He has made "Donut" the "Hello World" of 3D ❤️🔥

I graduated with an AS degree in 2005 for Computer Animation. I never got into this as my career and now almost 20 years later I'm wanting to get back into 3d modeling and so far this tutorial is just amazing. I spent 10s of thousands of dollars for my education and it is just insane how much information is available online for free. Thank you so much!

Finding your channel has inspired me to start trying to use Blender, which I had downloaded but didn't use because I was overwhelmed at first. Your tutorials are very clear, informative and of a high quality. Keep up the excellent work and thanks very much for sharing it.

I had bought a few online courses and they really show a lot (they explain pretty much every function) but this is the first time I've really enjoyed a tutorial. As mentioned in the previous part, you don't need to know everything. Praxis is almost more important, everything else comes with time. I can use the purchased courses perfectly as a supplement afterwards, but for learning and memorizing the basic functions, this tutorial is unbeatable! Thank you so much for your time and effort, you are just opening up the world of 3D editing to me. 🤗

@12:30 IMPORTANT TIP about the "Circle of Influence" that I learned the HARD way! If your proportional edit isn't moving JUST a part of the donut but the WHOLE donut, then like me, you've somehow scrolled the SIZE of your circle of influence to be SO big, that now you're moving you whole donut as if in Object mode. As a beginner I tried everything to figure WHY it was doing this. Finally, I decided that my best route to figure out what the problem was, was to begin anew with a new donut. Sure enough, I see the "Proportion Size (Smooth):" on the upper left and notced it was way smaller on this newer file. I was able to go back and fix my old bad donut file. Thank GOD. Hope that helps someone who messes up with the scroll wheel the way that I did.

This is the third donut series I'm following along with for fun since I started with Blender years ago. It's so nostalgic and enjoyable following along with Andrew after all this time. For all you people new to the world of 3d. I know it will feel hard and confusing at first, but don't give up through that first steep learning curve, it's really a life changing experience. After 3 years I was finally able to make Blender my full-time work and it all started with this donut. 🍩

16:04 - If you are not able to select edge as shown by selecting alt+left_click, it is because:
'You have checked "Emulate 3 button mouse" in preference setting' in previous video.

I have been working with blender for years. I learned more in the past two videos than I have in that entire time. Things are so much faster with all the hot keyes!

"Now, some of you might have just discovered that your donut has disappeared."

I was, indeed, starting to internally freak out a little. Thanks for the great timing!

Once again, Blender Guru sets the bar for 3D tutorials. The depth, pacing, and clarity are unmatched!

I have been using blender for more than 10 years, I use it professionally, I just this second learned about proportional editing, I’ve been loop selecting and circle grabbing vertices and then push/pulling and shrinking to deform things, for YEARS I am going to CRY why is Blender ALWAYS LIKE THIS

10:20 Understanding mesh components in Blender
12:26 Adjust circle of influence and use G to manipulate mesh

16:35 Blender basics and encouragement for beginners
18:17 Self-learning at home is easy with online resources.

learned blender on the V2 of this series, forgot it all and now I'm back! It's honestly just as fun as I remember and the instructions are so clear its hasn't left me looking for answers. Thank you so much!

[melindanou]

I have recently started learning modeling and I just want to say thank you! Your tutorials have done for me what no other tutorials and no amount of exploring the manual has been able to do; I understand it. Thank you thank you thank you thank you. You are amazing.🤗

for all of you out there who are struggling, KEEP GOING, you will get it. I learned blender less than 4 months ago using this man's 3.6 tutorial. It's the one you want to watch. I would rewatch every section of each video 5 to 20 times each so ik it can be rough. I'm re-watching the tutorial to learn the new 4.0 update but I've only replayed maybe 3 sentences total. So it really will get easier.

[DangericeDreams]

If you’re making this donut right now, don’t give up. It might be difficult to get through the tutorial, but you can do it!! Just think of all the marvelous creations you’ll make once you finish making the donut!

[MarshallVR]

I took a break from blender 6 months ago, but my new years resolution is to be good at it again, I've felt like this video has taught me more than I remember!

[Not.me....]

GUYS Loop select is now "Shift + Double Left Click" and not "Alt + Left Click" (Pin this!!!)

[kyliejungschlager]

I've seen some breathtaking creations on the internet but I always deemed it impossible to ever learn myself. Last week I saw some amazing fantasy world and I finally decided I want to make something like that too! I found this tutorial and I am so happy I did! Your instructions are so clear and it makes it less overwhelming and very fun. 😀
