorials are SO damn good
Noone told my rendering that little animation would take this long. It's been a couple months but we're getting there😂
it took me a whole afternoon to render the 30 frame donut animation. i fear this one

Thank you for your tutorials Andrew, your teaching method is great across your videos. I'm studying Blender and your videos are a must.
i'd have needed this series when i started blender ! i went through so much trouble in the past with everything this series covers !

Andrew, thanks a lot for making these tutorials. I did the donut first and have just finished the chair. Enjoying the videos, keep it up.

That's $5k just in GPU holy shit
mine rendered in 7.5 ..... minutes LMAO

Thanks a lot Andrew! Your donut tutorial got me interested in Blender3D, now this chair tutorial got me hooked and learned me a lot in the process. Can't wait to start on some new projects and learn some more!
Yaaaaay! I've walked through all the chair course! Thank you for the awsome useful tutorial series!!
For those using 3.x: If you use the Denoise node in the Compositor, you may end up with a bunch of white squares as your render, instead of what you see when you render a single image. (I just waited half an hour for my render only to discover this.) Apparently there was a change in 3.0, which I learned about in this video ua-cam.com/video/6EGNUsC_l7A/v-deo.html&ab_channel=BhagathGoud. As someone else here mentioned, just use Denoise in your Render settings and skip the Denoise node in the Compositor.
If you want to do a 360 around your object, you can also parent the background to the empty and it will move around as well. Do this instead of trying to make a 360 background, which would be a pain (I tried)
For a quick 360 there is the "turn around camera" add-on build into blender, which works pretty well.
Does light work well in this case?
Yes! my chair turned out amazing. Thank you so much for this tutorial series.
Another tutorial down! This is some quality stuff Andrew, every part had something useful to add and I enjoy every bit of it! Thank you!
If anyone is struggling with getting your camera to be a square instead of a rectangle in 3.0, change the Sensor Fit in the Camera Properties to Vertical, then go into the Output Properties and change the resolution.
Thank you so much!
My gosh thank you! lol
*Andrew:* _Mentions live viewport denoising._
*Me:* _Pauses the video, and immediately goes to Blender to turn it on but can't find it_
*Also me:* _Looks all over the internet looking for the denoiser._
*Me again:* _Eventually gives up and returns to Andrew's tutorial._
*Andrew:* "It only works with RTX graphics cards,"
*Me:* _quiet inhale_ "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..."
It now works on all CPUs :)
Thank you for this chair tutorial. It was so nice to model it and I learned a lot of new things. The bonus lighting tutorial was interesting too.
never in my life had i ever thought tht i'd marvel at a chair this way as if it was the most beautiful thing in the world
Next episode: _"3D printing the chair, and using it in everyday life"_
Hey, don't steal avatars! :P
Get a 900$ dollar chair for free with this one simple trick
Would you be able to do a video on rendering a LEGO model? That would be great!
Done!Yay! Thank you so much. Best tutorials in the world. SO VERY HELPFUL!
Kudos to me for finishing something from start to end. Thanks Andrew for a really nice series. It was really fun.
I need to study now, but no, chair is more important
No study is.
Same with me😂
Same
chair is priority
Chair is more important - what do you want a normal job for anyways?
Be a 3D artist!
"oh yeah then give it another render" me, who took 10 minutes on the last one with my old-ass computer: "WHAT?"
Thanks to Andrew I really enjoyed the whole series. Can't wait for the next video
Bro. I came here to learn one specific thing and I ended up learning 10 super useful things that I wasn't even expecting to learn from a video like this.
Andrew: rendered in 9 seconds, yours may take a lil longer
me: rendered in 7,5 *minutes* /cries in poor/
I was hoping to see Eevee change this, but it looks like most people are not using it due to the limitations. They just throw a lot of modern GPU power at it.
Hey Teny, Alot of graphics cards are supported by blender. Go you your Preferences > System and if you see it enable Cuda. That's all you do, give it a try. My card is a 1080ti works for me ;). I hope that helps.
@@windybut8266 thank you but im already rendering on my GPU, i just have an older setup
SEIZE THE MEANS OF RENDERING lol
@@windybut8266 My Nvidia Geforce 610M isn't there. Weird........
Great tutorial, Thanks. I watched the whole chair serie. Question: Does anyone know how to make a render pass on Blender? I usually need to go to Photoshop to do xtras retouch, like isolating the chair from the background, chaging some colores, etc
Go to the search bar here on UA-cam and type:"blender render passes 2.8" (without quotes). You'll find lots of videos there explaining how to do it ;).
I'll be re-watching this more than a few times i think. You really packed a lot in there. Awesome video. cheers!
I/we, really are really happy with this tutorial and were glad you're yet happy with your work, thank you.
I've been accidentley using Eevee for the whole tutorial, no wonder I had to spend like double the time to make it look alright lmao
you too? hahaha...
High five to everyone who completed this tutorial!
Just the best Blender guy here on UA-cam 👍🏻👍🏻 Thank you for helping us to improve our technics 🙏🏻
Fantastic! Went through the entire series and really enjoyed it! Thank you
Hey, I don't know why, but when I add the plane (4:24) , my shadow isn't "attached" to the chair, like if it was flying, but my chair is at the same height as the plane.
Can someone help me???
Thanks
it happened to me too. check taht you are using the cycles engine instead of eevee, it worked for me... let me know!!
@@gaia8676 Thank you so much. It was driving me nuts and this was the solution.
@@gaia8676 Thanks, I ran into the same prob
@@gaia8676 but now my chair legs have some kind of reflection hahaha
@@gaia8676 Thanks So Much!!!
Blender Guru: why does your specular highlight looks so much brighter than mine. My settings are exactly the same as yours but you have a beautiful bright highlight on the back of the chair?
Same here, no matter what I do it looks dull with very little reflection
Thank you, i was following the entire tutorial, sometimes i make mistakes so i need to read the comment section etc
but it was fun at all
Thanks Andrew, I have finished the chair successfully. Really great tutorial!
