    10:21 If your donut disappears when you add Subdivision Surface. Click "Edit > Preferences" on the menu bar to open the Preferences Window. Then Switch to the "Viewport" Tab, click "Subdivision" and uncheck "GPU subdivision" below. Now the object should be visible.

    For those stuck at around 15:20 with a keyboard without PgDn/PgUp keys:
    1- Edit mode > Select a vertex in the donut
    2- Press the G key, *then* scroll up and/or down your middle mouse wheel until the size circle appears so you can adjust it to your needs. Size determines surface affectation radius.
    EDIT: Make sure you have "proportional editing" turned on as in the video, otherwise it won't work. Has happened to me. ^_^!

    Spent over an hour trying to get the proportional editing bit to work, to the point it was driving me insane. The bit that is missed is:
    YOU HAVE TO HAVE A VERTICES SELECTED, then press G. Then your scroll wheel alters the area size and moving the mouse moves the surface of the donut like in the tutorial.

    @s.j.carroll6185 Рік тому +39

    Great series so far!
    For those who got stumped at 14:45, try these steps:
    1) Turn off the "snap" magnet at the top of the screen. The donut seems to be much too small for vertices to escape the gravity well of "snap".
    2) Click on a vertex, then press G.
    3a) Scroll whichever way makes the number in the top left corner of the screen (Proportional Size) get smaller. Eventually the coveted grey circle should shrink into view.
    3b) Alternatively, left-click once, and go to the "> Move" option that appears in the bottom left corner of the screen. Change proportional size to 0.040.
    Move your cursor around, and hopefully the vertex will move, too!
    If not, maybe you need to do step 2 again? Hope this helps!

    An important tip from a fellow beginner, always create a folder for your projects and use save as to keep multiple versions of your models. Undo can only go back so far, so each time you delve into a new portion of your project, make a new version so you can go back just in case you make any catastrophic changes that you can’t back out of. Otherwise you’re gonna learn the hard way.

    • @_S_P_A_C_E_M_A_N_
      @_S_P_A_C_E_M_A_N_ 2 роки тому +15

      Also: save regularly. Every time you save, blender automatically generates a .blend1 file which is your previously saved file. Just remove the 1 at the end of the extension and you can work on it. It's saved me a time or two.

That is what makes so many tutorials go wrong. We're here to learn about BLENDER, not here to learn how much YOU know about Blender. It is our first time touching this thing and you explain it with that as your foundation.

    2 helpful pointers:
    1. You don't have to Hold G. Make sure you have an object/objects or in edit mode a vertex/vertices selected then just press the key once and the function will be toggled. this applies to other hotkeys like Scale, Move, and Rotate that I know of so far. Also you can lock any of those actions to an axis with x, y, or z and in some cases you can press the key a 2nd time Ex: when in edit if you have a vertex selected and press G to grab then press G again you will lock that vertex movement along only lines that connect to the selected vertex.
    (note I'm like 2 days into blender and have no prior experience with other editors so have yet to really explore.)
    2. Super useful for people with a laptop and track pad that may not have figured this out. Also may not apply to all track pads I guess. However if you can scroll on you track pad with 2 finger swipes like I can the you can effectively achieve the same result as holding down the middle mouse key. I find it to feel rather natural honestly.

    13:39 If when you press "G" the whole object moves even though you have only 4 vertices selected, it's because the radius of proportional editing is too big! To change the radius, use the scroll wheel down and scroll like crazy. Don't get discouraged. Eventually, a circle will appear!

    If you're stuck in 15:19 , Since you made the donut small the selection area (the circle thing ) needs to be the same size as well. Just press the proportional editing button, select some mesh, press "G" and scroll till you see the selection area.

    For those tract pad users like me who are stuck at 15:22 press w to change your selection type press w until you see a circle in your cursor it means your selection type now is for vertices then select a vertices and press g then use two fingers and scroll up it should work the same way like the mouse wheel. Just scroll up till you see another circle its a little darker than the selection circle then just look at the top right corner for the proportional size and adjust it to 0.004 it doesn't have to be exact. Another tip to select multiple vertices this can work for both laptop and pc users just move your camera angle where you can see the side you want to adjust then try to capture multiple vertices inside the selection circle then press g adjust it to your desired proportional size and move it how ever you want! _(´ω`_)⌒)_ sorry English isn't really my mother tongue so sorry for any grammatical errors you see just wanted to help : )

    Instead of using proportional editing to change the shape of the doughnut, I like to add a displace modifier above the subd surface modifier and add a clouds texture to it. Then just adjust the settings to a very small amount on the clouds texture, and then adjust the scale of the displacement until you have what you like. Then just apply the displace modifier. It usually gives a very realistic deformation to the doughnut.

I did a bit of researching and found out that you can pull that up with the "W" hotkey as well (as long as the donut is selected.) Hope this helps for anyone who needs it :) Also. @16:03 if you can't find the little ring size too, just select the donut then click on the O hotkey, something should popup in the bottom left corner, where you can adjust the size to 0.04.

    NOTE: Something left out from the former tutorial is that subdivision modifier does not permanently modify the underlying mesh and can be removed or changed at any time. The modifier is applied after/during editing the mesh, so even though it looks like it has more segments visually, when you turn on edit mode to see the vertices they aren't actually more of them. This is useful for keeping the number of vertices you have to manipulate low while creating a highly detailed model.
    (So I've finally settled on sitting down and learning blender... Started the other day with the same tutorial but was on the blender 2.8 from 3 years and realized this is the newer one. I stopped around part 6 and decided to restart on this newer one. Anyway, I just wanted to provide this note as I thought it was useful to know from the previous tutorial).

However, when you exit edit mode you have to do the process above again.
