    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!❤

It was worth every buck, but I knew I could not compete with people who've been modeling for 10 years so I focused a little bit on the new stuff like geometry nodes. 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

    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!

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.

      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 quit blender just in early 2021 because I tried to learn everything myself (and failed miserably) but now in 2024 I’ve got the same passion to learn blender and thanks to your donut tutorial I’m getting a hang of things!

    I started with a pre-2.8 version of this tutorial, and wouldn't have touched Blender if not for your donut tutorial helping me make sense of all of it. It was easy to follow, thoroughly explained, and most importantly for a pretty hostile UI at the time, comforting. Thank you for bringing so many people into this marvelous piece of software.

    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.

    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.

    I actually scrolled past the thumbnail thinking why is YT recommending this old video to me now? it's probably even less accurate to follow now, then noticed the upload date! 😅
    This time I'll be learning all I can from you, I own a 3D printer that I use to print patterns to make molds for my metal casting projects, so far I was limited to websites like Thingyverse.

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. Thanks in advance for future tutorials!!

    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!
