The final few parts won't be uploaded till 12/5 unfortunately. I was trying to get them all finished before my booked vacation, but ran out of time. You're welcome to try to finish the animation yourself, or see you back here on Tuesday next week 😊

Congrats! If you have gotten this far, you are one of the 8.3% of people who made it from start to finish! Good luck finishing!

Photographer: I don’t like the sunlight on the plate, I’ll move the plate.
CG artists: move the sun and the window😆

Can confirm that "we'll fix it in post" is the most dangerous phrase in the production world

Everyone, take the time to realize that you got this far only starting with a plain grey cube.

If your render is too zoomed in in the compositing screen use v and Alt+v to zoom in and out respectively

when you arrive first, but you donut know what to say.

For those that didnt catch what he did at @16:39 to get his viewport to exhibit the dark version with the glowy-streaks lights, he simply attached the Glare's Image output directly to the input bud of the Viewer node.
At @17:33, he does this again, saying "now let's pre-vi that"; For context, 'pre-vis' stands for 'pre-visualization' and 'pre-vi" might also stand for "preview". He means "let's take a look at the preview of that (the Fog Glow effect)", so he unhooks the connection from the Streaks effect to the Viewer, and hooks the Fog Glow effect to the Viewer instead.

Every time I think I’m done, he always arrives with a new episode

Its been 33.33% of a month practicing donut, im still on a streak of 11 days. Thanks

[rakhipandey]

I am really proud that I am able to follow the tutorial and make donut by myself. THANK YOU BLENDER GURU❤

The four controls for manipulating a Background Image in the Compositor:

V zooms out.
Alt + V zooms in.
Alt + MMB pans around.
Alt + Home fits backdrop to the available area.

Years after i have completed my first donut, here i am finally giving the compositor editor a try and of course i come back to the Guru himself to learn about it . Just amazing!

[TomFoolerymp]

Never thought I'd go through so much stress over donuts

[PandamanicalGames]

Been really on and off lately, but still determined to finish up, these tutorials have been amazing, and even though it feels very early-days, it's finally connecting together all these questions I had years ago about how modelling is done, how textures are applied, these are amazing resources, it's heartening to see all these other people talking about this kick-starting their artistic journey and process! :)

Thank you for the free tutorials! I always remember my first donut of the first series! It was amazing to follow the steps when I was still living in Italy. I'm watching this series without using the software now that I'm living in the UK, but I cannot wait to open the software and do it again, in a better way! Big hug for big donuts 🍩 🎉

[juligvazquez]

The realtime compositor is amazing!! it's always awesome to come back to this tutorial :D

[sneakydoodle]

it's actually good that the next part was delayed for a week cus it made me wanna look at CG fast track's previous tutorial that teaches you how to do a tracking shot and ended up realising he has started a whole new series for 4.0
Blessing in disguise💯

[SaschaBucher]

And again! It's been 2 years since I learnt about Blender with the help of you, Andrew, with the donut course from back then. Now I've done it again. Thank you @blenderguru! PS: Blender gets a small donation from me every month because the programme is just great! #joinedblender although I already decided in favour of it some time ago.

Quick side note from a camera and photography standpoint: The stars in your glare are related to the amount of blades in the lens, so if you want to make it realistic, look at the blades you've set in your camera settings. 16 points seems excessive and I'd stick to a more common 6-10 points because 6 or 5 blade apertures are more common than 8+ blades.
