Blender Tutorial: How to model a Glazed Cruller Doughnut

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to model and create a glazed cruller doughnut (donut) in Blender. We'll first go over how to use curves to create the shape of the doughnut, then we'll go over how to use modifiers to create the model of the doughnut, finally, we'll go over a hack on how I created the perfect material for the doughnut.
This tutorial was made due to the amount of support on the doughnut render in the beginner of the video. The render can be found in my portfolio via the website, and my Instagram page.

Replace image texture node, use noise texture node (scale = 15, detail = 2) with black to white color ramp, then connect color from ramp to gloss shader normal. Use geometry node pointiness, connect to new color ramp with 2 color (1.000; 0.500; 0.010 @ 0.434 and 1.000; 1.000; 1.000 @ 0.639), connect color ramp color to subsurface color node. Use 0.5 for mix shader.

an amazing bump set up for the doughnut :)
Thank you for sharing

Nice tutorial! One thing I'd recommend for the material is first mixing a glossy shader with a diffuse shader with a fresnel node as the factor (diffuse on top), before mixing it with the SSS shader. Makes things a bit more... PBR-ey. Cheers!

[@TooEazyCG]

Means a lot that you watched this tutorial Grant :)
Thanks for the advice too, ha ha I totally forgot about the Fresnel node, I'll be sure to keep what you said in mind

[@RemingtonCreative]

Also, congrats on 2k!

[@cool1songs]

Great tutorial, thanks!

The shape can also be done with just a curve-circle and curve bevel object, by using the twist value settings on the points on a bezier-curve based circle. Slightly different workflow, but you can have it line up every time without worrying about the screw modifier value.

Early gratz on 2k subs :)

[@TooEazyCG]

Thanks bro! :)

[@WillianPadovaniGermano]

Good tutorial, thanks! May I add a suggestion / hint for new users? When you rotate the handles around 1:21 you can rotate them all at once: select all of them first, change the pivot center for rotation / scaling to "Individual Origins" (it's a dropdown button on the 3d view header), then rotate. Just remember to change the pivot center back to "Median Point" or whatever you need after that. Also, the blueish shade of the donut generated by the screw modifier indicates its normals are inverted (pointing inward in this case). You can fix that toggling the "Flip" button on in the screw modifier. Here: 3:35 you can see both the blueish color and the Flip button (right column of the screw modifier).

I knew I was forgetting something in the tutorial. I have a clip of me flipping the normals (but through edit mode and with Ctrl + N after converting the curve to a mesh), but forgot to insert it in. Ha ha your suggestion reminded me, thank you!

[@bflaz8620]

Definitely an interesting tutorial. Just wondering though, if we sign up for polligon, would we have to pay by the end of the trial period to continue using it for free?

[@TooEazyCG]

Thanks for watching Edwin! When you make a free trial, you have 30 days and you start with 50 or 60 credits. You use these credits to download texture packs, or texture maps separately. Once the trial on Poliigon ends, your credits will go to zero and you may not download any more textures (that require credits to download) unless you pay. There ARE textures that you can download without credits, but it's very limited and comes at 1k resolution only

i finally found a video on it, but the texture link doesn't work nooooooooooooo

[@smpmetal77]

DOUGHNUT!!!!

[@TooEazyCG]

:P

[@ZipfelmannKD]

i don't have a subsurface scattering node
what can i do? :((

[@TooEazyCG]

Are you using the Blender Render engine or the Cycles Render engine? (look at the top middle of the Blender window)

[@lukez5745]

lol read the description, it took you 8 HOURS to edit this? What did you do? Geez

[@TooEazyCG]

I guess because this tutorial was longer, the editing time was too. Normally my videos are 2-3 minutes long, and they normally take 2-3 hours to edit

[@lyndonmacaraig6108]

Bruh you sound older like 19

[@TooEazyCG]

I get that a lot :P
