It really is inspiring and fun to hear your story. Thank you for all you do for the Blender Community and the VFX community at large. And please thank your mother and your wife-on behalf of all of us-for bringing us all a literally award-winning Blender Guru Donut!😆😄 All joking aside, literally please do convey our thanks to them as well.🤩
Not a single second I stopped smiling. Watching your smiles, thoughts, fun, and massive value for a 17 year boy is a big motivation to never stop learning and keep following passion. Keep making these podcasts. I loved it😘 The school section was my favorite BTW😂
I would die to be 17 again. Please take advantage of your age and learn as much as you can. I'm a decade older than you and just picking up blender now, despite being interested in it when I was 17. Imagine where you could be when you're my age now if you stick to it
Dude I know right!!! It was such a dope moment ... Plus it was genuinely one of the most fun episodes we've had. Text us and let us know what you thought about it!
That section about the comfortable job hits close to home. I've been with my company for 7 years, but I don't really have anything to show for it. Evidently I don't hate it because I'm still there, but the "pain" is starting to get greater and greater as I lose my patience. Hearing your point about this topic has made me realize that I really need to turn that negativity into something that pushes me into a better career. This is my first time on your channel and it's an easy sub from me
I know I'm 2 weeks late but this was a brilliant podcast! It was awesome to hear how Andrew got to where he is now and his history with Blender. Well done fellas! You just earned another subscriber!
Such a great episode! Came from Andrew's community post While I was trying to find a good podcast to listen while I was working on my blender short film. Got interested in the podcast and stopped working totally lol but no regrets! You guys seem very genuine and I love that excited to check out all the previous episodes!
Hey man! Thanks for coming all the way here and stopping work just to listen/watch this episode. Means a lot to us! We had loads of fun and learnt so much from Andrew and hope you did too. Can't wait to see you for our next episodes bud!
This one was pure gold! Andrew have had such a great impact on 3D scene and especially on Blender. I have done those donuts also and got excited on Blender. Perhaps we will see something out from him also in Unreal in the future. So glad that you guys finally had the change to interview with him. Well done!
Oh man I'd really like to point something out. Maybe its a bit to poetic or philosphical or whatever but i think its a perfect example of how the smallest things matter, and its so serendipitous that its the blender donut that happens to be in the movie Everything, Everywhere which is all about this. It was a simple, almost throw away choice by Andrews wife that the tutorial was a donut. Andrew made a simple choice to go to a conference and Ton made a simple choice to bring up that Blender needed more educational content, and Andrew thought sure why not. And Andrew almost didnt make the donut tutorial, but he decided ah sure ok i guess. At no point did any of them think those choices would become what they did, but they rippled out and resonated with others who made their own choices until many years later the donut ends up as a central plot point in a multi Oscar winning movie about whether or all choices don't matter or any choice can matter. Its a great example that the smallest actions we take ripple out to effect other people accross space and time and we can't know if or how they will matter to someone. Whether thats a kind word, an offer of help or a choice of a donut.
Wow!!! Holy ........ Reading this just gave us goosebumps!! The moment you brought up the storyline of the movie and we remembered the ending! Feels like this has all been planned out meticulously even though it all came from simple choices. Just goes to show how important our smallest decisions in life can be.
My daughter in grade 11 did a Digital Technology class that used Blender and Unity to achieve some modelling result and game result. So I think you can choose subjects that you learn those things at school, which is good. She didn't do Andrew's Donut tutorial (even though I had suggested it a couple of years ago) but absolutely crushed it with her models. I was so impressed by her work and so was her teacher. Not sure if she followed any tutorials, but she seemed to have a talent for modelling. I wonder what she would be like if she learnt the shortcuts.
I watched the new Donut part one and had to pull over and eat donut as well. I couldn’t help it! You guys have had the bestest awesomest guest list lately! Thanks for the videos!
Thank you. Your podcast gave me hope 🙏 ✨️ I am a 40 year old. Worked most of my life doing jobs that require just arms, legs and spine. Having my knees screwed and getting ready for a surgery on them has finally made me realise that i am gonna take a risk as a 40 year old and start my Blender journey. I had my self doubts but to hell with them. One day, I am gonna make the stories, i have in mind, come to life.
Wow ... reading this gives us soooo much inspiration! First of all thank you for taking the time to watch/listen to the podcast. We are so happy that it gave you hope .. that is the only purpose! And secondly, it is awesome to hear that you are going to get the Blender journey going! Listen when we tell you it will be the best decision you've ever made. Sure it'll be tough, but the tougher the road, the more rewarding the destination. Can't wait to see where you go with it.
@badxstudio Thanks, I've already started working on making assets for my short film. It'll take some time, but I'll definitely make my film. Thanks for your kind reply. Wish you guys a lot of success in future ✨️👍
Super cool to watch and listen to this one and nice to remember the same origins that I shared with Andrew, the gingerbread, and those text-only manuals back in the day. :D Andrew was (and still is) such a huge inspiration to me starting out and his Wow Factor PDF. And it was a huge honor to have been a part of his OG team waaay back then. Very motivating interview indeed. Cheers, Farhad and Faraz! 😍
We had the idea of asking Andrew the question about "His Donut guy" since we locked him in as a guest! We were always wondering who he learnt from ... to finally find out that it was the gingerbread was awesome! And dude how did you guys do TEXT MANUALS only back then! Crazy!! Anyways thanks for watching and see you next week for the next episode :)
@@badxstudio That gingerbread tutorial was a pivotal moment to some of us but honestly was a tough one to follow along and assumed existing knowledge which was rough for most beginners during our time. I went as far as printing and hard-binding the Blender user manual back then and was proud to carry it in my backpack. 😁
I can relate to not liking to learn some things in school and later in life wanting to know everything about it. Back in my high school days I went in the IT direction mainly because of gaming, didn't care for wood or metal working or most other trades that were available to study. Never got very far in IT but did learn the basics, back then people thought I was a computer genius, these days I'm an IT amateur😅 Then I ran into a video by the King of Random on YT called the mini metal foundry, long story short: Built my own melting furnace, learned all about metal casting, made patterns out of foam or wood, even started filming and editing for YT, got a 3D printer for making even better patterns... and about a week ago I started learning how to make a donut in Blender. Andrew is a great teacher! I am even a bit proud of myself for learning all this stuff 😁👍
I agree: Metahumans and live link (+ new IK rigs) are the way to go, but there's a lot of demand of virtual led studio + virtual camera rigs + chromas with U5.
Great podcast. It occured to me while you were discussing the fear of AI, that a major driver of this fear is to do with competitive mindsets. Moving away from competitive mindsets toward a collaborative approach, will ease or erase this fear. There is only one you, and your unique perspective in collaboration with other uniquenessnis what is important to bring into being. This is my view.
The Price is right. I downloaded each major update of Blender, but never used it 😅... Always overwhelmed by the unlimited possibilities (and options). I watched Andrew for years and many Blender videos, just for the entertainment side of it. Until this year with 4.0. Got my first (almost) finished donut.
Thankyou so much for sharing Real story of behind the journey of blender guru. This podcast is a great inspiration for me in my 3D journey🤗🤗💐💐💐💐🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥🏆🏆💯💯💯🎉🎉🎉
Video in Blender is still difficult to teach. So many people use hotkeys and don't explain what they did or why they setup those hotkeys. Following along is just as difficult as text was if it's not done right. Which he has a great track record of doing correctly.
His first Blender tutorial was making a car tire! Ironically, the first time I made a plate for the donuts in his donut tutorial, it turned out looking like a hub cap, so I know how to make 3D hubcaps.
Thank you for this: I'm currently in a comfort zone and as I don't have any safety nets in case I fail so it's hard for me to try to even put effort into it properly. Not giving up though
Amazing podcast, I learned Blender with the pdf of the gingerbread man and it was so horrible to follow, then I found the car tire tutorial and from that moment I started to follow the content of Andrew
Katzenburg also keeps being misquoted on that 10% thing. He said 10% of the people that he used to work with back in the day, as in, all of the advancements we’ve already made and all the software changes since the 90s (when he was in charge of Lion King and Little Mermaid and stuff) have already cut down on the amount of people and hours required to make an animated feature by a huge amount. He’s not saying 10% of the people working now. You could make a feature at home by yourself using blender in your home now, with tools that only major studios and hundreds of professionals could achieve thirty years ago. What he said is already basically true, and he’s just observing that AI will move that further.
Andrew. I had a job like you had for almost 10 years straight. In UK we call it Extraman. They literally have a plethora of shit jobs - but you take generally whatever you can. So I did. My god there were so many really crap jobs out there, mostly carrying stuff from A to B. So, I was a game designer since 1999. Economy crashed in 2008. Was jobless from 2013 and did multiple crappy jobs, but still freelanced whenever I could, using max and Maya. Only late last year august did I finally get a games designer job again. Finally! But man it sucks because you know your portfolio is great, yet no one is hiring you. I guess it’s the electronic way of operation now. A computer places your portfolio on a to-do pile, and decides whether you qualify for an interview or not. Long ago, you could speak to a real human and probably get it, given your skills. Now, your skill don’t matter. The computer decides whether you’re through or not. I have to admit one thing though - man you are in tip too shape when you’re doing labour work. I mean, you get strong! Real strength. Not gym strength. Anyway, I’m working with Blender almost on a daily basis now.
LMAO! I remember debating with Faraz for a week about whether Blender or Cinema4D was better. Apparently, Andrew's donut video convinced Faraz to switch to Blender. And I won the debate.
Not me just the other day struggling to calculate the pitch angle a vector would have to rotate by in radians to "look at" another vector the other day...why didn't they teach that in math class, instead i got polynomials and permutations 😒
Lol ..not me also learning through chatgpt and coming to the conclusion that finding the ArcSin of negative Z axis (where Z is upwards facing) will give you that pitch rotation (in degrees)...point is, ChatGPT is an amazing learning resource
I was like, what ? Its like almost two hours long I probably watch this later, or partially ... well I didnt ... :D one sitting, very good podcast, keep rocking guys :D
Right now we have the ability to "fight the Ai" by learning more, but I don't think that will always be true. Its kind of like being in the right place at the right time. You need to predict which skills are going to be the hardest for Ai to automate, and focus on those.
Elon musk said in an interview that eventually (who knows how long away that could be) AI will be able to do everything for us humans, and we all potentially will have our own AI assistant. So when that time comes, it's only a matter of: 1. If we can do anything we want, and we are capable of it, what would we do? In other words, can we find meaning in what we do! What do you think about this?
Are you talking about a world like Star Trek, where money doesn't dictate what we do? If so, I'm all for it, but I think that is going to be even further off than an AGi that would be capable of fully replacing a human. I think Ai will lead to a lot of great things, but I also think society is going to need to adapt faster than it ever has before. @@badxstudio
Actually in India, Colleges named IIIT (not IIT) are teaching blender in there program and got shocked after knowing that couse I get an seat but I leave that seat🤐🤐
I Make 2 years in Blender in January and It feels really Scary sometimes because i can't see me doing anything else other than making films using Blender. i Think i'll be fine but..still lol.. The obsession is real.
36:55 THIS !!! THIS RIGHT HERE, pfft im not trying to learn how to model the specific thing youre shiwing, no, I want to learn the techniques i could use to materialise the stuff in my head into 3d space, that's why i insta click off tutorials that just say "do this do that next click here" without explaining anything about what those operations are doing whatsoever
'Daddy?' 'Yes son' 'Can I have a donut?' 'We don't have any and anyway we're he're to visit nan's grave" "But that one over there has donuts around it' 'Aye lad (obviously not Australian then) a great man lies there.. many can say today' 'I can 3d model a donut!" '...Can you dad?' 'Yes.. I could, I did and probably still can' 'What else?' 'Nothing actually the anvil was harder.. but my hey donuts were pretty good'.
1:05:52 i disagree here . What about people who are not that much intelligent to learn many of skills . And also he say AI can replace the skillset u have but its not limited to 1 skill for AI to place we can see many AI doing replace lot of skills what humans can learn then,.. it seems like in movies the weaker one don't have right to live anymore 😢, i know AI was very much productivity but if it happened all suddenly people get weird(many guys may lost job . Income decreased . Govt GDP decreased.. eventually people dont invest on many entertainment ares.... The govt should take action ...i think it will come full circle 😂 ......anyway seeing three of u guys are so beautiful 😍
1:04:50 totally disagree on that @blenderguru and I am surprised watching you state this argument. There is a huge difference between what you describe compare to AI. Before AI things were moving and evolving but human factor was always mandatory to perform a task. Like you said; someone created the shaders by coding them and now someone joins nodes for example. In that case human is always present just the tools and ways have changed. Now with AI human factor will be excluded completely in the most cases. That’s a HUGE difference. When someone will be able to run a few sentences and create the Star Wars spaceship in the future the human factor will have the less impact eventually in the pipeline. And the industry will be mostly AI generated that includes games, motion image etc I am not AI hater or something but we need to realise that AI creation in the future will not rely to human to complete a task apart from prompting. Modelling, Texturing, UVs etc will eventually be so automated that jobs like modelling will vanish at some point or the salaries will not worth to doing it manually. Is only up to studios and businesses to balance this evolvement somehow.
Hey guys.... Would you like to provide a tutorial regarding custom metahuman face and body using metapipe 2 ... Arts and spells (The creator of meta pipe) is giving away a free version where we can customise metahuman body and face morph targets
Hey mate! We are literally finishing up our METAHUMAN CUSTOMISATION TUTORIAL but our workflow is not using any 3rd party plugin instead it works within blender itself. It's not as flexible as metapipe of course but we don't use maya unfortunately. Nonetheless that is an approach we are considering to try and learn!
Thanks for having me on! Fun chat 😎
Thanks for chatting with us mate! KEEP THE DONUTS COMING :) And good luck in LA!
❤ you Andrew !

I started 3D 2017 and with the way Andrew's videos explained what the buttons actually did I thought for a while he was the creator of blender
Hahahhahah How does this guy know everything?????? hahahaha

Great insight to one of the early Blender greats! Thank you guys for taking the time AND Andrew, for sharing! 🙂
Thank you for watching 🙌🙌
Can't believe you got around to finally interview the man who got Faraz started in 3D! It has officially gone full circle.
Dude I know right!!! It was such a dope moment ... Plus it was genuinely one of the most fun episodes we've had. Text us and let us know what you thought about it!
Full circle like a donut 🍩

You are amazing! Thank you for the love
Wow, what a great trio you are! Glad I found your podcast! Very motivating, informative and entertaining! I hope you'll do it again!
Thank you so much! This is the most beautiful thing we could hear today. We do this podcast every week so stay tuned ;)
For my first week of donuts and Blender, I also thought Andrew had some hand in Blender's founding. :D
hahahah good one
Loved this talk! Amazing work guys, thanks for everything @blenderguru does for the 3d community and LONG LIVE THE DONUT!
Glad you enjoyed it! We loved every second of it.

Couldn't agree more bro! It was great to talk to Andrew. Thanks a lot.
Btw did you also do the donut tutorial during covid???
In fact, I did it a year before the pandemic, but the covid period did inspire me to learn more about Blender.
Oh man I'd really like to point something out. Maybe its a bit to poetic or philosphical or whatever but i think its a perfect example of how the smallest things matter, and its so serendipitous that its the blender donut that happens to be in the movie Everything, Everywhere which is all about this.
It was a simple, almost throw away choice by Andrews wife that the tutorial was a donut.

Lol ..not me also learning through chatgpt and coming to the conclusion that finding the ArcSin of negative Z axis (where Z is upwards facing) will give you that pitch rotation (in degrees)...point is, ChatGPT is an amazing learning resource
Hahhaha wished they taught it in school damn :(

Amen!!!
great chat!
Thank you sir!!
I was like, what ? Its like almost two hours long I probably watch this later, or partially ... well I didnt ... :D one sitting, very good podcast, keep rocking guys :D
hahahaha that's great to hear man ... it was a great conversation ... to be honest we rewatched it when we were editing it hahah
Right now we have the ability to "fight the Ai" by learning more, but I don't think that will always be true. Its kind of like being in the right place at the right time. You need to predict which skills are going to be the hardest for Ai to automate, and focus on those.
Elon musk said in an interview that eventually (who knows how long away that could be) AI will be able to do everything for us humans, and we all potentially will have our own AI assistant. So when that time comes, it's only a matter of:
1. If we can do anything we want, and we are capable of it, what would we do?
In other words, can we find meaning in what we do!
What do you think about this?
Are you talking about a world like Star Trek, where money doesn't dictate what we do? If so, I'm all for it, but I think that is going to be even further off than an AGi that would be capable of fully replacing a human.
I think Ai will lead to a lot of great things, but I also think society is going to need to adapt faster than it ever has before.

and great video btw thank you 😀
Hehe, I watching the donut series at the moment and I don't even have a laptop or tablet.
I'm willing to buy one though. 😊
Yesss Which part are you at???
So really we should say: Thank you Mamma Price and Misses Price for bringing us an award winning movie featuring a Blender Guru Donut!😃
44:26 what sorcery is this? Bro just read out my mind on the podcast 🥹
Actually in India, Colleges named IIIT (not IIT) are teaching blender in there program and got shocked after knowing that couse I get an seat but I leave that seat🤐🤐
That's amazing to hear... Students there are so lucky ;)
PERFECT ❤
lets gooooo my guru
YESSIR! He is awesome
Very inspirational ❤
100%
I Make 2 years in Blender in January and It feels really Scary sometimes because i can't see me doing anything else other than making films using Blender. i Think i'll be fine but..still lol.. The obsession is real.
In the uk we learn blender at school
Guhhh... Why isn't it longer😒
I WANT MOREEE
hahahah we should bring Andrew for another round then.
Ok I'm done and yup that was the shortest hour of my life
@@badxstudiodefinitely, always a pleasure to hear yours and his thoughts on things
Hahahah love you! Thank you so much
@@badxstudio ❤️
Shout out DonutGuru
The legend 🍩
36:55 THIS !!! THIS RIGHT HERE, pfft im not trying to learn how to model the specific thing youre shiwing, no, I want to learn the techniques i could use to materialise the stuff in my head into 3d space, that's why i insta click off tutorials that just say "do this do that next click here" without explaining anything about what those operations are doing whatsoever
AMEN!!!! we've had our fair share of tutorials we've seen that just ask you to follow their footsteps .... you never learn anything watching those!
@@badxstudio yup, bad lazy teachers everywhere 😂, not bashing on them of course
besttttt everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Amazing
that's right thank you to teach us blender 😘😘😘😘😘
but in UK you can study cooking and MVT at schools....
What a fantastic human being, packs all of his charisma right into his tutorials and makes hard stuff fun. Andrew you‘re delicious 🍩
hahahah this was a good one! Best teacher ever!
When you come with metahuman tutorial I am wetting I love the tutorial alot
hahaha thanks! wait are you asking us for metahuman tutorial or andrew?
@@badxstudiosure metahuman tutorial haha
Literally had to buy some donuts to watch this lol
hahaha did u eat as much as ? we almost finished 12 of them after the episode.
@@badxstudio lol no I bought 7 and only ate 2. I thought yall was going to eat all 12 during the interview. I'd definitely would have ate all 7
'Daddy?'
'Yes son'
'Can I have a donut?'
'We don't have any and anyway we're he're to visit nan's grave"
"But that one over there has donuts around it'
'Aye lad (obviously not Australian then) a great man lies there.. many can say today'
'I can 3d model a donut!"
'...Can you dad?'
'Yes.. I could, I did and probably still can'
'What else?'
'Nothing actually the anvil was harder.. but my hey donuts were pretty good'.
What a smart guy!
@PushpekSindhu WHAT IS INDIAN 58:00
42:10 🔑🔑
Right??? We both know we need to learn the hell out of anything we teach!!
Why did the man from mission impossible start teaching blender ?
Risking it all for a Korean girl
W Andrew
Hahaha I mean it worked haha
Unreal Engine looks really cool, but I don't really like EPIC. I guess the good thing is that it is sort of open source.
Where is faraz
1:05:52 i disagree here . What about people who are not that much intelligent to learn many of skills . And also he say AI can replace the skillset u have but its not limited to 1 skill for AI to place we can see many AI doing replace lot of skills what humans can learn then,.. it seems like in movies the weaker one don't have right to live anymore 😢, i know AI was very much productivity but if it happened all suddenly people get weird(many guys may lost job . Income decreased . Govt GDP decreased.. eventually people dont invest on many entertainment ares.... The govt should take action ...i think it will come full circle 😂 ......anyway seeing three of u guys are so beautiful 😍
1:04:50 totally disagree on that @blenderguru and I am surprised watching you state this argument.
There is a huge difference between what you describe compare to AI.
Before AI things were moving and evolving but human factor was always mandatory to perform a task. Like you said; someone created the shaders by coding them and now someone joins nodes for example. In that case human is always present just the tools and ways have changed.
Now with AI human factor will be excluded completely in the most cases. That’s a HUGE difference.
When someone will be able to run a few sentences and create the Star Wars spaceship in the future the human factor will have the less impact eventually in the pipeline.
And the industry will be mostly AI generated that includes games, motion image etc
I am not AI hater or something but we need to realise that AI creation in the future will not rely to human to complete a task apart from prompting.
Modelling, Texturing, UVs etc will eventually be so automated that jobs like modelling will vanish at some point or the salaries will not worth to doing it manually.
Is only up to studios and businesses to balance this evolvement somehow.
Hey guys.... Would you like to provide a tutorial regarding custom metahuman face and body using metapipe 2 ... Arts and spells (The creator of meta pipe) is giving away a free version where we can customise metahuman body and face morph targets
Hey mate! We are literally finishing up our METAHUMAN CUSTOMISATION TUTORIAL but our workflow is not using any 3rd party plugin instead it works within blender itself. It's not as flexible as metapipe of course but we don't use maya unfortunately.
Nonetheless that is an approach we are considering to try and learn!
Fucking amazing video
Thank you brother. Thank you for always supporting us since day 1! We finally spoke with the GOAT. Glad u liked this one
@@badxstudio super happy to the growth you guys! It keeps me inspired to continue going ! Love seeing everything you guys have been doing in Dubai ! 🔥
Thank you brother means alot
Me i know Andrew owned poliigon but Always it was normal and ok to me,
Really? well he is the most genuine guy tbh so its cool for everyone!
@blenderguru I need your (proverbial) mum's motivation 😁😢
The source of inspiration and motivated is important!!
@@badxstudio yes it's true
Blender incorporated
You guys are muslims ? Great content man
