Being a 16 year old girl, you have just inspired me to continue my whole journey to blender. Instead of wasting my time on games or any social media, I will do my best to learn blender, starting today.
Do it for real, I'm 22 now. All I wish now is that I didn't waste all those years playing games. It has done absolutely nothing for me now. If I learned blender when I was 16 I'd had 7 years experience already and would have an amazing job. Instead it was spent being lazy and doing the bare minimum.
Make sure you post your material once you're confident enough with it!
@@kevinsouza5747 of course I will, once I've got some motivation.
Same! So far I've made a sword, and am working on a animatronic for a fnaf fan game!
"Instead of wasting my time on (normal fun thing everyone should do to take a break once in a while) I will sacrifice my life to work!"
You will get burnt out quickly and regret you lost your childhood. You'll learn more if you do it for fun
I'm 30 and this makes me feel like I wasted my teens playing WoW all day. Good stuff dude. 👏
WoW was so good though
I'm 40 think how I feel lol
I actually watch your vids sometimes, crazy
yup, me too. having PTSD here
If you enjoyed it then it is not wasted.
My Progression:
Beginning: Donut Tutorial
Today: rotating cube and some failed projects
My start: T O R S O
I’m two years into making this donut 😂
hehe.. just started today with the burning monkey and torso ;)
@Frust Frust- lol. thanks dude
I finished the donut and haven't gone back to blender since 💀 Maybe it's time for a comeback
Incredible that he's 14 years old doing this amazing stuff, keep going i'm sure that you'll have a brillant future!
Very surprising, why did I assume he's like 30+ 👽💀
i like knowing i am untalented for someone my age
@@ehtz u probably very talented, just need to discover what u like doing the most !! keep going my little bro we trust u
@@farry.editor Both are totally different. Blender is an animation/modelling software. Unreal engine is a game engine. It depends, do you want to make animations, or games?
@@neb6 wait what does this mean
Young man, your future is exceptionally bright!! Astonishing work. Well done indeed. I am an oldie at 44 with a DATA job and a family and recently opened up blender and stared at the screen like so many people do. I clicked a few things and concluded that I would be better of opening a bottle of wine and watching Netflix.... However, with intrigue, I got up the next day and once more opened up blender. I came across the donut course and within a few hours I had created a flippin donut!!! Didn't bother faffing with all the different sized sprinkles! I was so happy with it and realised that even at my age, I might be able to do something!! So now I have taken the leap to character modelling and whilst it is hard, the Topology is hell! I will succeed... So my point is that this young gun is going to be making an absolute killing doing something he enjoys..... It's never too late though as I reckon a year or two and there could be some sideline work for me too.
Didn't mean for this to go on longer than that lad's video.... Well done man!!!
I'm 66 and I have been using Blender for 18 months.
dont doubt yourself! with the internet at our fingertips this is the greatest time to try anything new :)
Good luck!
@@0zyris Seriously? That’s amazing. What made you want to?
wow great job man, id love to hear if youre still trying at it and see some of what youve made
HEY! it's almost a year later. How's the Blender progress!!???
crazy to think that everyone of these projects started with a gray cube
No
YEs
@@gamerweed6949 no we delete em and add other shapes
@@ramanujdash2505 ik bruh
Sadly I deleted them and prayed to god for forgiveness
Lol, I'm 12 and just started to learn blender... Gives me so much inspiration bro!
UPD: Thanks for all the wholesome comments, appreciate all of ya!
Good luck
I wish you luck on your journey
Same, I started last year but I'm still a noob. I still follow tutorials. Good luck, dont be like me😁
a suggestion: do not stuck on one thing for too long. keep going
@@hraialoysius2874 never give up
Dude this is so much more than just blender skills. That last clip of your latest work.. the composition, the lighting, color, sound design, music etc are all incredible. Truly a great artist on top of being wild with blender
copied but ok
I keep fucking rewatching this every day dude. Seriously, well done. The ending gets me every single time, even when I know it's coming. The last clip (film/commercial, really, that shit's professional quality) is SO well made! And then the outro!! jesus!
Inspiring and depressing at the same time.
@Mabel Pines *tips hat
From the video he made the donut render in June 2019,when Andrew (Blender Guru) finished the tutorial of just the donut only (no coffee cup and everything after that yet) on Sep 2019. Whether he's following other tutorials or maybe that's a wrong date.
@@link-kun5974 The current Blender donut tutorial series is a remake/update of an older one that Andrew did before the Blender UI changed. After the UI change the old tutorials were useless so Andrew updated them.
@T-51b Soldier Comparing it to my Blender progression.
@T-51b Soldier When you compare to him lol
Wow you learn fast! The volume of work you completed is seriously impressive. How many hours a day or week did you usually spend learning?
I made it mom! Andrew price was impressed by my work. So basically I tried to put all the hours a normal teen would waste playing video games and instead put that into blender, it actually resulted in a lot of progress. I’d say I have an average of like 5h of blender everyday
@@landgrenwilliam young brain can do wonders 🙂
you're here bcoz of the donut eh?? hehehhe kidding
@Lazy Buddy 123 good luck

Man, I need to stop playing video games.
I am becoming a physics teacher this year. So I have planned a year ago that i will try to teach Some difficult Physics topics by making animations and models of Various Concepts that are difficult to teach on the board. So i started learning blender 5 months ago and keep progressing by watching Blender Guru Donut Tutorials. Thanks to all the community of blender for providing this great 3d Software for free...
Great dedication man! We need more teachers like you

I’ve been following you for a little over a year. You are incredible! Learning this way about blender will spill over into every other area of your life. Determination and grit transfers easily. The way this experience will compound in your life… oh the places you’ll go.
You at 14: Makes professional art.
Me at 14: struggles with the default cube
He’s 14?? That’s actually insane
Me at 22 : have no life

@@kubilayh.1230 I'm going to be 21 this year and I'm the same 😭😭
14 y.o? I can imagine what you will do when you gain fundamental knowledge in physics, mathematics and other sciences in order to simulate the realistic behavior of machines and other things in your work. By the age of 18, your talent will surely be noticed by large companies, I'm sure.
i agree, i wish you luck William!
is he goddamn 14 y.o, thats awsome.
what large companies?
@@tekiero animation companies for like animating
@Shane Hanlon For sure to create someone elses vision but with age comes experience that can be used to make deeper art. I dont disagree his stuff is incredible for his age and experience level but it'll only become better as he matures. We should let him bud a few more years before advocating for large businesses to abuse him for his talent haha but if someone wants to pay him for a project thats not something I'd argue with.
After all this time I still come here from time to time to replay your video and refill my inspiration levels.. thanks man for your existence, your dedication, your work and your courage to show it to the world, else you’d never have inspired so many of us to follow the good path
I kept going back to this video like 5 times yesterday and today because I cannot get enough of it! It's so interesting how much you can improve by putting in all those hours. I believe this is the best blender progression video out there.
Absolutely incredible, my dude! You never cease to amaze me.

This just shows people that everyone came from a start, a simple start and progressed and continued to make amazing things. Thanks for inspiring me.
With all the tutorials I've watched and the stuff I've learned I didn't find out about the donut until today after going down a rabbit hole of blender videos. You're an inspiration. I'm going to do the donut to get back into it then revisit everything I've ever done. Thanks for assisting in the reignition of my motivation.
i'm 20 and started my donut yesterday, this video made me even more excited to learn things in blender, i wanna be like this in 2 years i hope, thanks William!

The fact he's just 14 makes this video more incredible. Can't wait to see what he's gonna do with Blender in his 20s or 30s! Awesome job man. 👏
😂,
yeah im 15 and started blender in mid 2019 in attempt to switch from intros aka spinning text but failed for a while. then came back to see i somehow improved and then saw this and this makes me want to givw up on my entire vfx artist dream
@@noisemap4341 Dude, everyone learns different and in different speed. When you have fun doing stuff with Blender, do it and don`t compare you to others, Art takes time and should be fun. The dude that made this Videos has crazy skills, but he also just started with a Donut. Learn in your velocity and do it good not fast, then sooner or later you get good at it. A la `When there is a willl, there is a way`
Not really, im 14, and sooo many teens are underestimated, no one thought that I would be able to create cool projects after only 2 years of development. Although it is impressive, this has nothing to do with age.
I mean, I'm 16 and if I had a better computer I'd do awesome things, I know that
OMG you are so impressive!! All your diligence and time paid off after years!! I love all your projects!! they are mindblowing
Man your journey is insane! I do blender for 3 years now and its impressive how you really get to the filmic look many artist fail to achieve in a significantly longer period of time! greetings from germany and keep it up!

This is so inspirational! I learned some Blender basics back in 2014 then I forgot all of it, decided to start again in 2022, just started following Blender Guru’s donut series! Your video shows not only talent, but also skill, dedication, determination, creativity, patience, and real hard work! Respect for you, man! This was more impressive than most of the visuals I’ve seen in recent films. Keep up the great work! I hope to become as dedicated and skillful as you in time!
This is absolutely INCREDIBLE! Amazing how some of us started with the donut. I won't be working as a 3D artist today if I didn't click on Blender Guru's beginner donut tutorial.
This is so fucking inspiring that want me to start learning blender once and for all
me too mate
INSANE!!
Dude! I used to watch all of your videos before blender, such an honor
Truely an inspiration. I just got start with blender during my holiday. This gave me more motivation to learn blender. You work is out of this world. Keep it up.
Dude, this was amazing to sit down and watch your progress as you kept learning new things.
My skill progression:
2019:nothing
2020:still nothing
2021:started thinking to do something,but still nothing
End of 2021:absolute nothing
2022: after 8 months this comment was written,i have only just done the donut...
2023: made a honda civic, somewhat good progress for me
2024: redone the donut, i still have 11 months to make something else in 2024
TRy to do a house in 1 month, starting now
i recommend the donut tutorial
same here bruh 😂

Phenomenal! I started using blender last month. Watching your journey is very inspiring. Keep up the good work! 🙌🏼♥️
I come back to this video every so often for inspiration. Absolutely incredible work, I can't wait to see what you do next!
It’s supposed to be Jan 2021 😂
Yes we figure!
You did an amazing job on blender.
By the way I am a student. If you could check out my 3D Animation which I have done using a Smartphone. That would be Spectacular. Thanks sir.
keep it up bro 😏👍🔥
Hi, that's really inspiring! I'm actually going to start out with that same donut tutorial! (I just downloaded blender) My question is, what type of graphics card do you use to get these results? Or which one would you recommend to get a good workflow ?
you are soo good in blender that you just time traveled lol
It's hilarious that you've made more convincing looking CGI in Blender over your two years than most high budget movie studios have in the last decade 😂 great work 👌
now that's a stretch! It really is impressive what he did here but it's not perfect, especially that water simulation at the end would not pass in a high budget project. Regardless the kid has a future... but at the same time this industry is kinda ruthless... crazy hours, constant deadlines... it's brutal! one thing to do only the projects that you like and it's a totally different feeling when you have to do something you are told... that's a bit of a death wish for an artistic person... but luckily William here likes cars, so it just might be his thing that he will always love to do. Good luck!
Definitely better than emoji movie !
@@saysthemanbehindthemask I've seen a lot of movies and series way worse than that last car animation, that's for 100000% sure.
@@sebaba001 same
idk about movie quality, but I can agree these animations are better than most TV animations (though those are very limited on time)
Wow, you blow my mind man. Amazing projects that blew my mind from start to finish.. I'm definitely following you and want to see where you go.
OMG you’re so good! ❤ I’m 14 and started using Blender for the first time in the summer of ‘21 (hehe) and I can’t believe how you’ve succeeded with these renders. They are sooo good! 🎉
At the same time, I don’t put as much time into it as you do. Good job! ❤❤❤
"Started doing more advanced projects "Casually makes the whole blade runner. Crazy progress, man, super impressive.
ахвхыахавхвахавх
What the fuck. I'm 26 and work in the VFX industry as a compositor. I wish I had spent as much time learning 3D/film/photography/comp etc as you are at your age. You rate of progression is actually insane. You have a really good eye for composition, lighting, colour , motion and the principles of photography. Have you done any photography or any other sort of art before learning Blender? I refuse to believe you picked all this up from scratch in two years. Maybe the Blender stuff, but your fundamentals knowledge? Nah man, you must come from a family of artists.
That’s what i thought lol
yeah, and with 5 month break? Whaa... Hard to believe.
Of course it all looks great, but wasn't most of these downloaded models and he just created some scenery to put objects into? Then making movements of objects and cameras. I don't want to sound mean, but is it that hard to do? I am a newbie as well, so I am asking seriously.
.
Dude has an rtx 2080 I could barely render a cube so I stopped
Great job! Everything was beautiful. The final creation of yours was amazing. I am learning too and will one day be like this no doubt. I hope you continue to prosper and develop with blender.
I'm literally having tears mate! I don't even know you but I feel some kind of love and pride! You are the embodiement of what I think is the purpose of life. I always wonder what I could've achieved if somebody taught me life when I was younger.. now that I've seen you I KNOW! I'm gonna show you to all the youngsters I know so they see what true life heroes are in these times of turbulence and depression! KEEP GOING AND ENJOY THE RIDE!

Meanwhile my lazy ass:
too lazy to describe how much lazy you are!
so relatable XD
Don't beat yourself up, I've been designing for decades in all kinds of applications (mostly for fun because it has been one of my oldest hobbies) and while we were limited by tools back in the day this much learning in this time is impressive for sure and definitely indicates that someone could very likely work in industry with these skills.

Dude I fricking love this it’s so inspiring I’m designing a car I’ve done it on paper but now I think I’m gonna try to do it on blender
I have no words….incredible. I can’t imagine the amount of time you have into all of this. Your eye for composition is unbelievable
I watch this like once a week for inspiration, amazing work man
As another 14 year old doing Blender, I feel very outdone
. But this does give me motivation to continue with my Blender skills!

My oldest son (19) is learning sculpting in Blender and came across your page. We're more into action figure creation, but what you're doing is just amazing!! Keep it up and we'll keep watching!!!
Duuuuude, you're my new hero I'm definitely following your work! So inspiring!!
"5 month break from blender."
I felt that.
Just started Wednesday. I think I've already improved a hell of a lot, and this is the motivation I need to keep going
Same here
That’s awesome dude! Best of luck
Amazing! Love seeing what you have accomplished. Please keep sharing I know I found it pretty inspirational.
You're doing a great job, man. I just want to say that you inspired me. Unfortunately, my English is not too good, but I think your future in 3D and motion-designer will be great. I was so happy when I found your channel. Ty
Wow you are so good. It has been 5 months for me and im still in 7th grade. I hope i can be as good as you! Just did my first successful motion track i am really excited with what i can do with blender
Wow, only 7th? Alright, keep learning blender. As much as you possibly can. Try making a piece everyday. By 12th you might just find a career in it if you learn consistently. Good luck dude!
bro same
r u my alt
Anyone else feel emotional with these? Yes? okay because man its crazy the feelings one can give you with a well-chosen soundtrack and a genuine journey to watch.
Wow! You're EXTREMELY talented. I literally kept saying the whole time "woooowww". You picked this up so quick. You're defs a natural at this. It takes most people YEARS to learn and do what you do and you did it in 2! Less than that really. Just wow. Amazing!
Mind-blowing. Fantastic work!!! You are a CG inspiration.
Amazing work!
This actually looks better than a lot of movies I've seen. Crazy. Someone needs to make him Art Director ASAP
It’s my first week I started learning blender, i hope one day learn like you 🙂 you’re amazing 🙌🏻🤙🏻
My man, you have no idea how inspiring this video is for a Blender newbie like me!
Started with a donut, turned into Ian Hubert.
Haha . That guy is insane and quick
Thanks for being an amazing inspiration!! Keep up the awesome work!
I just finished my first blender animation today (also the donut by blender guru) and this video gave me so much inspiration for further projects. Keep on the good work!
That's one of the most inspiring yt channels that I witnessed. I truly admire your videos, skills, and progress. Never thought of digital editing before, but now, maybe... For sure, I'm looking forward to your next productions!

But not gonna lie, you are a legend !
amazing man - your work is impressive! the last video awas spot on - visual story and picture and music was so lit
I rarely comment on RUclips, however this was absolutely brilliant to watch. Quite an amazing transformation. I also loved the diversity in the projects you were taking on. Great Stuff. Cheers.
As someone who procrastinates, this gave another layer to my depression, but seriously tho, jokes aside, u kept practicing and practicing, u were consistent with learning. That is very admirable to me, and you have a very very brilliant mind at such a young age, it's insane to me that you're 14, I'm 17 and I don't even know how to clap my hands properly lmao, Keep it up William :) U have a bright future ahead.
Same, it's very hard to do anything with mental illness, even tho you want to
figure out why you're procrastinating and it becomes easier to tackle things. make smaller tasks and checkpoints instead of being crushed by the weight of the future. the first step is the hardest but you already thinking/planning IS part of the first step. most importantly: have fun and don't compare your personal progress to others'
u still early and have long road ahead. Im 25 and yesterday im starting to follow the donut tutorial.
Everyone putting enough effort has a bright future . I'm 23 , yesterday started with the donut tutorial , finished today. I'm a web developer , I've worked as a mechanic and went to uni for some years as well. You know , not everyone finds his shit at 14. Also I didn't have that kind of money for a computer like that at 14 lmao.
William, I only can say Congratulations!
You've made an outstanding progress in such a short time. I'm 41yo. Have been with Blender for almost 4 years now and I don't even reach half of your level.
I think you've got a great future and wish you the best!
Congratulations again!
it called passion . i think u didn't make the right time to it
You mean you started to learn blender 4 years ago? At this time, did you have any skill on these kinds of software?
so so awesome man, your creativity its mind blowing! congrats
this is sickk! you are really a fast learner person. your progression is encouraged me :)
Thanks for the inspo
i can't imagine where you'll be in 10 years... just incredible work!!! so inspiring!!
I’m 13 and I’m starting my blender journey today. You really inspired me man. Thanks bro.
Really inspiring stuff man, I just started working with blender a bit ago. This got me hyped to learn
Thanks William. You helped me a lot even if you don't know. When I first installed Blender, I simply couldn't learn it and gave up. I didnt even bother to complete the donut tutorial. But after watching this video, and realising you were the same age as me, I gave Blender another try and guess what? I am also fairly good at blender now. So thanks a lot for making this video. Someday I also dream of having a progression video where Andrew would comment. Hope your channel grows fast.
Every time this comment gets a like, I get a chance to revisit this masterpiece!
I just imagine how much I would've missed if this video hadn't motivated me....
As a student, Blender is so very helpful in my daily projects...Thanks to it, all of my projects stand out...
You're tempting me to make a video showcasing my progress for the last two years of learning Blender, entirely soundtracked by sad trombone sound effects.
This is fantastic! Glad to have run across your channel/accounts courtesy of everyone hyping your Alternate Realities entry. The support is both real and earned.
This is amazing and inspiring!! You are a fantatsic artist in every sense, the latest project is spellbinding!
Man, you’ve made a really great job, your works are so impressive and this video makes me feel more motivated on my way of learning 3d. I am 15 and when I first time met some 3d stuff i was like “this looks like a job for me”. Thanks for posting this video and I wish you will get what you want. Hi from Russia
In summary:
Cars
Star Wars
Spiderman
Environment design
and more Cars

You forgot another pair of cars
Also, doughnut.
As an artist myself. I think this was most satisfying video on RUclips.
THIS IS REAL ART. I GOT ALL THE TIME GOOSEBUMPS. THANKS FOR THIS FEEILING
That's an incredible achievement, you should be extremely proud of what you've produced! Here's to a bright future!
Been doing 3D art for about 12 years now, 10 being professionally and I'm seriously impressed. Killer job dude, keep it up. You got my sub.
Hey I am interested in 3d modeling and already taking up classes in it. Is there a good pay in this field. I am from a middle class family in a 3rd world developing country. Its really hard to make decisions without considering the monetary part of the job. Is there a good pay?
You do lessons?
@@varunshah44334v The art industry is really ass in 3rd world countries, however great 3D is really valued in first-world countries, so they'll pay good money for it. The potential is almost limitless with 3D, you could go into almost any field with it like movie-making, games, advertising, etc. I suggest you practice and get good at it then go abroad to a first-world country for maximum income.
dude this is amazing, from the modelling to the composition, everything's been done so well!! you kinda got me into learning blender and rendering myself keep up the good work man!
This is so amazing to watch.
OMG! I’m starting as of today baking my first donut. Hopefully I can look back on my work in 2 years with as impressive work behind me as you. Looks awesome
How's your progression going my dude? Make sure you don't quit!
