Thank you for putting it in 1 video, the 1000 parts made me so anxious 😭

[FlamingGamerYT]

Holy moly those chapters must have been tedious. thanks for doing this for us. You do everything you can to push the beginners in the right direction by making everything clear and Most definitely entertaining. Keep it up man. ❤❤👍👍

I barely even touched Blender before starting this course, but now I feel confident enough to make my own thumbnails in Blender because of it. So many tutorials that felt alien to me (like rigging, texture painting, etc.) now make so much sense! The foundation this course provides really can’t be overstated…

[zaleskidamian]

Thank you Andrew, for everything you do. Five years ago, I completed my first donut tutorial with your help, and today, it’s amazing to reflect on how far I’ve come. Now, I’m running my own creative business, specializing in 3D illustrations, which wouldn’t have been possible without you and people behind Blender. Your tutorials have been essential to my progress. I usually don’t comment, but today I felt the need to express my gratitude. I’m glad you’re still teaching the next generation. Keep up the great work!

[RyanKingArt]

Woah! Its all the parts combined into one giant video!!

[blocc_nova]

These videos are amazing, can't tell you how much I appreciate you teaching new generations of modelers to use blender.

‼‼FOR ANYONE STRUGGLING WITH ROTATING EULER AT 2:18:51‼‼

"Rotate Euler" has been replaced with "Rotate Rotation"
Try it for yourself, I think it has the same function as the Rotate Euler node as shown in the video!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is so good.
The pacing. The explanations.
Everything.
Mr. Price is the gold standard in Blender tutorials.

Turned ad blocker off and sitting through the ads! It's the best I can do to show that I value what you do for us. I am finally sitting through this and following along. After all, it's just 5 hours! Much more manageable than the older versions used to be, and way less anxiety-inducing than a playlist (no idea why).

4:02:40 - for anyone not getting the full key frame menu, try hitting K key on your keyboard instead. Can also check this by going into preferences > keymap > search insert key > Object mode > insert key frame menu and check what it is set to, and make sure always show menu is checked

Thank you so much Andrew. 7 or 8 years ago I followed your donut tutorial. You inspired me to never give up on something I want to better at.

[qubafootbag]

I just entered the video to express my respect to your work, man you're changing the world, hats off

[davidhsieh]

This really came out while I was in the middle of watching one of the videos

[undefwun]

Ha... this video dropping.. reminded me that one of the reasons I used to justify a new PC build was that I was gonna learn blender. 20% done...

EDITS:
1) Since the making of this video Polligon has changed the files in the downloads. There is no files with COL. Seems that BaseColor is the correct file.
2) At 2:18:55 Rotate Euler is now deprecated, quick google shows Rotate Rotation is the correct node to use.

[bobk]

Let’s go, hopefully I finish this course now

[akosiminx]

I’m new to Blender and have been eagerly looking forward to watching your videos when I have some free time to get started. I take a 5min break for every session, and it’s so easy to follow. I love the humor as well. You’re such a good instructor. Thank you for making learning so fun!

[WassimEdits]

2:09:50 if the sprinkle doesn't bend as expected, select the sprinkle in object mode, ctrl+a and apply "scale" before you add the simple deform modifier

[CJBStudios]

It’s funny that I’m seeing this because I actually still have the animation on my version of the donuts that I did while watching the entire tutorial series. I’m planning to upload it at some point and give you credit since it was part of an assigned project that I was doing.

[p.vijayanvijayan]

I watched this entire video as a complete beginner and now it's make me feel like a pro. Thank you so much for your hard work ❤.

[tomkirbygreen]

This is massively useful Andrew. I have fast internet at home but often work in places with lower to zero bitrate. Begin able to easily offline the whole course is a lifesaver. Hopefully more folks will often this.
