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!❤
I hated my old job in marketing and then I did the last donut tutorial somewhere around summer 2022. Next week I am starting my new job as a 3D artist. You literally gave my life a completely new meaningful and fun direction. Thanks a billion Andrew. Keep on making these videos. Kudos to you!
@@lonelyberg1808 In the beginning I learned most of the fundamentals over at CGcookie. 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
For anyone watching the donut tutorial for the first time, I first learned Blender from one of the previous donut tutorials and now I'm a full time 3D shoe designer. You're in the right place here. Have fun!!
@@TehBananaBread ooer, lucky I didn't post a comment saying I get paid to use it to create 2d vector art for engraving into metal using a diamond tipped tool propelled by a CNC, also for subsurface laser engraving inside blocks of glass to be used as awards and trophies.
@@Nurulain-nq8by It is, you can just mess around Blender and tinker with your ideas, you''ll also learn new things along the way while experimenting with different tools.
For the love of god, this is what every tutorial should be like. Actually going through everything, rather than skipping things that are "obvious" to people who've been using it for some time. A milion times thank you for taking the time to do such a proper detailed guide AND redo it as necessary to keep up with UI changes. You're a god.
*for fucking real. Too many tutorials don't bother on elaborating steps/processes and think its just for hyperspecific people that just need to know a thing or two when in reality its people who may have no idea what they're doing.*
Ok classmates, Put your Hands up if you were struggling and had to rewind this video too many times, but you stuck through it because your teacher is awesome and encouraging. Seriously dude thank you
Andrew, words cannot express my gratitude to you for teaching me Blender. I might only have watched you on UA-cam, but I will never forget your lessons.
@@bulentgercek I did not say it as a bad thing. The guy knows the technique for sure. He is just not talented nor original. His creations are not original. He is juste like 99.99% of the industry. The guy has an obvious talent for teaching and he is really passionate.
6 months ago when I started blender, the Donut was the gateway to my journey. To all the beginners, yes you will rewatch it 10 times but it's so worth it. Good luck guys and welcome 2 blender
Only 10 times? I have doubts it will be that few. I also had no idea that 4.0 was releasing, so I just finished the previous tutorials YESTERDAY which might give me some conflicting memory on workflow xD
so at first i was obsessed with learning it like i always do when something new comes to me but after i did the donut I would spend like 1 hour a day learning a new skill in Blender and 1 hour a day randomly just modeling or something else i learn from before. For like 3 months it was like that till i felt good enough to use it on my animation channel and ofc i suck at Blender but just seeing how better i get each month helps me more forward... i wanna look back at my animations from 2day in 12 months and see how far i gotten@@NewEra-u3b
I'm a 30y old dude pretty much stumbling through life unsure what to do with myself, this here marks a beginning of a journey which, I hope, will give me joy and purpose once more. I've been inspired by hundreds of comments on your videos to make this step, thank you Andrew.
Now that I'm retired, I find myself with a lot of free time, so I do a lot of Assetto Corsa, Farming Simulator, The Sims, etc. and thought I might play around with some modding. Nothing serious, just more of a "How does this work/what happens when I change this?" kind of thing. I quickly discovered that I might need to learn some 3D stuff and was slightly overwhelmed by the software, to say the least. Finding your "explain it to me like I'm 7 years old" kind of tutorials are a dream! (Actually, explain it to me like I'm 63...7 year old's probably already know how to use it!) Thank you so much. I can't wait to see what I can do by the end of this series!
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!
@@RichardGiovanniNainggolan The more complex the scene is, the more RAM you need. You should try and see how well it works for you but it will be fine for any stuff you do early on.
This is what I like about this guy. He always makes tutorials for every new version of Blender so that every beginner who just downloaded the new version can cope. What a wholesome guy. Keep it up, buddy. :)
Tip: If you're in the camera view you can press the shortcut 'shift + `' to enter the 'walk' navigation mode. If you're familiar with FPS video game controls (WASD to move around), this'll be a much easier way to navigate your scene. Left Click to confirm new camera position, or right click/esc to cancel
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.
Hello Andrew, in 2022 august I dropped out from my university because it made me really depressive. I wanted to do something i love and i started learning 3d modeling from your videos. after almost one and half years now I'm working as a full time freelancer on fiverr, making a good living, working when i want and most importantlly being happy all the time! Everything I do now is something i love and I have never felt this much happiness and calmess in my life!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE WORK YOU ARE DOING!! I'M FOREVER GREATFUL FOR YOU!!!! ❤
@@tomhughes4653 Hello Tom, Thank you!! I started posting gigs and applying small jobs on freelancing sites like fiverr , upwork , freelancer and people per hour! What worked out for me was fiverr and upwork. Fiverr taking some time to get work, but in upwork you can submit proposals for jobs and get some work. Hope that helps! ❤❤
Fell out of blender a couple years ago, saw that it's in 4.0 now and of course the same guy that helped me out the first time is still being an absolute king
I'm trying to pick up a new hobby to keep me busy after kicking my vices of choice to the curb. I decided on Blender as it is something I always wanted to learn from watching Captain Disillusion's videos. As a 24 year old whose life has not worked out the way he wanted, seeing how awesome and driven this community is gives me hope and the drive to improve. Your videos are super encouraging and helpful. Thanks a million for all you do!
I read comments about how many people have only taught themselves blender through UA-cam and now have a job. Two years ago, I would never have thought how far this decision would take me... In 2 days I start my new job as a 3D designer and visualizer in a great company and I am so happy that I took this path. Thank you, Blender Guru, for helping so many people on their way. You are a great inspiration, motivation and enrichment for UA-cam and this great 3D community :))))
Should be more than enough I think, of course the more the better, but you should have no major issues, well if you have issues you will sense it haha@@RichardGiovanniNainggolan
@@RichardGiovanniNainggolan I use 16 GB for modelling characters, 12 should be enough to start. You can always upgrade, but you don't need much RAM to start.
Just awesome! I decided I was going all in to learn Blender over the next 30 days. Started with the first 3 videos and then made 5 more donuts without watching to get it solidly in my head. Continuing on to the next 3 in the series. I've learned so much just in the first 2 days! Thank you for taking the time to teach your knowledge. It is very much appreciated!
A few days back, I embarked on my journey to learn 3D animation using Blender. The first step? Finding a UA-cam 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.
it's been a couple of years since i made my first donut. Since that day i started working on 3D animations as a freelancer and over the last year i built a studio that it is now my life and it's been able to provide for me, my wife and for 5 other people that we hired over the year. I cannot express my gratitude to you, blender software and the community. You changed my life forever. And i look forward to a day where i could shake your hand and tell you the impact that you've had in our community. You've been my master. Thanks for everything and greetings from Chile
A new version of Blender hasn't properly landed until a new Blender Guru tutorial series comes out. Andrew, I first discovered your tutorials at version 2.8 back in 2018. Helped me with lots of projects in between, and still learning! Many thanks for the excellent tutorials that keep on coming. Always fun to follow along.
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.
I studied computer animation and multimedia production at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 98. Made a good living at it up and retired in 21. I used Caligari TrueSpace this entire time and made my share of tutorials in the early 2000s. Im getting back into modeling and animation and I want to learn Blender. Thank you for this.
Real talk - I'm not that great in Blender but I still remember this series for making the donut as literally one of my fondest memories. Learning Blender feels like you're learning how to make a universe with the click of a button. Thanks Andrew!!!!
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.
Here we go again... 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.
Great tutorial! The way you narrate is fantastic. My attention always fades in an out when I watch video but your intonation and rhythm are just right to highlight the important parts so I don't get lost. Also your narrative structure is clear and very well organized. It's rare to find someone doing this so well. That's a lot of work to develop as a skill, I can only respect that!
It all begins with a donut... Thank you for this and every other tutorial I've followed, Andrew! I've used the knowledge from making sprinkles countless times. The ArchViz stuff, the glass cup... the things I learned from those first lessons are still skills I rely on today. The way you teach makes things very easy to understand, learn and adapt. Thanks again, Andrew!
I was just googling around to find some tutorial to get into modeling, and finding your channel was a really lucky shot. You are so didatic and encouraging that I am excited to keep learning. I could understand all the video even dont being fluent in English. Thank you, man
People like you, honestly make the world better. Giving out free high level, well put together and very valuable information on you area of expertise. Its an absolute treat to see. I remember when I watched the first version of this guide when it first came out. I found it amazing even back then, but now that I'm a bit older I realize how valuable you and people like you are. Thanks for you work.
i followed your first donut tutorial in 2016. now im 8 years into blender, having more fun than ever and even earning money with it. thank you for getting me started!
You know how impactful Blender Guru's donut tutorial for the community. Almost all of the "Blender Progress" videos are always started with Donut tutorial, thank's for the tutorial and God bless you Andrew.
As a seasoned 2D dsigner on PS and Illustrator, 3D just always fascinated me. I'm 15 minutes into the video and just paused to say thank you! you really captured my attention to carry on learning and mastering this skill that hopefully will open new opportunites for me in the future. BIG thank you again!
Been afraid too long and tried this tutorial twice before. I will finish this one. I tried reading the manual yesterday to try my 3rd attempt at Blender. That was rough and I was lost.😅 Seeing this in my feed was a blessing. Thank you for continuing to do new tutorials as the software updates.
I just downloaded blender (as is the case with the majority of these comments) and this series was a big help to get my creative juices flowing. I was looking into blender because I am trying to develop a game with my friends with some 3d aspects and I had never used blender before or really any 3d program. So, thank you for helping me!
I love how I only just realised that this video was screenshotted and poorly explained on a slideshow in my secondary school computing class and I struggled to make one basic model, through 3 weeks of classes, of a tophat on a monkey head. (I wonder where they got the idea from) And now in the first watchthrough of this video I found later in life I understand the mechanics and hotkeys far better than when I had to memerise all of them from a word document and do tests on it. I honestly do not know why my teachers didn't show us the video, this does a really great explaination of everything, maybe they got a bit jealous
Last year I started 3d from this channel , i did the blender 2.0 and from there i've never looked back , and saw tremendous growth in my 3d skills , thank you for your continuous efforts Blender guru, Gonna take this tutorial again and feel nostalgia 😂🎉❤
Freaking hell. I never progress, but am hooked on picking up Blender every time you put out a new tutorial and making donuts for a few weeks. I'm very curious to see how much things have progressed since our last adventure together. Great to see you still teaching the masses.
I started my Blender hobby when 2.8 got released and your donut series was essential for me. Today I'm really excited about many of 4.0's new features and while I don't consider myself a "complete beginner" by any means any more I'm thrilled to relive this experience and highly confident that there's still a lot to learn from you even in a beginner tutorial. Let's go!
Thanks dude. I've been in the industry for a long time and finally getting round to learning Blender - your tutorials are awesome. Keep up the good work!
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 learning blender with the 2. version in 2020. Last week I got my first job as a Games Environment Artist to work on the new Fable. Thank you so much Andrew, you are a legend!
Thank you!!! I went through your 2.8 series a long while back just to find that, although I loved doing this, my computer wasn't up to the task (1 second of video took 1 hour to render). I finally upgraded my pc to something that can handle more with the hopes of getting more into cgi and blender. I am so glad to see you have created updated tutorials for the updated software.
You're an incredible teacher, Andrew. I can see how precisely you've honed this tutorial after re-making it so many times, like a tenured professor re-giving his favourite lecture. Your skill at making such a complex program so non-threatening will be appreciated for generations of vfx artists to come, it's already paying dividends in the film industry!! Can't wait to tuck into blender's capabilities properly this time with your friendly guidance, after being scared off a few years ago by all the functions and hotkeys 😅😅 I look forward to sharing what I create ! Keep up the wonderful work 🙏💕
@@R1Keno lol yeah, i just forgot to comment complete in the comments of the other parts. Now I'm practicing on how to sculpt characters from a udemy course I bought.
Hi Blender Guru, I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your Blender 4.0 Donut Tutorial Series. I followed along step-by-step and I'm incredibly happy with the results! This series was a fantastic way to learn the basics of Blender. It was clear, concise, and really helped me understand the software. Thank you again for creating such a valuable resource. Your hard work and dedication are truly appreciated! Please keep up the amazing work.
Thanks! I watched did your whole series back in 2.8 , now all the way in blender 4 and you have this again, its super fun , and you are a real pro!! I just bought a 3D printer so trying to remember this stuff to make things I can print. Most people I see are using fusion 360 but I want to use blender instead !
I tried learning blender by skipping the basics and just winging it and that went predictably disastrous so I’m finally gonna make the damn donut 😂 thanks for these tutorials, they’re engaging while still being slow enough for me to keep up 💚
Thank you for this. Been finding pockets of time in between my career in the medical field to learn blender and the version just keeps changing. Seeing that you’re starting a new series with Blender 4.0 makes me happy. Hope you’ll also do a beginner course on geometry nodes like beginner basics. Thanks
There are lots of other videos on geometry nodes out there - here's one where someone teaches you to make a donut with geo nodes: ua-cam.com/video/kkIDdmIBBlY/v-deo.html
@@ColinFox I don’t mean donut with geometry nodes. I mean like understanding what each node does and how to approach using geometry nodes to do those satisfying animations. Like how would a person start and what node to start with based on the outcome they want
@@dialac1a bit late to your comment but ducky3d just dropped a geo nodes deep dive on how he learned and a full 5hr course if you are really going deep.
I first used blender in 2017 for school and followed your 2016 tutorial (cus the teacher didn't know shit) fast forward to today, I want to use blender, but so much has changed in the program, look up a tutorial and its you again!! The cheat sheet helped me 7 years ago and I know it will help me today! I'm so happy knowing you're still doing tutorials!
hey Andrew, thank you for continuing serving the BLender and 3d artist community. Never will forget that you were one of the few that provided premium quality tuts in the enternal V1 days/years/aeons. soo thank you
After probably 5 years of Roblox Studio Animation Editor, I finally decided to get blender. This feels like it'll take some getting used to, and no one's probably going to see this, but this feels way better for an animation-focused thing. Thank you man.
Been an animator for a long time, finally getting into 3d modeling and sculpting. Incredibly grateful for this series. Also, as a note, it took me forever to find the preferences because they're under the EDIT dropdown menu on Mac instead of the usual system dropdown like every other program I've ever used.
I did a donut last time and I'm sure as hell gonna do it again. Just because your tutorials are greatly structured and actually fun to watch and follow
As someone who rarely uses Blender, these tutorials are amazing to catch up with everything again, with this being the third doughnut tutorial series I'll be going through. Thank you!
thank you so much for doing this tutorials andrew! it was my first tutorial about making a thing in blender...it all started here. about 2 years later im now capeable of doing the stuff i allways wanted - like sculpts, things for 3d printing, game assets, or simply just awesome renders in blender itself, i can not say how thankful i am. you are really the blender guru!
After several searches for basic tutorials I could only find videos that were few specific and sometimes weren't that explanatory, thanks to this video that saved my life I was finally able to learn something. I still need to practice and try some things out for myself but it has already been a big help. New sub and like ❤❤
I started with simple stuff from passable tutorials in blender 3, but even with a tenuous grasp of the basics, I think the rules are about to change. To everyone taking this path, best of luck.
Thanks for your tutorials to keep us up to speed! Blender seems to be accelerating its advances and versions that I can hardly keep up with it! I still remember 2.9.3 and now we are on 4.0?! Amazing!
Wow, it's so impressive just reading all these comments of gratitude to Andrew from all around the globe from many many people who have started their professional 3d journey with one of Andrew's previous tutorials. I'm not one of them, 3d is, well at least at the moment, just a kind of passion and hobby, but still, thank you for all your tutorials and your positive energy!🙂
Alright, so it is 2024 and here I am, searching for a new skill to learn. As a graphic designer, I always notice how 3D is always wanted so I am here to give it a try. This "first" video truly gave an introduction and I feel ready to follow along. Nicely done! You earned yourself a subscriber and a big thumbs up sir! Thank you!
Dude. My school taught me Maya pretty well and I wanted to move some things to blender for the geo nodes and compositing ability and that industry compatible cheat sheet is an absolute GODSEND. THANK YOU.
hello, weary traveller. oh, you have come to these lands in search of mastering the wizardry of blender? well, i must warn you. though it seems straightforward, it is a dangerous path ahead. steel yourself for the crashes and glitches that will befall you, and you will rise to be the greatest of them all. good luck, weary traveller.
I was going to leave this comment on the last video, but since I do have a few humble suggestions for others following along I thought it might be better placed here at the beginning. First of all, I just have to say this was a great series and I really appreciate you doing all this work for free. You are an excellent teacher (maybe a little too efficient in your workflow at times, because I had to pause frequently to stay caught up with you). I learned a lot, and I am really looking forward to the paid beginner course. I didn't track my time on this, but the render time for me was about 7.5 hours on a single RTX 2070 and I would guess I spent at least that much time, if not more, doing all the modeling, setup, compositing, etc. and now... all I can think about is how badly I want to eat a real donut! Now, speaking from my own experience and frustrations, if I could offer any advice to others taking on this project it would be the following: 1. If you're using a newer version of Blender (I used 4.1), don't take all of the hotkeys or menu options he says as gospel. Some of them have changed (such as K instead of I for inserting specific keyframes in your animations). Also, in 4.1, origin to geometry didn't work for me with the sprinkles, but origin to center of mass (volume) did. Now that I'm typing this out and I have had time to think it through though, it could also have been because I screwed up the extrusion/beveling process. 2. If something isn't happening when you press a key, pay attention to what mode you are in (Object, Edit, etc.), and where your mouse cursor is hovering, because these aspects DO affect what happens when you press certain keys (again, keyframes and also normalizing). 3. If you duplicate or extrude and then cancel the movement or resizing, it does NOT cancel the duplication or extrusion. He does mention this, but I forgot in the heat of the moment. You can end up with some funky geometry if you're not careful, but there are fixes for many of these situations so look at the forums and look through the comments because they saved me on multiple occasions (looking at you, stupid plate bevels). 4. The sidebar hotkey also got me, and I had a hard time figuring this out because my searches were fruitless: In Blender 4.1, don't hide the sidebar by dragging it with the mouse. If you do, pressing N will no longer pop it out again. To fix, just drag it back out, then press N to hide it when you're done and press N when you need it again. Maybe they'll fix this in a future version. Thanks again Blender Guru, and happy Blending, everyone!
I've had a story I've wanted to release for almost 5 years now, I have the characters designs and scripts. I don't have the funds to do it in live action, so I figured animating the piolet on my own would be a good first step. But omg trying to learn the software without tutorials is so freaking hard. Thank you so much for showing me how to get started.
@@nodiggity8746 so far not that much progress I’m still in highschool so I’m mostly focusing on my classes but I’m still getting somewhere I’ve learned the basics of texturing modeling and the particle system
Fun Fact: In 2050 after following this series of tutorials for Blender 28 you will be able to print your donuts on your home food 3d printer! Bon Appetit! ;)
I remember having to do a donut on a newer version of blender than your last tutorial. Gotta admit, I got stuck in a few places, but managed to find most settings on my own. Making that donut was some of the most fun I've ever had using a computer. Thanks so much for making these tutorials. Time for another donut.
At last, have found a tutorial for Blender that i can understand and follow. Have learnt more in this one video, then all the other put together. Keep up the good work.
I'm 2:36 in and I'm already lost as to how you deleted the cube. Im on a iMac and I don't see that option in the edit tab nor does it work by me clicking the cube and pressing delete on my keyboard.
That is me rn! I went to the side part where it says “scene collection” and I right clicked the cube. There is a delete option there. Idk if there’s a faster way of doing it though !
Thanks for keeping this tutorial updated. Finally, I am able to take the time to finish it. I remember the first time I tried blender I was stumped on how to just move the cube. “I thought for love of God! I used Lightwave 3D and Bryce for years and I can't even figure out how to move this cube!” Of course I had not done any tutorials yet and it had been a few years since I had worked with any 3D software. Anyway keep up the great work.
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.

@@bulentgercek I did not say it as a bad thing. The guy knows the technique for sure. He is just not talented nor original. His creations are not original. He is juste like 99.99% of the industry. The guy has an obvious talent for teaching and he is really passionate.
6 months ago when I started blender, the Donut was the gateway to my journey. To all the beginners, yes you will rewatch it 10 times but it's so worth it. Good luck guys and welcome 2 blender
Only 10 times? I have doubts it will be that few. I also had no idea that 4.0 was releasing, so I just finished the previous tutorials YESTERDAY which might give me some conflicting memory on workflow xD
@@Atlas_Reduxlmao
how much time u give for learning I want to learn it as a secondary base
so at first i was obsessed with learning it like i always do when something new comes to me but after i did the donut I would spend like 1 hour a day learning a new skill in Blender and 1 hour a day randomly just modeling or something else i learn from before. For like 3 months it was like that till i felt good enough to use it on my animation channel and ofc i suck at Blender but just seeing how better i get each month helps me more forward... i wanna look back at my animations from 2day in 12 months and see how far i gotten@@NewEra-u3b

I'm a 30y old dude pretty much stumbling through life unsure what to do with myself, this here marks a beginning of a journey which, I hope, will give me joy and purpose once more. I've been inspired by hundreds of comments on your videos to make this step, thank you Andrew.

Now that I'm retired, I find myself with a lot of free time, so I do a lot of Assetto Corsa, Farming Simulator, The Sims, etc. and thought I might play around with some modding. Nothing serious, just more of a "How does this work/what happens when I change this?" kind of thing. I quickly discovered that I might need to learn some 3D stuff and was slightly overwhelmed by the software, to say the least. Finding your "explain it to me like I'm 7 years old" kind of tutorials are a dream! (Actually, explain it to me like I'm 63...7 year old's probably already know how to use it!) Thank you so much. I can't wait to see what I can do by the end of this series!
I'm already a professional 3D artist, but we must NEVER SKIP a Donut Tutorial from Andrew!
what kind of 3d models do you specialise in?

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!
Hi im curious is 12gb of laptop ram enough for doing these kind of things ?
@@RichardGiovanniNainggolanThat is more than enough. I am working on a laptop with 4gb RAM 🙂
@@RichardGiovanniNainggolan The more complex the scene is, the more RAM you need. You should try and see how well it works for you but it will be fine for any stuff you do early on.
Good Lucky! 💖
@@RichardGiovanniNainggolan Hello! Yes, a laptop with at least 8 GB of RAM can run Blender smoothly. It also depends of your CPU.
This is what I like about this guy. He always makes tutorials for every new version of Blender so that every beginner who just downloaded the new version can cope. What a wholesome guy. Keep it up, buddy. :)

thx. in unity i can do Q and E to fly upward and downward. is it in blender as well?
I use this daily. Can’t believe it wasn’t covered at all in this part one. It’s so useful!
@@dicksonZero yes. you can find more mods like turning gravity on/off, jumping, slow/fast movement etc, on the bottom of the viewport
Yeah I forgot to mention that 😂 I'll go over it in later parts.
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.
Hello Andrew, in 2022 august I dropped out from my university because it made me really depressive. I wanted to do something i love and i started learning 3d modeling from your videos. after almost one and half years now I'm working as a full time freelancer on fiverr, making a good living, working when i want and most importantlly being happy all the time!

I'm trying to pick up a new hobby to keep me busy after kicking my vices of choice to the curb. I decided on Blender as it is something I always wanted to learn from watching Captain Disillusion's videos. As a 24 year old whose life has not worked out the way he wanted, seeing how awesome and driven this community is gives me hope and the drive to improve. Your videos are super encouraging and helpful. Thanks a million for all you do!
👍👍
I read comments about how many people have only taught themselves blender through UA-cam and now have a job. Two years ago, I would never have thought how far this decision would take me... In 2 days I start my new job as a 3D designer and visualizer in a great company and I am so happy that I took this path. Thank you, Blender Guru, for helping so many people on their way. You are a great inspiration, motivation and enrichment for UA-cam and this great 3D community :))))

Just awesome! I decided I was going all in to learn Blender over the next 30 days. Started with the first 3 videos and then made 5 more donuts without watching to get it solidly in my head. Continuing on to the next 3 in the series. I've learned so much just in the first 2 days! Thank you for taking the time to teach your knowledge. It is very much appreciated!

A few days back, I embarked on my journey to learn 3D animation using Blender. The first step? Finding a UA-cam 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.

A new version of Blender hasn't properly landed until a new Blender Guru tutorial series comes out. Andrew, I first discovered your tutorials at version 2.8 back in 2018. Helped me with lots of projects in between, and still learning! Many thanks for the excellent tutorials that keep on coming. Always fun to follow along.
👍👍
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.
I studied computer animation and multimedia production at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 98. Made a good living at it up and retired in 21. I used Caligari TrueSpace this entire time and made my share of tutorials in the early 2000s. Im getting back into modeling and animation and I want to learn Blender. Thank you for this.
Real talk - I'm not that great in Blender but I still remember this series for making the donut as literally one of my fondest memories. Learning Blender feels like you're learning how to make a universe with the click of a button. Thanks Andrew!!!!
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.
Here we go again...
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.
Blender UI is still very hostile and terrible compared to Maya
Great tutorial! The way you narrate is fantastic. My attention always fades in an out when I watch video but your intonation and rhythm are just right to highlight the important parts so I don't get lost. Also your narrative structure is clear and very well organized. It's rare to find someone doing this so well. That's a lot of work to develop as a skill, I can only respect that!
It all begins with a donut...
Thank you for this and every other tutorial I've followed, Andrew! I've used the knowledge from making sprinkles countless times. The ArchViz stuff, the glass cup... the things I learned from those first lessons are still skills I rely on today. The way you teach makes things very easy to understand, learn and adapt.
Thanks again, Andrew!
I was just googling around to find some tutorial to get into modeling, and finding your channel was a really lucky shot. You are so didatic and encouraging that I am excited to keep learning. I could understand all the video even dont being fluent in English. Thank you, man

You know how impactful Blender Guru's donut tutorial for the community. Almost all of the "Blender Progress" videos are always started with Donut tutorial, thank's for the tutorial and God bless you Andrew.
I've watched this series many times & it is always refreshing and helpful. Highly recommend it even to well-versed Blender users.
As a seasoned 2D dsigner on PS and Illustrator, 3D just always fascinated me. I'm 15 minutes into the video and just paused to say thank you! you really captured my attention to carry on learning and mastering this skill that hopefully will open new opportunites for me in the future. BIG thank you again!

Been afraid too long and tried this tutorial twice before. I will finish this one. I tried reading the manual yesterday to try my 3rd attempt at Blender. That was rough and I was lost.😅 Seeing this in my feed was a blessing. Thank you for continuing to do new tutorials as the software updates.
I just downloaded blender (as is the case with the majority of these comments) and this series was a big help to get my creative juices flowing. I was looking into blender because I am trying to develop a game with my friends with some 3d aspects and I had never used blender before or really any 3d program. So, thank you for helping me!
I love how I only just realised that this video was screenshotted and poorly explained on a slideshow in my secondary school computing class and I struggled to make one basic model, through 3 weeks of classes, of a tophat on a monkey head. (I wonder where they got the idea from)
And now in the first watchthrough of this video I found later in life I understand the mechanics and hotkeys far better than when I had to memerise all of them from a word document and do tests on it.
I honestly do not know why my teachers didn't show us the video, this does a really great explaination of everything, maybe they got a bit jealous
Last year I started 3d from this channel , i did the blender 2.0 and from there i've never looked back , and saw tremendous growth in my 3d skills , thank you for your continuous efforts Blender guru,
Gonna take this tutorial again and feel nostalgia 😂🎉❤
Freaking hell. I never progress, but am hooked on picking up Blender every time you put out a new tutorial and making donuts for a few weeks. I'm very curious to see how much things have progressed since our last adventure together. Great to see you still teaching the masses.
I started my Blender hobby when 2.8 got released and your donut series was essential for me. Today I'm really excited about many of 4.0's new features and while I don't consider myself a "complete beginner" by any means any more I'm thrilled to relive this experience and highly confident that there's still a lot to learn from you even in a beginner tutorial. Let's go!
Thanks dude. I've been in the industry for a long time and finally getting round to learning Blender - your tutorials are awesome. Keep up the good work!
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 learning blender with the 2. version in 2020. Last week I got my first job as a Games Environment Artist to work on the new Fable. Thank you so much Andrew, you are a legend!
daamn man, good job!!!
Any links of ur works? Very interested how u got hired!
congrats!
Thank you!!!
I went through your 2.8 series a long while back just to find that, although I loved doing this, my computer wasn't up to the task (1 second of video took 1 hour to render). I finally upgraded my pc to something that can handle more with the hopes of getting more into cgi and blender. I am so glad to see you have created updated tutorials for the updated software.
👍👍
You're an incredible teacher, Andrew. I can see how precisely you've honed this tutorial after re-making it so many times, like a tenured professor re-giving his favourite lecture. Your skill at making such a complex program so non-threatening will be appreciated for generations of vfx artists to come, it's already paying dividends in the film industry!!
Can't wait to tuck into blender's capabilities properly this time with your friendly guidance, after being scared off a few years ago by all the functions and hotkeys 😅😅 I look forward to sharing what I create !
Keep up the wonderful work 🙏💕

I tried learning blender by skipping the basics and just winging it and that went predictably disastrous so I’m finally gonna make the damn donut 😂 thanks for these tutorials, they’re engaging while still being slow enough for me to keep up 💚
Thank you for this. Been finding pockets of time in between my career in the medical field to learn blender and the version just keeps changing. Seeing that you’re starting a new series with Blender 4.0 makes me happy. Hope you’ll also do a beginner course on geometry nodes like beginner basics. Thanks
There are lots of other videos on geometry nodes out there - here's one where someone teaches you to make a donut with geo nodes:
ua-cam.com/video/kkIDdmIBBlY/v-deo.html
the last donut i remember had geometry nodes as part of it so this one might too
@@ColinFox I don’t mean donut with geometry nodes. I mean like understanding what each node does and how to approach using geometry nodes to do those satisfying animations. Like how would a person start and what node to start with based on the outcome they want
@@dialac1a bit late to your comment but ducky3d just dropped a geo nodes deep dive on how he learned and a full 5hr course if you are really going deep.
I first used blender in 2017 for school and followed your 2016 tutorial (cus the teacher didn't know shit) fast forward to today, I want to use blender, but so much has changed in the program, look up a tutorial and its you again!! The cheat sheet helped me 7 years ago and I know it will help me today! I'm so happy knowing you're still doing tutorials!

After probably 5 years of Roblox Studio Animation Editor, I finally decided to get blender. This feels like it'll take some getting used to, and no one's probably going to see this, but this feels way better for an animation-focused thing. Thank you man.
👍👍
Been an animator for a long time, finally getting into 3d modeling and sculpting. Incredibly grateful for this series.
Also, as a note, it took me forever to find the preferences because they're under the EDIT dropdown menu on Mac instead of the usual system dropdown like every other program I've ever used.
I did a donut last time and I'm sure as hell gonna do it again. Just because your tutorials are greatly structured and actually fun to watch and follow
Me too.
Fuck it! I'll do it too.
As someone who rarely uses Blender, these tutorials are amazing to catch up with everything again, with this being the third doughnut tutorial series I'll be going through.
Thank you!
thank you so much for doing this tutorials andrew! it was my first tutorial about making a thing in blender...it all started here. about 2 years later im now capeable of doing the stuff i allways wanted - like sculpts, things for 3d printing, game assets, or simply just awesome renders in blender itself, i can not say how thankful i am. you are really the blender guru!
After several searches for basic tutorials I could only find videos that were few specific and sometimes weren't that explanatory, thanks to this video that saved my life I was finally able to learn something. I still need to practice and try some things out for myself but it has already been a big help. New sub and like ❤❤
I started with simple stuff from passable tutorials in blender 3, but even with a tenuous grasp of the basics, I think the rules are about to change.
To everyone taking this path, best of luck.
I learned pogramming, video editing, web design, simple game dev, but I always feared blender, let's fight this final boss :D
Thanks for your tutorials to keep us up to speed! Blender seems to be accelerating its advances and versions that I can hardly keep up with it! I still remember 2.9.3 and now we are on 4.0?! Amazing!
Thank you for taking the time to not only post these fantastic tutorials, but to keep updating them!
Wow, it's so impressive just reading all these comments of gratitude to Andrew from all around the globe from many many people who have started their professional 3d journey with one of Andrew's previous tutorials.
I'm not one of them, 3d is, well at least at the moment, just a kind of passion and hobby, but still, thank you for all your tutorials and your positive energy!🙂
I literally started my blender tutorial today. I was working with 3.0 however this new version will be so much better for me! Thank you again

never wake up ever again espically when you say stuff like that

ha ha ha
I was going to leave this comment on the last video, but since I do have a few humble suggestions for others following along I thought it might be better placed here at the beginning. First of all, I just have to say this was a great series and I really appreciate you doing all this work for free. You are an excellent teacher (maybe a little too efficient in your workflow at times, because I had to pause frequently to stay caught up with you). I learned a lot, and I am really looking forward to the paid beginner course. I didn't track my time on this, but the render time for me was about 7.5 hours on a single RTX 2070 and I would guess I spent at least that much time, if not more, doing all the modeling, setup, compositing, etc. and now... all I can think about is how badly I want to eat a real donut!
Now, speaking from my own experience and frustrations, if I could offer any advice to others taking on this project it would be the following:
1. If you're using a newer version of Blender (I used 4.1), don't take all of the hotkeys or menu options he says as gospel. Some of them have changed (such as K instead of I for inserting specific keyframes in your animations). Also, in 4.1, origin to geometry didn't work for me with the sprinkles, but origin to center of mass (volume) did. Now that I'm typing this out and I have had time to think it through though, it could also have been because I screwed up the extrusion/beveling process.
2. If something isn't happening when you press a key, pay attention to what mode you are in (Object, Edit, etc.), and where your mouse cursor is hovering, because these aspects DO affect what happens when you press certain keys (again, keyframes and also normalizing).
3. If you duplicate or extrude and then cancel the movement or resizing, it does NOT cancel the duplication or extrusion. He does mention this, but I forgot in the heat of the moment. You can end up with some funky geometry if you're not careful, but there are fixes for many of these situations so look at the forums and look through the comments because they saved me on multiple occasions (looking at you, stupid plate bevels).
4. The sidebar hotkey also got me, and I had a hard time figuring this out because my searches were fruitless: In Blender 4.1, don't hide the sidebar by dragging it with the mouse. If you do, pressing N will no longer pop it out again. To fix, just drag it back out, then press N to hide it when you're done and press N when you need it again. Maybe they'll fix this in a future version.
Thanks again Blender Guru, and happy Blending, everyone!
you made this very fun and engaging thank you, subscribed
I followed every step of this video, uninstalled and reinstalled blender, and I can't hit 'N' for properties for the camera.
looks like to make this work, your mouse has to be hovering in the 3D Viewport (ie the workspace/panel where Suzanne is!)
Yeah same problem
I did too but noticed that on the right panel, the Camera has to be higlighted. Then N and View tab for properties
LMAOOOO

Thanks for keeping this tutorial updated. Finally, I am able to take the time to finish it. I remember the first time I tried blender I was stumped on how to just move the cube. “I thought for love of God! I used Lightwave 3D and Bryce for years and I can't even figure out how to move this cube!” Of course I had not done any tutorials yet and it had been a few years since I had worked with any 3D software. Anyway keep up the great work.
