Watching this dude model a plate in seven and a half minutes after it took me hours to do the same thing was the most humbling moment of my life.

If anyone is having trouble with bevel not working like the video follow these steps, "in edit mode with plate rings selected, press A > M > By Distance" then it should look just like the videos.

Thanks to Andrew and Blender being here for ever. Started Blender with your lovely Bagel and now I‘m teaching Blender at university. Life is better with you and the community ❤

If you create the circle (or anything else) and suddenly there are many lines around it, like a sphere shape, make sure the mesh you create it is not within any of the Sprinkles groups.
Blender Guru, I can't thank you enough for the great tutorials :)

I've been donating for the last two years or so. I don't even use blender that much, but I appreciate all the things made by the people who do

A monthly donation to blender is like a small investment in getting more cool art made by people

I tried to make a plate with the UV Sphere and it was actually a nice way of doing it, but the circle turned to be the easiest way after all !! Really awesome lessons by the way ! Just started learning Blender a week ago and went further than I imagined with the videos ! Thanks a lot for the energy and dedication !!!

I'm so glad Blender has become as huge as it has. I was a big 3ds max guy from the mid-late 2000s until I stopped modeling altogether for a while. I remember trying blender several times over the years and just couldn't stand the way it was designed. When they finally conceded a bit on the whole "doing it our way" for everything, it really started picking up a lot of traction. And finally my return to 3D a couple years ago I went straight to blender and haven't looked back.

I have a lot of trouble with my hands, and made a few mistakes early in the process that I didn't notice. Subsequently, I had to do the early parts of this tutorial series several times. I got really frustrated, but I walked away and took some time and came back, and I did eventually get this far, so I have had a go at making a plate for homework. I have to say, it's so easy to come back to these tutorials just because you're such a kind and patient teacher, who is clear and careful in his instructions. And the joy I felt at reaching this point and then finding I had done so much of my homework correctly is so, so gratifying! I'm having a great time!

tutorial so good I'm seeing donuts in my sleep for a 3 day in a row

#joinedblender, really thought I wasn't cut out for this, but thanks to you, Andrew for making it less daunting. And thanks to everyone on Discord for always being ready to help out. Great Community!

#joinedblender ! Thanks for the push Andrew. Happy to support the development of this amazing software and community.

I managed to make the plate assigned last video using a short cylinder with a couple extra rings added using the ctrl + r, then scaling the lower rings of vertices down with them getting wider the further up the cylinder, and finally deleting the top face to make it open. Then adding subdivision, solidify, and applying a texture with shader nodes I got a convincing plate I am proud of :)
Thank you for these tutorials! They're really encouraging to newer people like me!

Andrew, so grateful that you have put this tutorial up and that Blender is a free open source software. Back in the early 2000s I went to college for computer animation and left only after a year, I felt I was no good at it. 20 years later I've decided to give it another try, and to chase my dreams and passions for design. Thank you again for putting these tutorial up for everyone to learn such an amazing software!

Cheers

I made my plate before watching this video. I started with a cylinder and really like the way mine turned out. I love how many avenues you can go down to reach the same destination in things like design and editing.

I started my 3D career with your tutorials in 2010, to make models for StarCraft 2. I started at a 3D school and got into architecture visualization since, and it has been my job for over 10 years now.
I owe my career to you and Blender, and I am so impressed with how far blender has come, it is far faster and almost as versatile as 3Ds (even ahead in some respects ) despite being free.
This software is taking the CG community by storm, and also putting pressure on Autodesk to keep up, so of you use it or not blenders development is a good thing.
I will definitely be contributing.

5min 12s, if you want to scale out proportionally, hit alt + S instead of just hitting S. Worked for me :)
Thanks for the great tutorials!

#joinedblender Been wanting to make a film for ages and Blender is not only fully capable, but also completely free. I hope I dedicate enough time and effort to be able to see my dream film come through. Thanks Andrew for compiling your amazing series! And thank thank you to everyone at Blender.

I love this software, I've been dabbling in it for a long time. This series has been a bit of a refresher and getting back into my groove. I really appreciate the gentle push to give back to a community I love dearly.
