for those who are wondering how to select all the files at 19:55 make sure to press "A" only not ctrl + A
I even googled for that lol hope that anyone got the same problem can see your comment .
tysm
I did in a more unorthodox way but thanks.
Goat
Thanks!
At the time of watching this video, based on the view count on the first video and this video, only about 10% of people who started have finished the donut. For those of you that made it here with your donut in hand, congratulations and kudos for your persistence, commitment, and discipline. Best of luck with whatever you decide to do from here on out
Best of luck to you too!
running about 6 months behind but thank you and best of luck to you too!
I MADE ITTT!!! It's just sooo refreshing going through the comments, this community is amazing. I feel like I'm selling my self short.
I did not realise how big of an accomplishment I've made until I read the comments and suddenly I feel so much better about myself.
Love you guys! Thank you Blender Guru!
I am 12. I made this doughnut. It took me a weekend but in the end it was super fun and I enjoyed it! Took 25 hours to render.
Bro you kept your pc on for 25 hours 🥲
good job man! that's awesome to do at 11, keep going brother!
cool man, you might wanna check on the optimisation for rendering tho

FINALLY FINISHED! This took a lot of work and energy but I did my very first doughnut render! Thanks everyone for the comments it helped drive me to carry on and helped in times I was stuck. Most importantly thank you "Blender Guru" this journey was amazing thank you! :)
As much as the videos helped me, the comments did as well.
Love this community for giving valuable tips, giving solutions to problems.
Thanks everyone.
This tutorial series was just great.
DONUT :)
I know it's 8 months later.. but agreed! I would've given up a long time ago if it wasn't for the comments useful tips. Truly an amazing community he has!
congrats for me and everyone who made it to the last part! may your path ahead be filled with all the love and success you deserve
I was just about to finish the tutorial, render was ready, everything was set. I pressed f12 to see my render and Blender just froze. I then hoped, that there is a auto save. And saw there is actually a auto save function, but you have to set it up first. Didn't knew that. My progress of 8 hours is gone. I could literally cry right now. Well, at least that's a good test to see if I can manage to redo it by my own without the turorials.
@@tommycosta8268 Don't worry, it's actually a good thing that this happened.
I didn't have time to finish the tutorial in one go. So, i only watch 2 or 3videos per day, and i found that eventhough i was concentrated and everything i still forgot about the vast majority of things that i thought learned.
But fear not, it's normal.
i decided to remake the donnut on my own, whenever i was planning on watching the tutorial. I've been repeating it and trying to understand each and every video so i can do it on my own and see if really understood the task. Repeating the donut took hours in the first try, but after the 2nd and 3rd attempt i was easily flying by some steps and even predicting what is gonna happen in the next seconds of video, or at least figured out different ways to get to the same results.
don't look at the repetition as a punishement, instead concider it as a challenge to see if you understand, and that you're not just copying whatever is said, and of course if you're stuck you can cheat and see the tutorial.
at some point i was so busy, that whenever i had some lone time, i tried to repeat the donut in my head.
i hope this pushes you to not give up. think of why you started all of this
@@clockersmocker Thank you very much for this warming words!
You're absolutely right and by now I see this as an opportunity and I'm actually recreating the steps right now. It may be the best way to learn it by doin everything on your own. Of course, when it comes to the geometry nodes and everything it's way to complex to do it on my own for the first time. But I will try and see how far I get.
@@tommycosta8268 good luck my friend ! may you be the next blender guru, who knows ? Keep up, and don't surrender !
@@clockersmocker Thanks a lot! You too!
Made it through the end… finally! Feels so good to have actually finished this even though my laptop sounds like a jet engine taking off as it renders. Thank you!
Feel good dawg
Same 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
how much time did it take
yesterday I rendered animation directly from part 11 and then it took more than an hour to reach frame 180 and then that fan started moving so fast that its sound was too much. I then immediately closed the blender then it got slow.
is it normal? please tell me
should I do it on my laptop or not?
@@garvitkhandelwal5684 took 1 hour for me to render the 300 frames (NVIDIA geforce GTX 1660 and AMD RYZEN 5700X)
I just can't belive I made it till the end!! I'm just a regular girl who knows 0 about 3D animation or else. Honestly, I just like to play games but somehow I ended up here and I'm so happy I could finish this tutorial.
Congrats for everybody who made it to the end and thank you soooo much for this tutorials. I had a lot of fun (and stress) during this journey.
Thank you
congrats! :D
@@onlinesurfer8725 thank you! I'm here for the 3rd time now 😆
@@unyuu126how many times u did it ?
@@WastedDayzs I finished my 3rd last night and I'll be making another one now. I still miss a lot about geometry nodes and compositing. As I said previously, I'm just starting my journey and I have a lot to learn. Plus, everybody's asking me for a donut now 😅 and I say yes so I can practice more 🤗 I'm starting to get more secure wandering around blender on my own now and I think it must be something good, right!?
Congrats to you as well!, I'm glad I decided to start learning this program, I hope you have a good rest of your blender journey!
23:38 applause to every artist around the world for making their 1st Donut render. Clap for yourself
Love you
Well, we've made donut renders way earlier in the tutorial series. This is the first rendered donut animation though.
Thank you brother, It's nice seeing all of us completing it together. Congratz everyone!
@@WeirdBrainGoo 🤓
what a fun adventure :)
I wanted to do my graduation in Animation and back in 2008 there was no such degree in India. So I eventually got into Banking Career and after getting married and having a kid now from my savings i bought a laptop and I am rendering my donut. It feels so alive and happy.
Thank You so much for making this free and easy to understand tutorial. Will always be thankful to you.
Same I'm from India and I'll be doing my graduation in animation too 💜
Glad you're happy making this donut!!
17:03, Make sure to save before you Render anything. If you're using an older MacBook Pro and trying to render with Cycles, Blender will probably crash before it's done. DON'T FEAR! if you change the start frame on the animation timeline to whatever frame it ended on, it'll start rendering the animation from there instead of the beginning. It's only taken me 3 days to Render it, so there's hope for you yet!
thank you for that was wondering how to fix it
Yeah I learned pretty quick to save every render when blender decided to delete my whole donut right after I put on the sprinkles (well, mine are marshmallows)
i use a macbook pro from 2015 and just went with eevee bc cycles was too much. even eevee took like 8 hours
I didn't get it.... seem lik i deleted all
m1 and it's the same but i got through it
This channel has by far the best comment section. Just finished this series. 🎉 Hope for a lot more. Thanks Andrew and all commenters! Best wishes to everyone here ❤
Last time I tried to make it through these series (one of the 96% who did part one only), I was new to blender and it was too intimidating to spend few hours on a donut, but I'm super glad that this time I made it. Fantastic work mate.
One thing that took me a while to learn was how making something like this doesn't actually take as long once you know what everything does. I thought it actually took hours on end to create a simple donut though the time is cut down a lot when you take out the explanations he throughs in. I feel it helps show how much he cares about people actually knowing what they are doing rather than making a short tutorial for some quick cash that makes it hard to learn.
@@adamentainium8956 thank you, this is very encouraging 💛🌸 much appreciated 💫
I need help in the file the part. Like a quick step on step how to get the exr thingsc
Same here. Though I was attempting to do it on a laptop streamed to a TV with no perception of PC hardware, makes all the difference with a proper graphics card!
so true, after you understand it all u can be done with a donut much sooner.
College: You have to pay us thousands of dollars and take other classes that have to do nothing with the subject to learn 3D
Andrew: D O N U T
Donut, or Do not?
It is not just a Donut
As a collage and than trade school grad, I can tell you with a 100% confidence, college system is broken, useless and a total waste of time AND money. Why do people NEED to take carpentry class when they majoring for a doctor's degree or what chemistry class has anything to do with a law degree?
@@theoneandonly1802 Yup. I’m majoring in Computer Science but I was required to take a film class and a racial study class
The funny part is, this video series could absolutely be a huge meme of Andrew. But he is so good a teacher, it's not.
I finally did this. Thank you, Andrew! Others said it took a day or a few days, but it took me more than a week. I fell a lot, but I watched the same class several times and tried again and again and again. I doubt myself when I see people who are faster and better than me. But I did it anyway.
great job man, i almost gave up at the beginning because of a tiny mistake which ruined the donut so i'm surprised how you were able to keep on trying because i would've given up within like 3 tries
Bro fr. I've also been stuck on this for more than a week. I made multiple mistakes and had to go back many times lmao. rn my sprinkles are still botched honestly. Goodluck on your blender journey friend!
It's fine, I've been doing this for two weeks! The important is perseverance :)
what is the last status right now?
Bro, most people didn't even get through the second lesson. I'll bet you'll retain more than the people who rushed through and got it done in a day or two.
I can not believe this is the end of our donut series. Thank you so much!
Just to say doing this whole series again for free is unbelievably generous and hugely appreciated my dude!

Congrats to everyone who made it to the last part. I'm writing this as my animation is rendering, and it's gonna take a while (at least 6 hours), but beyond that I am ecstatic that I made it through. This could very well be the beginning of my Blender journey, and I couldn't've done it without this guy. Thanks Blender Guru, for your wisdom and funny remarks, you've made the whole experience that much more enjoyable.
I got into this tutorial during a really bad time in life, it feels good to achieve , thank you man you felt like a friend through it all.
Congratulations!! Doing this shows you have a lot of dedication and that can translate to other parts of your life. no matter what you’re going through you’re not alone 💫🍩
OMG, I can't describe the satisfaction of achievement I got after finishing this donut, my first time using Blender. Thank you so much Andrew! This is such a wonderful and intuitive tutorial, I had so much fun following the instructions, and after finishing all the steps I really felt the software's interface is much less intimidating to learn, I 'll dig into more tutorials hopefully I can make models on my own soon!
Same
Please can I get a response. So whenever I look up and download blender, ibis paint is what pops up instead. Idk why that is but it keeps happening. Am I missing something?
This tutorial was literally my best studying experience of all time, including absolutely every piece of information I have ever learned. I have no words and just can't thank you enough. My best wishes to every other person who succeeded to complete this course and the greatest possible respect to Andrew
That little congratulations at the beginning really put a smile on my face. What a wonderful series! (As usual)
I'm commenting this as I'm about to render the final animation. Blender crashed on me and I lost 4 hours of work. I learned a lot today, but the main thing I learned was to SAVE OFTEN.
Thank you for posting this series - it's been a huge help and I'll definitely be coming back to it
blender has a feature where it autosaves, if you go to files then recover you'll see previous autosaves
Save often and do a lot of backups
Yeees, please, hit that Ctrl+S as frequently as you breathe, it's really woty it😅
The same thing happened to me
It took me 3 days to make this donut, but for putting off 3-d for so long I’m beyond happy to be here. What a ride, much love to you donut master
Tok me 3 weekend hahhaha
are you serious bruhh thats insane it took me more than a month pfffff
@@man5urov Yeah me too. been really inconsistent .but now I'm little confident. can't wait to start my next tutorial
yeah 3 days for me too! day 1 was ok i got to part 10 but then blender crashed and i had to redo everything on day 2 but then I got to the end and then day 3 was mostly spend rendering.
took me 1 month
Well done to everyone who made it! Welcome to the start of your blender journey!
The feeling of satisfaction after how many years of saying “maybe i should try blender”, and finally rendering my first donut animation (itll take maybe 4 hours on my laptop) thank you so much for making these 3D lessons accessible! cheers!
I tried this donut twice in the past and always gave up, now I'm here trying to do blender everyday so i get to know it well.. I also managed to make it to the end. Thank you for everything dude, your lessons where straight to the point and really informative no UA-cam tops it off like you do for blender beginners. Keep doing what your doing man and I hope all people here will continue their blender journey and progress to be even better than before! Wishing yall love and luck man :)
Under output properties -> post processing, I had to re-enable Compositing. All my frames were being rendered with transparent backgrounds. So much fun following these tutorials, love it
ohhh thank you! that was driving me nuts :P
your the hero that i needed.
I wish I seen your comment before I waited an hour for my donut animation to render....on the bright side, this worked and was the issue! Hope others see this before they jump into rendering.

And thank you SO MUCH for this series
I can't really describe this, 2 days ago I had no experience at all with blender, have been using cinema 4d for the last 5-6 years, but more heavily in the previous 2.5 years in Uni. Now I have got a clear understanding of many things which I was (sort of) aware of but didn't want to put myself in the position to learn. I can't thank you enough, you're a treasure!
Ps: I am actually considering learning maths again from the fundamentals, which could be the reason that I never pushed myself with coding growing up. Everything happens for a reason, thank you!!! And well done to everyone that made it to the end!!
;The longest tutorial I have ever finished on youtube, glad to be part of Donut community! Imagine having a teacher like Andrew :')

My gratitude to you for all you have done, which I will never forget. I truly appreciate you and your time you spent helping us. Thank you very much for the course. I enjoyed every minute as well as your marvelous sense of humor. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm 15 years old and was introduced to blender through school. This is the first tutorial I ever followed, so thank you so much for putting this together!
After years of telling myself I will make a virtual donut, I have finally done it. Thank you so much for this series!
After doing the 2.8 Beginner Tutorial Series at the beginning of 2020 (we all know what was going on) I continued well into the summer of that year with learning Blender, but eventually my interest dropped, and I hadn't touched it again until this year (early '23.) I felt like I'd forgotten everything but with this tutorial series it was easy to pick it back up, and most things, with the exception of geometry nodes, felt like a review. Thank you Andrew for putting all of that work into this series!
I know you get criticized for how long the series is but I want to say I appreciate all the time you put into teaching not just how to do things, but why we should do them as well. The theory behind everything you explain goes a long way in helping us understand things in much finer detail than if it the whole thing was a simple process based tutorial. This whole series really feels like a course more than a tutorial, and completing it is much more satisfactory than completing a small tutorial where you maybe learn a couple of tools and how to use them in very specific scenarios.
Congratulations to everyone that made it to the end! Love seeing everyone's work on Reddit and it was a big part of why I decided to jump back into it! That, and Geometry Nodes, of course!
This community, and how much support I see from fellow Blender users is amazing! The whole way through the series, there are endless comments from people providing tips, ideas, and support to those that needed it, and it's lovely to see!
Thanks for nurturing that, Blender Guru! You're the best!
FML I spent 2 hours rendering a great final product but forgot to hide the sprinkles collection so they're in the shot!
In the meantime while every frame of the video is rendering I want to thank you, you did such an amazing job making the process of learning be funny and not overwhelming. Tbh I don't like tutorials that last more than 8 minutes but now I look at what I've been through and I can't even believe it. 16 videos that the majority last more than 20 minutes and I enjoyed each one of the them. Once again , thank you so much!
I never thought I would be invested in a tutorial, especially if the tutorial was more than 10 mins. Now look at me watching all the 16 parts with each part average 25 mins. You sir, really make the learning process interesting and easy. We all owe you whatever we know about blender!
It feels good to make it to the end! I'm glad I pushed back against my limiting beliefs and stuck through this series.
I'm looking forward to seeing all the possibilities I can make with Blender.
I feel proud of myself after a long time , I tried fixing those minors issue which he addressed in this video way before which makes me happy that I was able fix those issues on my own which boosted my confidence in doing this task and also it helped me understand the software more , and congrats to all artist who reached the finale 🎉🎉
I've found a new hobby and you're entirely responsible for that. Thank you!

I'm rendering right now and just gotta thank you for the tutorial series, i mean even if it was "another donut" tutorial like most ppl say , i like how you explain the new feautures and every tutorial is way different.
I didn’t expect it to be that complicated in the middle parts of tutorial but here I am - I made it till the end and just love the result! For those who is still struggling- I believe you can, just a little bit more effort, don’t give up
It took me the wholes summer to complete due to time, work and personal life constraints but I'm glad I followed thru. Thank you blender guru for the tutorial and to the wonderful community in the comments section for the help. Looking forward to continue my journey
This series was amazing, this was my first time sticking to a tutorial like this one, but I think it was the guidance what made it easy to follow, the context, the pace and the quality delivered. Congrats to everybody, this was such a blast!
OMG I'VE FINISHEEED! I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE MY FINAL RENDER
So grateful for Andrew and the BlenderGuru community. I had a ton of fun with this tutorial, and really am excited to continue now that it's finished. Thank you for making this!
I really suck at finishing tutorials. But I did this one! I am so happy I did. Blender is such a fun (albeit sometimes frustrating) creative outlet. Props to andrew for the excellent tutorial. And props to everyone else who made it here! You're awesome. :)
I’m absolutely shocked that there are multiple in depth walkthroughs of this for different versions of blender that’s come out. I think i speak for everyone here when I say THANK YOU!! Thanks so much for continuing to create these for those who want to start 3D art years later, and thank you for making this knowledge available to anyone who wants to give it a try. This was my first time using blender and it blows my mind how much ive learned from this series and how much it will help me continue my skill. Thank you!!! :)
I went from zero experience with Blender to having a spinning donut that I could show off to friends. Thanks so much for this awesome tutorial. Can't wait for the next one, lol!
Hey everyone who has a problem with a transparent or black background in your renders: check the box "Compositing" in Render Properties -> Post Processing
Thank you for this! I'm using 3.6.0 and AI found it in the Output properties > Post Processing

thanks King
i figured it out, under viewpoint shading; disabled was selected
Sup guys, quick update, blender 4.0, this is now on the Output settings --> Post Processing --> Compositing ! Hope it helps !
Super happy with my donut! Wow this was quite a journey but I had not anticipated that it would "feel easy" since Andrews instructions and way of instructing were so easily followed!
Thanks! :D
Thank you! My son and I both followed along the entire series over the span of two weeks and it was a great thing to learn and bond at the same time! We'll continue this Blender journey together. Thanks again for all your hard work and time putting this tutorial together.
Hey this is heartwarming! Hope you two are doing great and advancing in 3D!

One good thing about this whole nft thing is it's showing me who I should watch and who I shouldn't.
?
I used your videos to help me learn 3D back before you had even made the original donut tutorial. This is what, the 3rd version now? It always amazes me how you managed to cram so much of Blender's capabilities into a single project and still be able to tailor it to those new to the program.
And for those who find this tutorial difficult, or who think that yours looks terrible, that is ok. It isn't SUPPOSED to be easy, you are just learning. The next one will be better though won't it? And keep in mind, once you finish this tutorial, you will know more about 3D modeling than I did after a year of working on it. Now I'm starting my own business.
Good luck, keep modeling.
Thank you Andrew! After years of not touching 3D modelling after uni, you made it so much easier to take that stepping stone back into it. I'm looking forward to relearning even more going forward
This tutorial series was like a boon for me to explore my artistic side. Thank you so much Blender Guru for making the process so smooth. Much gratitude and love. Congrats to everyone who made it to the end!
I did it. Omg I made it through and completed all the parts. Last time I did not go past doing the icing so this is honestly a huge stepping stone in my confidence of using blender and being more creatively adventurous
i started off blender a couple of months ago with your old series
this one has been a good revision\
thanks
Tip, if you really want to avoid intersections, go back to the weight paint mode and paint the instances of intersecting sprinkles to a lower weight value, (meaning from red, it will be green to blue) and watch the overlapping sprinkle disappear.
I completed the course and I am really happy with my result. Took me a week to learn everything, not just copy pasting but trying to understand every step in depth. I love your style of teaching. Thank You Blender Guru.
It takes about 2.5 mins for me to render 105 samples. If I rendered above 16,000 samples, it would take roughly 1500 hours to render out all the frames.
Cpu compting is painful.
I feel ur pain 🙂
cpu is pain
Finished the tutorial and waiting on my images to Render. I appreciate how accessible you've made all this info, with giving little bits to a great deal of the software as a whole rather than just focusing on one area of Blender; I can see how it will help make other tutorials much easier as we can all think "oh that's like I did in the donut tutorial". For me, it was pretty easy to follow along with being familiar with most of the terminology and node setups from having an art/video editing background already, but the way you explained the information absolutely will make it easier for people who don't. Was great fun, I took notes along the way while also doing the donut, so I'll be able to refer to your info regardless if I'm online or not. Cheers, thank you, and keep up the great work!
Thanks for walking me and everyone else through this... again. I'm always amazed by how generous people are with their time. You're a real mvp
You REALLY got me hooked for the entire series. I've always wanted to dive into the modeling and animation world and never knew that a donut with cute toppings would be my way in! Thank you!
I started in the middle of January 2022, finished in the middle of March haha. I've tried to do this course a few times before but this year I finally got to the end!
I started end of Feb and just finishing up today! I work full time and got 2 kids so i dont have much time but i tried to stay motivated to keep going! im happy you finished... congrats!!!
I started... 4 days ago and just need everything to render and then I'm done 😅
@@MockiN6j4y congratulations! But it’s no race brotha! We all have different situations going on in our lives so some may no have as much time to focus on their craft! As long as you keep pushing and putting whatever little time you do have towards your goals that’s all that really matters when it comes to learning something new! Wish you the best 🤙🏽👏🏽
Thank you for waking us beginners through our first few weeks of learning blender. I wish you all the best and, and for myself, I hope to become a successful full-time 3D artist soon. Cheers for making everything feel a lot more palpable.
It only took me the better part of a decade to finally get around to this. Spent so much time dragging my feet or using all my energy working jobs I hated. I know this is a small step on what is a long journey of learning but I'm glad to finally make that step. Congrats to everyone that finished this, self motivation is a bitch and learning is hard. And best of luck on our future projects!
I downloaded Blender probably a year or so ago and felt pretty intimidated when I looked at it for the first time. Now I made it through this series and I am so, so proud of all of us who made it this far. Congrats!! In the hopes that this will help others with the rendering process: My iMac kept crashing during the render despite blender being the only program that was open. So I turned off the energy saving settings to have the screen stay on and restarted the computer. After that it worked fine! Took between ~40-20sec per render for cycles with Noise Threshold at 0.06, Max Samples at 4096, Denoise on. Thank you, Andrew @blenderguru for all you put into this comprehensive series! You are a fantastic teacher!!
*Sigh of relief* I made it. I really actually made it this time. I tried this course before (when 2.93 was the latest release) and never finished, never even got to the sprinkles because I kept having problems with the icing intersecting the donut. And now I'm watching my donut spin. The amount of techniques and know-how that I can re-purpose for other projects from this 1 tutorial is staggering. Congrats to everyone who makes it here. It's a great feeling to start something and to see it through all the way to the end. On to the next project. Cheers.
Thank you SO MUCH for these videos. I started messing with blender with your 2.8 tutorial but never managed to finish it. This time I did, and Im so glad! Now the hardest part: keep moving ahead, trying to learn new stuff and get better. Hopefully I can make a living out of 3d modeling/sculpting and finally leave programming well behind me.
Just finished using blender 3D modeling for the first time! This tutorial makes it so much easier and fun thank you!
This was awesome! Finished my donut video after 1 full day of this series, and it look way better than what i thought i could do with zero blender experience beforehand.
This was so fun and I already feel hooked on 3D! This is something I've wanted to try for so long and to create a nice looking project from start to finish is such an amazing feeling of accomplishment. Thank you for such an incredible tutorial!!
2 days ago I thought of turning this story I was interested in writing into an animation. I had no clue on what animation software was, how to make X thing move or anything.
A quick google search found that Blender was good so I looked up guides immediately. With your guide, in just a total of 8 hours, I’ve made the most realistic blueberry donut I thought I’d ever make, and now rendering it. Got a 3070 with settings a bit high so I’m sitting on a 3 hour wait tonight.
An amazing guide, and a great reassurance that this thing I want to do is actually possible and not going to take me decades but rather maybe just a year or two.
Can I see it?

I’ll put it up on the reddit. My name is the same with 2 “oo”s at the end however
@@MysteryTacoo i cant seem to find it, could you send a link perhaps?
okay i though me sitting on an hour wait was bad lol
@@Guape me with almost 7 hours overnight *chuckles in danger*
I saw a video about doing animations months ago, and I found them fascinating, therefore I searched very excitedly for some tutorials learning Blender. Unfortunately, I got bored after not finding any Blender tutorials for free... I was about to give up when I saw your first video about making a donut. I didn't think anything of it, so I opened it and from the first moment, I realized I had found my real teacher. Even though you know so much, you were able to tell all those things in a beginner language, and that's why I didn't get bored or confused, it was all clear and interesting! I feel excited to learn new skills, and I'm so content to meet you! I love the energy your videos and yourself have and I know this wasn't an accident, the universe wanted me to see the honest Donut Guru!🥰🍩
Just finished this video to complete the 16 part doughnut tutorial series! I can honestly say it was worth every second and am extremely grateful for the time you put into this. I feel like I just graduated college, except this matters to me. Thank you!
waiting for my donut to render currently and I just wanted to say thank u for making this tutorial. It helped me learn a lot about getting started with blender and I am excited to take my knowledge I learned in this tutorial and apply it to my own work in the future.
Super happy to finally have a full series that even covers noise and animation rendering.
I gotta say though... NFTs? Come on, dude. Be above that.
Did this entire series in one day, It was a great journey!
Alot of things that were taught, I didn't need to know for what I'm going to use blender for, however it was still great to know just how much you can do with blender.
I picked things up very quickly throughout the way, which shows how great this guy is as a teacher.
Thank you!
I did it! I made it till the end!
Thank you so much Andrew for making this tutorial series. Not only do you explain what to do, but also the why behind it. Which makes it way better to understand, and I learned tons!
Also thank you to the people in the comments section sharing their experiences and tips and tricks. Without you I would have been stuck!
These tutorials have helped me out tremendously with learning Blender and I don't think I could have started it without them. I am still a beginner I've only finished this series, the first donut series, and my own personal brownie project which didn't turn out too bad though it could have had a lot more detail that I learned from this series that I didn't put in. I want to be able to work to my goal of at least making short mini animations for a story I have created over the past 4 years. Although I'm not sure if I'd ever be able to model characters, I'd at least want to be able to model an item from it and add in something going on behind the camera through sound effects. Your series has been legendary and inspired me to continue trying to learn more about this program. Thank you for everything and I hope to see another tutorial coming out in the new year.
I'm just wondering, how do i set all the ''hotkeys''?! Can't find anything!!
It has been a privilege to be able to learn all this information on using Blender from you. It has been a wonderful experience creating a digital product. The fact I am able to download a free software and get these lessons from a subject matter expert on UA-cam is really remarkable.
Dude you are a phenomenal human being! Thank you so much for these incredible tutorials!
It cannot be understated how comprehensive these tutorials are, and yet how easy they are to follow along with! The end result is actually far more impressive than I imagined going into these tutorials.
I also want to say thank you for how much you have taught me, and the confidence you have given me to be able to move forward and start creating my own projects, knowing I will be able to take them not just from modelling but all the way through lighting and rendering and achieving a result with a professional, high quality look!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you! I really enjoyed working through these tutorials.
I'm happy to be part of the 4% that made it to the end! Thank you! I'm looking forward to the next step and countless tutorial gaunlets to come!
Thank you so much for this video series. I'm 17 with a passion for art, music, writing, and animation. I want to be able to learn this in my free time and make things people can enjoy in the future. I didn't do many of the complicated things, such as the sprinkles in the background, but I really appreciate the videos being simple and easy to understand
I randomly saw the first video before I even thought about 3D modelling etc. Hit download on Blender, three days later I'm here and have just finished. It amazes me what people do for others in terms of knowledge sharing on UA-cam. We're quick to damn the internet and social media etc. and I'm sure it could be refined/reinvented to become a more positive space but learning like this is where it should start. Amazing - thanks!! =D
I decided to start my journey using a gaming engine, understood the coding aspect of things and then got to the assets portion and was like... uuhhh... yea... I didn't really want to purchase a lot of other stuff and wanted to create my own content, however, I never went down the artistic side of any programs. I found out about Blender because, well, it's free and then I had to figure out where to start. Like you said in the first video, I was one of those people who was a little blown away by how much there was in the application. This video series was an eye opener and I am definitely grateful for it! It's not perfect, but I definitely feel I followed along nicely. I feel a lot more confident in being able to create my own content using Blender and by virtue of comments and educational tidbits I now understand what to use for future projects of mine. I'm looking forward to looking into more tutorials done by the awesome Blender Guru. Thank you very much!
Man! Such a well detailed tutorial.
Proud to have made it this far, all be it with a bunch of mistakes, but hey.
Thank a mill Guru!
Thank you!!!! It was an amazing journey! Congrats to us all!!!
A much underappreciated thing throughout this whole tutorial series has been this mans sense of humour. I found myself letting out little chuckles throughout the hours we spent together. Made this a much better experience. Thanks for making me laugh as well
Thank you for your Donut Tutorial. I'm rendering my Donut right now. I'm so happy that I made it that far. At first I was intimidated by the sheer amount of options Blender has. But you really helped me to understand Blender better and I learned a lot. This was the first step and I'm excited to create more 3D art.
Andrew: You've made it to the end!
Me, who clicked on the final video to see the end-product first: thank you! but where am I?
Thank you so much. You're an inspiration, an amazing teacher and a comforting personality. Love the work. Best wishes and I hope all is sunny on your side of the world 🌎
Be good to yourself.
You've been good to me.
Thank you
