You missed a new feature of 3.0: pressing ALT + q to select an object without switching to object mode
Oh man you're right! I even researched it before recording, but concluded it mustn't have made it to 3.0. Glad to see I was wrong.
Oh wow, it even switches to any object you just hover over. Nice!
Joy joy happy happy! This is something I would have wished for, had I thought of it, hundreds of times.
OH MY GOD I LOVE IT
Awesome, thanks man!
I've gotten this far without crying... haha. I will admit, I had to take breaks in between because I'd mess up. But I am determined to push forward and keep learning. :)
Hi, did you finish it now?
I'm about to start as soon as I get home from work. 😁
donut give up
@@mkit18 😂😂😂😂
Same. Around part 4 I had issues modeling and verticies kept sticking out in awkward positions. I didn't know what I was doing wrong. I took a break, tried to forget everything I originally new so I could start fresh, and it seemed to work! I'm now working my way towards part 6 when I was originally stuck on part 4!
I've literally downloaded Blender yesterday and I'm already 5 parts into this. These videos made what I thought looked complicated , into something fun and easy to understand. I think I found my new hobby and honestly doing this for a career does seem really fun. Gonna comment again when I finish the last part just so you know that the videos truly helped me
Same, I downloaded it a month ago and forgot about it, got back into it last week and I'm already on part 5.
Honestly just making the donut is super fun because 3d modeling is so complex. Its cool just to be playing with a little slice of it in an effective way.
i downloaded it the other day and im on part 5 too and im just about to turn 12༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
@@thearthsntflatDALWTHT keep at it man, very early age to start developing such an advanced skill
@@thearthsntflatDALWTHT wow ur quick, it's taken me a week to get to part 5 but that's cuz my icing hates me and it took me like twenty years to get it to not glitch every time I adjusted it

Please pin this comment bro
Im actually really impressed. this tutorial is very well done.
You Are the Best!
bless you
Remember to save your doughnut as a different file after each video . That way you can go back to what you missed or faulted in your previous edits.
A very good advice... Thanks man
Love it!
i just do everything again. helps me remember all the steps
thank you man, i was frustrated
very good idea man, thank you
If the 'Inflate' tool isn't working for you.
1) Make sure you've applied all the modifiers on both parts before entering sculpting tool.
2) Make sure you've selected the 'Icing' layer while entering the sculpting mode (and not the donut).
GLHF.
appreciate the help
That’s helps a lot !! 👍🏻
My hero, I was losing my mind as to why it was not working. It was the modifiers not being applied.
Thanks my guy
I’ve always loved watching movies like Toy Story and even Pixar’s shorts as a kid and not just enjoying the stories but being blown away at the animation. It’s insane to think this technology is free to the public and that I’m actually learning it now. Thank you for this series, I feel like little me would be mind blown that I could make this alone with a laptop.
How old are you?
Using Blender for about a year now. Still seeing all the parts because it gives me nostalgia
I hate Blender. I follow this guy all the time but for no reason It doesn't work
@@lapom5669 i mean it works for me. Maybe you have an old version of blender, and it is certainly not for everyone. It's definitely not an easy software to learn.
A faster way to apply all modifiers is to press Alt + C and click Convert to: Mesh. It is already a mesh but if you convert something it will always apply all modifiers. So if you just convert from mesh to mesh it will apply all the modifiers for you. It can be helpful when you have a bunch of modifiers
That's like a speedrun hack. Never intended for that purpose, but it works 😅
Yeah, but in my default settings this hotkey is removed, so you will need to bring it back or to go Object > Convert > Mesh
@@techmuffin9104 Or use the old 2.7 keymap as i do :) That is also an option. But if you're already used to the new hotkeys then its best to to as you described :)
Alt+C seems to be doing nothing for me in both Edit Mode and Object mode. What additional conditions are there?
@@thetaomegatheta Same :/
A year ago, I decided to give Blender a try with no art/3D experience and used this tutorial. Unfortunately, this was the point where I gave up; I think because of the icing clipping. However, 8 weeks ago I decided to give it another try but, ironically, using a much more advanced tutorial (modeling a character, which is what I _actually_ want to do in Blender). Then I came back to this tutorial and everything just "clicked"!
Since then, I've successfully rendered 2 donuts, a chair, and even the ANVIL using your tutorials. I've also animated a flaming sword with character using another tutorial. And just last week, I rendered a bedside table with textures & lighting, using _only reference photos_ and what I've learned (although I did have to Google troubleshoot lol)! Progress!
So if anyone reading this has given up, it's OK to "take a break" and come back--even for a year or longer. Just TRY to come back. And, if you're like me and need to feel "passionate" about what you're learning, consider seeking out a Blender tutorial that teaches you what you're passionate about as a "starting point", no matter its skill level. Even an advanced tutorial has stuff to teach you.
I’ve given up the donut tutorial so many times over the years - this time, I was determined. Instead of the donut, I started with the same CG Fast Track tutorial, and slowly, I am working on a personal 3D project, watching a bunch of guides and am working on, for once, finishing the donut tutorial.
I was, as you said, inspired to learn because I started with the fire sword 😊
Let’s hope in a few months or years of time, I hope we can both become Blender “masters”
ive restarted 5 times but still havent lost my determination to go on thank you for your amazing tutorials bro
Same bro same
Same this is my 3rd time
sameee it's gotta be my 4th or 5th time also, how's it going now?
If your Inflate mod actually deflate on one of your mesh, you need to flip your normals.
Go to edit mod, press A to select all, then press ALT+N and click "flip"
Thank you! Just the comment I was looking for
thanks!
Thank you!
oh thank god for this guy
thanks you just saved me!
If the inflate tool just doesnt seem to be doing anything its most likely because you didn't apply all the modifiers before opening the sculpting window.
thanks a lot
can i fix that?
@@jackgamin694 yes by applying all modifiers
Or you have your strenght set to 0.000 - took me a while to figure it our :D
thank you so much holy shit
This is the first Blender tutorial I've followed and the only tutorial I have followed for 3D modelling. I'm already obsessed with sculpting! It's been a rough journey for me, this is my third time attempting the doughnut and my first time making it this far. But I had a lot of fun during this tutorial and am excited to keep learning. :)
I've just realised how much i improved on blender after watching your tutorials these years, if I use blender it's all thanks to you
I made the previous donut almost 1 year ago and remade it 3 times in total. It was super useful because this tutorial is a perfect overview of the basic and main functionalities in blender. Even If I didn't know exactly what i was doing the main features (modelling, sculpting, shading, paint mode etc) stuck in my head and that knowledge was super useful.
I have tried to remake the doughnut two times(This is my third time) because I got something wrong while doing the other two doughnuts LOL
@@adityabhat8113 I almost had a ragequit because my icing would not stick to the donut! then i started over and somehow it worked and the process was way easier the second time! no shame in following it step by step :) I also have a project in mind once i finish my donut hehe
Globules is in fact a word and it works perfectly in the context you used to describe them with
I been getting excited for each new segment because I'm not sure if the newer version of blender has the same functionality as your last donut ones from years ago. So I keep it safe and just follow along for this one.
You could always just keep a copy of your .blend file that is up to date with the tutorial and use another copy to play around yourself.
The main thing you'll have to watch out for is that the old tutorials will tell you about particle systems, but I expect Andrew might want to drop that part and use geometry nodes for the sprinkles instead, so that part will be most out of date.
Me too
Honestly glad you made these tutorials I meant to watch them months ago but this made me really like blender it's not as daunting as you might feel looking at the program at first thank you for giving me the tools to finally learn something I have been interested in for a while now.
I've been using Blender for years now but for some reason, I'm still watching this... I guess you're just entertaining lol.
EDIT: Woah lots of likes!
Same here hahah
Same xD
At the end of the day, we all gotta come home to papa. Never forget the man who raised you, for without him we would be nothing.
Yep, same here.
Lol he's very entertaining, I love the random ramblings 😂 That's all I'm here for
Yeees, I was waiting for it :D
I followed your previous tutorial last year, and kind of stopped making 3D after that, but 3 days ago I restarded Blender and needed some help ahah, and what a coincidence you are making that tuto again 😄 it's always a pleasure to learn with u !
congrats for the 2m btw 🎉
I'm really enjoying this. Been busy with school work so couldn't do part 6 but now I'm ready to resume
Ive been using blender for the past 2 years and im starting to realise that i haven't improved at all, my first and most recent render are almost identicle in quality and thats just been depressing, yesterday i woke up and said fuck it, i saw your 3.0 tutorial and decided that i will start blender from the ground up, relearning the basics and then the advanced stuff, when i started 2years ago i didnt watch the tutorial cause i was too lazy, but now i told myself that its either make this godamn donut and get back into blender 3d graphics, or quit the entire thing, glad i did the right choice and the fact that i can watch this live means that im learning slowly instead of zooming past the series in a single day which is just amazing for me :D
Hahah "goddamn donut", I totally feel the same! I want to start doing fun and cool stuff right away but know that I need all the basic knowledge first so I have no choice but to do this stupid pastry if i'm ever gonna be any good. I hope you came out of your stagnation and started improving again!
I am slowly doing this series and having fun with it! Thank you Andrew
I have no idea how I got this far but my donut is descent, not entirely close to yours but progress is progress, and I ain't givin' up to improve. Also I love your tutorials man, helps me out a lot, thank you
I've gone this far in one day and you make blender learning so simple, i've tried other tutorials before but none ever worked for me, also the jokes you make while you demonstrate the techniques crack me up :"D Thank you so much! i learned a lot so far from you!
hey how's it going blender wise?
You can also use the square bracket keys to adjust brush size [ and ]
Tab is not used to switch between object and edit mode but the edit mode and the most recent you have used
i never thought id be into 3d modeling, ive always been a pen and paper, fire alpaca user, but this is the most fun ive had in one week and i dont regret a thing.
Awesome, right after I finished the last one!
I was in the zone in the sculpting part and hearing you talk, and when you said the 'hyper inflation' that got me to laugh really hard for some reason :') Thanks for the vids. It's really been helping out
I finished the last video yesterday and have been refreshing Blender Guru’s channel since just waiting for this video to drop.
Love the personality in the videos, makes it so much more interesting and enjoyable
I just started blender like a year ago but left it for 3 months, started again and now I’m watching these it helped me a lot. Im not professional yet, I just know how to extrude, scale with hot keys, sculpting, and more.
This is my 3rd day learning blender too
To switch the object you're sculpting while in Sculpt Mode: In the Scene Collection, you'll notice icons of dots and and chisel on the left side of the objects. Press on the dots to move the chisel to whatever object you want to sculpt.
Life saver
TYSMMM!!
i love you. blessings and abundance on to you and your whole bloodline!
Brilliant. Thanks. that helped heaps.
You know for a while he was like all serious about the tutorials in the first few episodes, but now he's just kind of chilling. We vibing man, we vibing
It's pretty fun watching this right after finishing my 2019 tutorial donut. I pretty much know how everything works now!
Yesterday I made part 1 to 5 of these tutorials and last night I dreamt that I was finishing it, grabbing the donut from the screen and took a few bites (it was huuuuge)
As you talked about digital tablets, I'd advice for those who aren't sure of which brand to choose from : I moved, really scared at first, from 20+ years of different Wacom tablets to an XP-Pen tablet. It's also a japanese brand and I'm amazed by the insane quality of their products given how cheaper they are. Some of their styluses need to be USB charged, I was worried about that. But truth is I'm able to use their pens daily, without charging them for months, so much that I nearly forget that they need to be charged. Very, very long lasting batteries in there, Great quality screens, responsivity, precision, etc. Great products ;)
Anyway thanks for your tuts. Moving from years and years of Max / Maya + Zbrush to : Blender. And I f***cking love it so far ;)
DOESN'T FEELS LIKE LEARNING!
LITERALLY THE BEST TUTORIAL
THANK YOU BROTHER
Just wanna say thank you for these tutorials :) you do a great job explaining things and I appreciate it!
You no longer need to switch out of Sculpt mode to switch to a different object. While in Sculpt, press the little indicator next to the other objects in the Outliner to switch to that object without exiting Sculpt mode.
Thank you so much! I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong and thought I might have just broken my donut, lol. You're a lifesaver
Holy shit this comment literally saved me hours of dicking around. I kept selecting the doughnut before switching to sculpt mode and my doughnut would inflate whenever I tried to inflate the icing. Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for the series so far, I've been using blender on and off for a few years and the refresher on Blender 3.0 has been very useful. I'm trying to sign up for the news letter but the link appears to be broken.
So far this is a great help! I've been staying away from Blender for a long time, but I'm starting to feel like I could use it for real now. Also..nuts are a great snack, don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
Since last time when I did the donut that way it gave me too many polygons for my tastes, this time, instead of applying the modificators and sculpting, I used vertex maps on the solidify modificator. A few tweaks here and there, and I got a low-poly icing with diverse thickness and appropriate drips. :)
Wow I’m early and I don’t even have a PC to use Blender. Cheers!
It's like the 20th time Im doing this. Done them from start to finish 5 times trying all different methods and really like the "ELASTIC DEFORM" for pulling those gloopie bits down that extra little bit and making them look like they've been stretched under the weight of the icing dripping! Great series this, thanks so very much Blender guru. Im really looking forward to being able to re design my business logo and animatie my own video's now!
@𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱 by Blender Guru if there is one small part that frustrates me, it's the platform crashing when I'm trying to style the icing bits with the selection "controll L" and drag the rounded edges. I can't continue because of that. Any suggestions? My CPU only at 53% but I do have a gtx 960, old card. Can't afford the rtx series yet!
hey are you doing well in blender now?
@@brandish752 Hi brandish, I'm getting better, repetitive behavior really gets it in my head and the actual understanding too. Not just repeating mindlessly. I Im starting to replicate work now and doing a few nasty cool Udemy courses. Have a Ryzen 9 and 4070ti (12gig) now too :) You?
hey there it's amazing to hear you're getting better at 3d designs and doing your own thing, it give me the motivation to continue with the tutorial as I recently discovered a deep passion for this type of stuff. Right now I have a Intel Core(TM) i3 8gb ram looking to upgrade soon to a really cool pc for more efficient work
) @brandish752 Keep going. It feels really gr8 to get these working and I can see the imagination sparking. You really can create anything , How are you going apart from the hardware?
i installed blender last night, been following this series. i got stuck on the icing for a while & admittedly had to completely restart several times throughout the day, but here i am! :D
Alt+Q while hovering an object or the icon on the left of the current active object (in the Outliner) enables the user to change the active sculpted object without having to change mode each time.
Just a heads up so anyone seeing this video doesn't make the same mistake as I did. Before you start sculpting be absolutely certain that you're satisfied with your model, otherwise later on if you edit the donut's shape you will mess up the snapping. I learned this the hard way.
Wow you probably saved me lol… thanks for the warning
Ha... literally watched the Miss America response video today. Still a classic @6:12
You are an awesome teacher, thank you! For a non techy person, I foudn ti easy enough to follow your instructions. Can;t wait to try it for myself.
Dude is hilarious which makes the learning process waaaaaay easier! What a Boss!
11:14 🤣 had me crackin up
When I use the inflate tool it's very polygonal and not smooth at all. Any ideas how to fix this?
I'm happy to note that as of here in this tutorial, I've made every single beginner mistake that you have pointed out. At least I'm learning not to do that now rather than later 😅
I got blender yesterday and these videos are really helpful and fun!
I'm an artist learning the software, thanks to your videos, I am. As an artist....when materials drip and droop they do so from pulling material away from directly above the drip. For the point of realism, above an inflate(ponding) there will be deflate(thinning). In most cases, the material will become more translucent in that area. A glazed honey donut is likely one of the best representations or simply study rain on glass. Glazing doesn't evenly distribute. I'm jumping way ahead of myself in learning but shouldn't the glazing be done in a x% transparency/density? Where it becomes thinner, it will actually become darker not because of shadow but because you see more of the darker donut underneath the icing.
the half part of the video is just a therapy about snacks and donut, and i freakin love it
Thanks for the tutorial! I'm just starting with blender and I had to start over 3 times because I keep messing up my donut, but I'm halfway through my 4th attempt now and it's looking good. Thanks!
I got so hyped and greedy with Blender and your tutorial that I even forgot to like the previous videos, Thank you for the effort!
Is there a reason when I use the inflate tool that it acts as if it grabbing the frosting away from the donut instead of actually inflating it? Is there something that went wrong with my layer?
I am having the same issuse too.
I had the shrinkwrap modifier in my icing that seemed to be causing the issue you desricbed. I am back on the icing again..

you're like the only guy that's good to listen to that's doing blender tutorials, even when you're just rambling about
I love hearing your commentary as I'm watching/learning from this tutorial lol. You're great!
Hey guys,
my Donut downt appear to be smoothed, even with alot of subdiv levels.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for the tutorials, I’ve been using blender for 7 years now, and just wanted to refresh. How come you apply subsurface modifiers instead of just subdividing in edit mode? Is there an important difference?
an interesting question
Well probably because it's easier to remove it if you realise you don't need the modifier anymore
I remember a long time ago you recommended a drawing tablet. I finally got one and it makes the sculpting part of Blender sooooooooo much easier. I picked up the Wacom Intuos (non pro) and it works great :)
RETURN OF THE KING
any clue on why my inflate brush acts weird? instead of instantly inflating it first deflates slightly then the "mesh" that is inflated is of different colouring also (not that it maters since its not in render mode but to mention it) its different than in the tutorial anyhow... and I'm sure I did everything in order
Same thing is happening to me also
Did you apply all the modifiers on the icing before entering sculpt mode? That usually gives you issues.
@@sergiukc_art thank you so much.. spent so long looking for this
I have a problem, when i go to the sculpting menu the icing just disappears in the edit mode, i can still see in the object mode but otherwise it's not there
same problem too :(
Same
Same, please comment if you found a solution.
I loved this part of the tutorial.
globule: --- glob·ule | \ ˈglä-(ˌ)byül \
Definition of globule
: a tiny globe or ball especially of a liquid
globules of mercury
1:23 --- It is a word.
This tutorial looks familiar 🤔
sir, following your tutorial is so much fun 😂 i love it when you get off track and talked about snacking and when you commented about the "hyper inflation". thankyou for making this tutorial! i really enjoyed it and learned a lot from it. cheers!
Globules def a word homie: a small dark cloud of gas and dust seen against a brighter background such as a luminous nebula. Thanks for the tutorials. Life changing!
First
I like that im able to actively follow while the video is still playing and i dont have to pause every 10 seconds like most tutorials.
Congratulations on the 2 Mill
You Are Legend
Your name will be written in the pages of history and wont be forgotten
this man lives in america and uses the metric system mad respect for you man
things that were important to me
1. G for sculpting grab
2. F for dragging out & shift F for strength value
3. N for active tool
4. Don't smooth too much
5. Using a stylus pen could be beneficial
Locked in! Loving out so far
Sculpting tool is my new favorite I think, it feels more natural to pull and push the mesh of the object.
Love the videos, this is my second time trying as my PC hopefully is better at rendering with CyclesX :) Just one tip for your videos to get more people to the end: Add 'save' reminders to your video, as i keep forgetting to save my progress. I think this will get a lot of people further in the series!
thanks for the tutorial videos Andrew. highly appreciate it
I love so much his laugh man❤️😂So adorable.
thank yu so much on helping me out with blender these are really gerat tutorioals too
I love these tutorials, I do them over weekends just to get away from work and learn new things, like 'brendering' 13:54 it is thing now, who knew?
i love starting the next chapter of the tutorial with a cup of coffee... such a satisfying feeling while making a donut lol
Great Tutorial series !
This is awesome! I'm this far, and I just needed tutorial videos for the tools to use for blender, since my sculpts weren't coming out right (even though I've been drawing for years and know proportions.) I'm glad I've got a cintiq for this! Now that I know what tools to use, I can make cool 3d characters (from reference since that helped a lot in this tutorial as well.)
congratulations on 2 mil Andrew!
I love how he also talks about his life experiences in these videos
That little ring in the middle is the donut rising as it fries like how bread bakes in the oven and that pushes that middle part of the donut out of the oil on both sides
I feel so much better after watching this.
Donuts are ferakin tasty man, lemme ennoi my donut. Also phantastic tutorial, love it, did the older one twice bc i had some break from 3D after picking it up in the first lockdown. You gave me a good new Hobby, thank you keep up the dope work
Thank you sir for helping me in making such a good project
This is my third time making a donut and this time it finally looking like Andrew's tier quality, well almost
Nice to see the donut is back!!!
I actually laughed out loud at the inflation joke 😆. Fun series so far! Excited for the rendering video.
Awesome tutorial
