@@fusion1203 As far as I know, it comes from computer programming. Look up any tutorial on a programming language, and it's probably the first thing you do.
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!
Information, and TOOLS. Teenage me constantly fell into the "Open Source" rabbit hole of constantly trying out new tools and software for various things just because they're free and community managed... Blender is a great example for modelling, I use GIMP for photo editing (as probably the best alternative to Photoshop, also free btw)... I've come to the point not only is the learning all free on RUclips, but the tools you're learning are also free! Look hard enough, and most common tools in the industry have free alternatives
Ha! I did my BA on Visual Communication Design and graduated in 2005. I had a 3D course where we learned basic Maya, but after graduating I focused more on graphic design and never continued with 3D. I was just thinking how amazing this tutorial is going and after seeing your comment, I decided to comment as well. Andrew, thanks for making it look simple and constantly reassuring us along the way. I've been wishing to get back into 3D for some time now, but as each year passed the first step felt even more daunting. Thanks to you, after 19 years, I was able to make that first step. Hopefully I keep going at it :)
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.
This has a million views and over a thousand comments. But I still want to say that this is so cool and fun to follow along having no prior experience. It nicely shows off some features I never knew existed while also explaining it in a way that makes me think I actually understand what's happening instead of just repeating the steps mindlessly.
"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!
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.
right of talking way too much and not explaining to the point of the tutorial you can actually get lost while he is giving A story that has nothing to do with IT
Not too mention entertaining as heck!! I still get a good laugh when watching. Need more tutorials like this. Feels less like a class and more like a hangout sesh with a buddy.
I just got blender and I am completely new. I was looking through lots of RUclips videos and I finally came across your series. I feel like a professional at blender now. Thank you so much for your videos.
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. 🍩
Hi! I cannot get Smooth/Flat shade property through right click as Blender Guru told us. Whenever I do right_click, the donut gets unselected and no property appears. Would you be able to guide me about it?
I like how you encouraged people to, "work on the fly" because I used to pressure myself to match it perfectly like the video. Remember guys, Blender Guru learned this stuff when there was little to no tutorials online. Loosen up, you have a guide in front of you and can play it back to see what tools to use. Cheat sheet comes in handy as well. Loving the content and I cant wait to bring my own creations into my games.
im 38 years old and i feel like 20 in college learning again watching this i always try and learn new things but this is captivating and addictive in a way. Thank you cure to my boreness and loneliness a lot of ahh ha! moments when before i was super confused with everything in blender its like you added a new meaning to my life .
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.
For real, I’ve been trying these donut tutorials since the first one and I still can’t make it past Part 2…putting aside that there are parts of Part 1 that I have to skip because I can’t figure them out. In so many years of trying to learn the basics of this program I still don’t understand what any of the keys or features mean, I haven’t been able to memorize how to navigate around, and I still rely on File>New project as my Deselect button because there just doesn’t seem to be one. I feel like I’ve wasted years of my life and I hate myself for being this stupid. I don’t understand why people say this stuff is fun 😭

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. 😀
Hi! Can you share some of the works/artists that you like for 3D? I find it hard to find them for some reason, my algorithm didn’t detect this part of me yet😅
I'm a self-thought front-end developer and I found a new challenge in blender. My donut looks great for now :D Thanks for your tutorials, it's very easy and pleasant to follow! God bless you and the work you do for us beginners :D
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!
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
I'm pretty sure Proportional editing is a relatively new feature tbf, watching blender grow has been amazing! I remember first installing blender in the 2.7 days, and being so overwhelmed😭 not to mention the UI looked ugly too (as an autistic person that actually does mean a lot to me)... I loved 2.8 and the overhaul but didn't have much time around school etc, here I am in 4.2 and FINALLY learning it! So much has changed and it's great we get all this for free!
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.🤗
After starting on zbrush 4r6/7, then learning polymodeling in 3ds--I havent done anything in 3d since 2017. I opened up blender today to give it a try, and I'm grateful for how precise and broken down these tutorials are. Back to basics is the way to go, and this so far is everything I need. I'm glad to see that intuitively some of the functions are the same across the board.
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!
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!
NEVER GIVE UP! I've found many useless tutorials in my time surrounding blender but by far is he the most patient and in-depth teacher. if you make mistakes just rewind and undo to a point where you're on the same page as the vid and go again.
It doesn't have to be India all the time, I also learn from Turkey. ;) But it may be that India's population is really high (1.5 billion) Turkey's population is 85 million. So you don't need to be surprised, normal 😁
When this dropped yesterday every 3D artist known to man grabbed the popcorn and strapped in for some viewing pleasure! BLENDER GURU 4 LYFFFFFFFFFFFFF! P.S would LOVE more intermediate level tutorials :)
We'll see if I can push through or decide to carry on this possible skill to the future lengths, but it's nice to see someone out there putting decent educational tutorials for beginners without it being sectioned behind a obnoxious paywall. I appreciate the thorough and well thought out nature of these lessons, it's really carrying my motivation for this medium right now lmao
Learning 3D for fun and WOW these are good tutorials. It's people like you that make so many forms of art easy and accessible to learn. thank you so much for this!
I've been dabbling in 3d for too many years to count. I created and animated an Eagle Transporter from Space 1999 in Povray when there was no graphical front end, you had to code the shapes, distortion and movement in a text file. I played with the Blender Game Engine a few years back, throwing balls at a wall and dropping rain into puddles. Now I'm back and starting from square 1. Thanks for starting your series again for v4. I'm really looking forward to getting some great results. And when I make it to Hollywood I promise to put a donut in my first movie! 😁👍

I’m working on making my first donut now, but I gotta say, those last 40 seconds or so was the most valuable part thus far. It is a steep learning curve and we are in the middle of it and it does seem very foreign, but it’s been fun. Thank you thus far and thank you for the encouragement too.
Sir, you are the Bob Ross of 3d Modeling. One can learn a lot from you but you also have calming voice, on top of the fact you support your watchers. "so what it looks different than mine, we are all on the fly here" its akin to his Happy little accidents.
Thanks! Really enjoy these videos and how easy they are to follow. Informative and entertaining. Love that you took the time to do an update from Blender 3 to v4. Truly awesome!
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!
Great News! I just made a donut-oid in Blender 4.0 !!! I've just watched previous versions of the donut tutorials but now I did it ... finally. So far so good! Now I'm saving a link to the playlist and wait for more! :D
"Proportional Editing" was hard to find at first, but I easily found it once I realized your menu is all kind of smashed together at the header (at least compared to mine). I found it located more in the upper center of the window rather than the upper right. Just thought I'd say something, in case others struggled to find it like me :) This is excellent content by the way! Thank you Andrew!
For these ones, who don't have time to watch a whole video: 0:42 - Hotkey Shift + A 1:46 - Hotkey F9 to show again window 3:50 - Shade smooth 4:59 - Modifies 5:25 - Subdivision modifier 5:42 - Hotkey Ctrl + 1 5:53 - ... 8:26 - Hotkey F12 (to render) 11:34 - Hotkey Tap (to switch modes) 12:17 - Proportional editing tool 12:53 - ... 15:52 - Hold Alt 16:19 - Hotkey S (to change shape of donut) 17:02 - How to save

your video is way better than my 16-day-Blender-course which I totally wasted my money on and I didn't even understand 60% of what I learned from that course. But your video is absolutely easily-understanding!!! Very helpful!! Please keep it up!! Thanks you so so much!!. I should've gone through here earlier.
I have to say, even if im chinese, not so good at English and didn't know Blender at all before watching all this, im able to understand Guru's videos for 100% , thank you very much for such a high-level, excellent, professional tutorial!🔥
00:02 Starting with a fresh scene, add a Taurus and use options in the bottom left to change dimensions. 02:10 Avoid high-poly models for easier rendering and editing. 04:13 Using the subdivision surface modifier for a smoother look 06:14 Subsurf modifier adds resolution and smooths edges 08:19 Viewport vs render: keeping it lightweight vs achieving a nice look 10:20 Understanding mesh components in Blender 12:26 Adjust circle of influence and use G to manipulate mesh 14:32 Creating a more natural look for the donut model. 16:35 Blender basics and encouragement for beginners 18:17 Self-learning at home is easy with online resources.
Good look to everyone who just started! Keep at it! If you manage to reach the end of the donut series, a whole new world awaits you! Pro tip: Don't forget to save often!
In only 30 mins I managed to learn so much that I feel I had some sort of grip into the software and I was totally blank!!! You gained a new subscriber and I will watch more and more of your amazing videos! Thanks again
I'm using a macbook pro to do this.. found out that at 16:00 he uses alt click to select the circumfrence. I don't have alt haha turns out double clicking did the trick
I would just like to say, this is the most helpful thing ever. I am really into animating, always have been - with simple lego figures and stop motion but ofc I've wanted to move on from that. I have had a go with Blender before but I haven't for the life of me figured it out. Just watching the first video, I've already got the controls and basics. Thank you.
Thank you for making this so easy. I avoided blender for years because it looked really complicated. I'm so happy I took the plunge because I'm really enjoying it! 🤩
@@leokarasoviaif you continue watching you’ll see him explain the box. delete your donut then add a new one. immediately use the box afterwards, dont click anything else and it shouldn’t disappear
@@aroaceusopp thank you I got stuck as I couldn't figure out how he selected the object, he only says right click and it works, though I'm finding f9 and f12 doesn't seem to work for my laptop
You're the Brackeys of Blender ... or should I say, Brackeys is the "Blender Guru" of Unity ! Man you're awesome, your way to transmit knowledge is precious. Thanks so much.
thank you, for taking the time out to do this series, I really appreciate it some tutorials go quick over the hot key but with you its broken down at a beginner level
at 3:15 right click wasn't bring up the specials menu, I don't know why this happened to me but I found the short cut to help. Pressing W will bring the menu up, from there you can click smooth shading or D to shade smooth. if anyone knows why right click doesn't work for me and how to fix it, i would be grateful
In case someone runs into the proportional edit moving the whole object instead of deforming it problem, you simple have to scroll up with the scroll wheel, that's because you made the grey ring too big, this way it gets smaller, achieving the desired deforming effect. Great video!!
I tried to learn by your tutorials 2 years ago and absolutely hated it. But now after using Fusion 360 and Solidworks for modelling some time it is actually ridiculously easy to understand what you are talking about. The hardest thing is getting familiarized with 3d software
I got a problem, that if I want to select the edges (like in the minute 16:08) I can't do it. What the problem was is, that "Emulate 3 Button Mouse" was on. Only if that one is off, you can select that edges by pressing "alt+left_click". I hope I could help those, who also got that problem.
trying to pull the ultimate nerd move and learn how to 3d model in under 3 days for a group project and this series is amazing, love it so much. And i have a presentation in a few months about warplanes, gonna be sooooooo helpful, keep up the great work man!
This channel is honestly amazing, I learned how to use Blender 3.0 through the last donut tutorial but sadly gave up on it for a few years. Glad to see a new version's out with the same great channel making my favorite tutorial to follow when getting back into Blender!
13:40 : I have a problem. My Propotionnal Editing is on : ON, but when i press "G" i grab my donut and the donut move, and i can't see the circle. Anyone can help me ? :)
Thank you for your amazing tutorials! They have been incredibly helpful in learning Blender. Your clear explanations and engaging style make complex topics easy to understand. Keep up the great work!
At 16:00 if you’re stuck on edge select you might be struggling with your preference setting from the previous video. What worked for me was disabling the “Emulate the 3 button mouse” in input preferences. Now followed the steps he said and the edge of the donut and all the edges in that row should be selected in that row.
I was in college back when Pixar was first touting its 3D stuff with Luxo Jr & Tin Toy. One of my friends was in Computer Science back then & was touting all the "3D artwork" he was able to do by entering what looked like a ton of numbers & code. I knew BASIC and some DOS, but I was also into drawing & painting -- all the work my friend was putting into 3D was really counterintuitive & "left-brain"ish, not the way the artists I knew worked at all. And everything since then just seemed to take 3D & computer art out of everyone's hands and keep it firmly in the hands of only those who could afford the fancy expensive software & machines. Realizing that we finally hit the point where we can put the intuitive hands-on work back into the hands of artists and not just coders is a huge relief. Making it available for EVERYONE to afford, instead of those with the $$$ is a huge high.
Hey hope you found it. If you haven’t, delete the Torus and add a new one. The ‘Add Torus’ option will be there. (Or press F9) I found the ‘Add Torus’ option disappears once you deselect your Torus after adding it. He explains it in the video too.
Thanks so much for these tutorials! I'm diving back into blender after not using it since high school, and wow! I think I learned more watching your videos than in a whole semester of HS. Thanks so much!
Did these wayyy back (thank you for the excellent tutorials) and then didn't touch Blender for a while. Running through them again. ***If you're looking for Proportional Editing and it's not in the top right. The current version of Blender (fresh install for me today) has it in the top center. Looks exactly the same as on his screen, just slide your eyes left and click the circle-dot-target icon. Let's go!
He has made "Donut" the "Hello World" of 3D ❤️🔥

NEVER GIVE UP! I've found many useless tutorials in my time surrounding blender but by far is he the most patient and in-depth teacher. if you make mistakes just rewind and undo to a point where you're on the same page as the vid and go again.
Learning from a very small village of India. This guy is literally my Guru.
why is it always india
It doesn't have to be India all the time, I also learn from Turkey. ;)
But it may be that India's population is really high (1.5 billion)
Turkey's population is 85 million. So you don't need to be surprised, normal 😁
im learning from Venezuela xd
im learning from the Netherlands
@@gavyndadog9498 And why being in a very small village matters this much? lol
16:04 the one that works in my scenario is Hold Shift+ Double Left Click to the edge
Thank you! Was wondering how to do this.
Thanks bro
Thank youu!!
When this dropped yesterday every 3D artist known to man grabbed the popcorn and strapped in for some viewing pleasure! BLENDER GURU 4 LYFFFFFFFFFFFFF!
P.S would LOVE more intermediate level tutorials :)
We'll see if I can push through or decide to carry on this possible skill to the future lengths, but it's nice to see someone out there putting decent educational tutorials for beginners without it being sectioned behind a obnoxious paywall. I appreciate the thorough and well thought out nature of these lessons, it's really carrying my motivation for this medium right now lmao
Bro this is acually the best blender tutorial i’ve seen. You just go so slow and talk about everything like its so nice W video🔥
My first time ever using Blender and you're making it so easy. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for updating this tutorial for 4.x Andrew. You’re a star.
He is the whole Moon... 😝
Thank you very much for the tutorials! Nice to see someone who does what he likes and shares it with others.
Learning 3D for fun and WOW these are good tutorials. It's people like you that make so many forms of art easy and accessible to learn. thank you so much for this!
I've been dabbling in 3d for too many years to count. I created and animated an Eagle Transporter from Space 1999 in Povray when there was no graphical front end, you had to code the shapes, distortion and movement in a text file. I played with the Blender Game Engine a few years back, throwing balls at a wall and dropping rain into puddles. Now I'm back and starting from square 1. Thanks for starting your series again for v4. I'm really looking forward to getting some great results. And when I make it to Hollywood I promise to put a donut in my first movie! 😁👍
I'm working in 3D field for 20 years, but I love following that tutorial like I never used a 3D software before ❤
Hot key for proportional editing is “o”, and you can also change different formats of fall off by clicking the dropdown.
O shortcut for proportional editing mode and SHIFT+O for the Falloff type of the proportional editing mode
Bro do u think 3d world would be robbed by ai?
@@18th_angelo Yup
thank you! I was wondering why it was not working
Hi! I cannot get Smooth/Flat shade property through right click as Blender Guru told us. Whenever I do right_click, the donut gets unselected and no property appears. Would you be able to guide me about it?
I’m working on making my first donut now, but I gotta say, those last 40 seconds or so was the most valuable part thus far. It is a steep learning curve and we are in the middle of it and it does seem very foreign, but it’s been fun. Thank you thus far and thank you for the encouragement too.
Sir, you are the Bob Ross of 3d Modeling. One can learn a lot from you but you also have calming voice, on top of the fact you support your watchers. "so what it looks different than mine, we are all on the fly here" its akin to his Happy little accidents.
Thanks! Really enjoy these videos and how easy they are to follow. Informative and entertaining. Love that you took the time to do an update from Blender 3 to v4. Truly awesome!
Absolute CHAD!
CONGRATS!!!
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!
NEVER GIVE UP! YOU CAN DO IT!
we are the senior veterans of 3d cgi.
I only give up because he hasn't released all the parts at the same time 😂
but if you feel tierd you should tkae one day off and then comback you will fell refreshed and alot better in your preformance
Never Give up plus ur under a professional CGI creator who is extremely amazing as a guide to ur Success. Well, I'm also learning with him
Great News! I just made a donut-oid in Blender 4.0 !!! I've just watched previous versions of the donut tutorials but now I did it ... finally. So far so good!
Now I'm saving a link to the playlist and wait for more! :D
Mans out here being genuinely SUPER helpful *and* encouraging dumpster diving. ++Respect.
GUYS Loop select is now "Shift + Double Left Click" and not "Alt + Left Click" (Pin this!!!)
Thank you so much 🤜🤛
Thanks man
Still alt + left click on 4.2 🤔
thanks man, it wasnt happening for me, i searched google; didnt get it, so I ended up manually doing the whole thing
Thanks
"Proportional Editing" was hard to find at first, but I easily found it once I realized your menu is all kind of smashed together at the header (at least compared to mine). I found it located more in the upper center of the window rather than the upper right. Just thought I'd say something, in case others struggled to find it like me :) This is excellent content by the way! Thank you Andrew!
You helped me a lot.
Figured out you can also toggle it by pressing O
THANKS!!

I think you'll find that blend is indeed a word. 😉
I did the full series a couple of iterations ago, and I'm doing it again because they're great!
Petition to change the official Blender file extension to ".blende". 🥸
I just finished part 1 and now part 2 is up didn't have to wait! 🙌
Good luck!!!
Don't give up when you see that the tutorial series is long. You'll the necessary skills you need to make whatever you need. Best of luck to you!

your video is way better than my 16-day-Blender-course which I totally wasted my money on and I didn't even understand 60% of what I learned from that course. But your video is absolutely easily-understanding!!! Very helpful!! Please keep it up!! Thanks you so so much!!. I should've gone through here earlier.
I have to say, even if im chinese, not so good at English and didn't know Blender at all before watching all this, im able to understand Guru's videos for 100% , thank you very much for such a high-level, excellent, professional tutorial!🔥
Whoo! Part 2! 👍

Taurus? You mean Torus?
@@geminiRA Yes it was a mistake
12:26 didn't get that 😅 can you explain more about 😅
where are options? I don't see anything there.
@@coolkid006did you find out? I can’t find the bottom left options either on mac 😭😭😭
Good look to everyone who just started! Keep at it! If you manage to reach the end of the donut series, a whole new world awaits you!
Pro tip: Don't forget to save often!
In only 30 mins I managed to learn so much that I feel I had some sort of grip into the software and I was totally blank!!!
You gained a new subscriber and I will watch more and more of your amazing videos!
Thanks again
These tutorials are awesome. Thank you for taking the time to put these together. It has definitely made the process of learning less overwhelming!
10:50 bro defeated all the nerds out here... "um actually... it's called vertex if it is singular" 🤓🤓🤓☝☝☝
I'm using a macbook pro to do this.. found out that at 16:00 he uses alt click to select the circumfrence. I don't have alt haha turns out double clicking did the trick
"Things that are too perfect, just look fake" thanks for that guru
I would just like to say, this is the most helpful thing ever. I am really into animating, always have been - with simple lego figures and stop motion but ofc I've wanted to move on from that. I have had a go with Blender before but I haven't for the life of me figured it out. Just watching the first video, I've already got the controls and basics. Thank you.
Thank you for making this so easy. I avoided blender for years because it looked really complicated. I'm so happy I took the plunge because I'm really enjoying it! 🤩
1:12 can someone please help me I cant find the little box.
Same bruh
Just watch the video bruh
@@Uqwya51 Bro I don't see the box on my screen. Im not stupid.
@@leokarasoviaif you continue watching you’ll see him explain the box. delete your donut then add a new one. immediately use the box afterwards, dont click anything else and it shouldn’t disappear
@@cronchynoodles3168 thx
And so it begins
yo dude how is it going, achieved something yet?
Doing the right click is not working for me because i don't have a mouse what i'm supposed to do i'm talkng about 3:51
right underneath the layout tab is the word object. If you click it with in that list you can find it
@@aroaceusopp thank you I got stuck as I couldn't figure out how he selected the object, he only says right click and it works, though I'm finding f9 and f12 doesn't seem to work for my laptop
Buy a mouse?! I know it’s an asshole answer but seriously $5 is worth it if you’re even little bit serious about making your own life easier!
You're the Brackeys of Blender ... or should I say, Brackeys is the "Blender Guru" of Unity ! Man you're awesome, your way to transmit knowledge is precious. Thanks so much.
thank you, for taking the time out to do this series, I really appreciate it some tutorials go quick over the hot key but with you its broken down at a beginner level
just me watching this for my 29th donut attempt
at 3:15 right click wasn't bring up the specials menu, I don't know why this happened to me but I found the short cut to help. Pressing W will bring the menu up, from there you can click smooth shading or D to shade smooth. if anyone knows why right click doesn't work for me and how to fix it, i would be grateful
This comment helped me out, thank you.
Thank you so much! I was already in tears😩
OMG TYSMMM IDK WHY IT DIDNT WORK
Português
Finalmente vou ter a chance de seguir esse famoso tutorial junto com todo mundo! o antigo eu fiz inteiro, amém!
In case someone runs into the proportional edit moving the whole object instead of deforming it problem, you simple have to scroll up with the scroll wheel, that's because you made the grey ring too big, this way it gets smaller, achieving the desired deforming effect. Great video!!
I tried to learn by your tutorials 2 years ago and absolutely hated it. But now after using Fusion 360 and Solidworks for modelling some time it is actually ridiculously easy to understand what you are talking about. The hardest thing is getting familiarized with 3d software
I got a problem, that if I want to select the edges (like in the minute 16:08) I can't do it. What the problem was is, that "Emulate 3 Button Mouse" was on. Only if that one is off, you can select that edges by pressing "alt+left_click".
I hope I could help those, who also got that problem.
i got this problem too, is there any way i could do it without turning off emulate 3 button mouse?
It’s not on in mine and I still can’t do it!!
I cant find the button he's refering to 1:11
me neither
just delete it and add a new torus and it should pop up
@@cadell.vthank you!
@@cadell.vthank youu
just watch 20 sec more :) i did same mistake
trying to pull the ultimate nerd move and learn how to 3d model in under 3 days for a group project and this series is amazing, love it so much. And i have a presentation in a few months about warplanes, gonna be sooooooo helpful, keep up the great work man!
This channel is honestly amazing, I learned how to use Blender 3.0 through the last donut tutorial but sadly gave up on it for a few years. Glad to see a new version's out with the same great channel making my favorite tutorial to follow when getting back into Blender!
Hi if anyone is having issues and can’t select the circumference with ALT use SHIFT key and double click in the middle of the edge at 15:20 portion
15:58 you can also just double click
Omg thanks it wasn’t working
13:40 : I have a problem.
My Propotionnal Editing is on : ON, but when i press "G" i grab my donut and the donut move, and i can't see the circle. Anyone can help me ? :)
I have the same problem
Scroll down
You have to click on the "O" first before clicking on the G
Hey did you solved your problem can u tell me how
@@Animiting Scroll down until you can see the circle
Thank you for your amazing tutorials! They have been incredibly helpful in learning Blender. Your clear explanations and engaging style make complex topics easy to understand. Keep up the great work!
Great tutorials, coming back to 3D sculpting after a couple of decades and these vids are just the ticket
When I press F9 key, that radius and dimension window doesn't appear. I don't know why...😰
It nay be because you made edits to it.
the erm acthually meme reference 😭😭😭
15:47, alt+click didnt work. Double click did
At 16:00 if you’re stuck on edge select you might be struggling with your preference setting from the previous video. What worked for me was disabling the “Emulate the 3 button mouse” in input preferences. Now followed the steps he said and the edge of the donut and all the edges in that row should be selected in that row.
I was in college back when Pixar was first touting its 3D stuff with Luxo Jr & Tin Toy. One of my friends was in Computer Science back then & was touting all the "3D artwork" he was able to do by entering what looked like a ton of numbers & code. I knew BASIC and some DOS, but I was also into drawing & painting -- all the work my friend was putting into 3D was really counterintuitive & "left-brain"ish, not the way the artists I knew worked at all. And everything since then just seemed to take 3D & computer art out of everyone's hands and keep it firmly in the hands of only those who could afford the fancy expensive software & machines.
Realizing that we finally hit the point where we can put the intuitive hands-on work back into the hands of artists and not just coders is a huge relief. Making it available for EVERYONE to afford, instead of those with the $$$ is a huge high.
You teach brilliantly. Pace, appropriateness, some necessary repetition. No sense of superiority. Really good. Many thanks!
Y’all me and my bro be fallowing this cours with the most trash pc and everything we do we’re like "gasp" "IT DIDNT CRASH!!"🤣🤣
Man I feel you. Always the small victories 🤣
@ 0:45 i dont see "Add Torus" at the bottom left can somebody help me?
Hey hope you found it. If you haven’t, delete the Torus and add a new one. The ‘Add Torus’ option will be there. (Or press F9)
I found the ‘Add Torus’ option disappears once you deselect your Torus after adding it. He explains it in the video too.
i dont get the add torus option for some reason
Same, 1 minute in and I’m stumped
Hey go to , Add >Mesh > torus again and you will find that option
@@frameowlstudio2543 thanks! Yeah just found that out later
click f9, it will get it back. also you can only get at first, and if you exit the shape, you lose it, and cant reacess it unless you press f9
Double Click the object and then press f9
I legit panicked for a hot minute about my donut disappearing and nearly cried from relief when you mentioned how that issue works.
Thanks so much for these tutorials! I'm diving back into blender after not using it since high school, and wow! I think I learned more watching your videos than in a whole semester of HS. Thanks so much!
1:17 I DONT HAVE THE BOX
make a new torus
@@antillitythanks man😊
I DON'T HAVE THE ADD TORUS THING
ME NEITHER IM SCARED
wait i figured it out. you have to o add the torus using the shift + a hotkey

guys please... get a mouse! :P
Did these wayyy back (thank you for the excellent tutorials) and then didn't touch Blender for a while. Running through them again.
***If you're looking for Proportional Editing and it's not in the top right. The current version of Blender (fresh install for me today) has it in the top center. Looks exactly the same as on his screen, just slide your eyes left and click the circle-dot-target icon. Let's go!
man this tutorial shows how comfortable you are with the blender xD good job and thank you for the knowledge pour into our heads !
Actually, it's called "vertex" if it is singular...
