You made it to part 3, great job! The icing is one of the most fun parts of the donut-building process. If you are struggling to get the vertices on the drippy parts right, take a step back, breathe, and start over on the icing if you need to. There’s no rush, and they don’t need to look perfect. Just take your time. It’ll turn out great!

[@Addijoshua]

No1 Quick tip at 09:15 for beginners. Kindly take note so that you dont run into issues. Modifiers are applied only in Object Mode. You cant do that in Edit mode so you should take note. How to move from Edit mode to Object mode, you hit Tab or you go to the top left side of your screen below the Blender icon row, You see Edit mode, click it and then a drop down appears then you select object mode, Then you can go ahead and apply the modifier at the modifier panel. Stay blessed No.2 You might find out that when you click and drag down, Your icing still goes through the donut's body and I faced similar issue. The reason is that you didnt select the tip of the icing at the middle part (Vertexes) To get around this problem. Toggle to X Ray mode. This is at the top right conor of your viewport on top of the axis gizmo or XYZ axis indicator. You see 2 boxes, and 3 globes. choose the 2 boxes icon so you can see the vertexes and you would immediately notice that you didnt select the middle vertex or the tip of the icing.

I just want you to know that I am an art student in college, pursuing an animation degree. My Illustration teacher actually recommended I watch your tutorials and learn blender since I am ahead of the class. This is to help me make a pub scene for an animatic I am working on, so that I don't have to be fussing around with perspective in the drawing process. This is so clear and easy to follow! I hear about Blender being a nightmare, and maybe it has something to do with me being an art student in college, but I actually find this to be less intimidating than I ever thought it would be thanks to you!

[@Colesia_EMA]

Good luck. I hope you can get something in the field straight out of college. I dropped out I've worked shitty job after shitty job. I've been lucky to work some in the movie industry but other than that, it's been a struggle. Keep it up and finish this thing as well as your pub scene. You got this!

[@LearningBees]

Thanks for another great tutorial! I have a few tips for people running into problems: 1. If the bottom edge of the icing is hidden inside the donut body, you can select the bottom edge to scale it up a little bit on x-y plane. 2. The key combintation to select more on my PC is control-numpad +, not control-+ 3. Some of my icing was clipped by donut body after I pulled down the bottom edge. I selected a vertex on icing, and used ALT-S with proximity editing to push it out to fix the clipping. I struggled a lot with the icing part in the previous version of this tutorial. This version is much better on a few details, I had far less trouble to follow along. Well done!

For those who are still having the issue with the icing going through the donut, I found a solution by clicking on the "Snap" menu and checking the "Project individual elements" box. I'm a beginner myself, so I don't fully understand how this checkbox works, but it did the trick for me. Good luck with your donut creations!

If there are ones still having problem even after this solution they may increase the thickness in the solidify at first if they did not. At least these two solved my problem and currently it works.

I've been using Blender on and off since 2018 and I've done all your Donut tutorials so far. I've modeled other stuff, this admittedly DOES become basic, but the less button presses you have to learn, the more you see why even basic scenes look great :) There's a lot to learn even if you've done it before :)

[@-_lIl_-]

Unlike many other tutorials that always either skip over crucial detail like how to even start editing the node, or always goes too slow and tells you each individual step like (move your mouse. Click on the left mouse button. Move away from the button.) etc, your ones are perfect. While some of the keybinds aren't the same as on my computer, a simple search easily fixes these problems.

Try Shrinkwrap modifier for the icing, in that way you don't need to apply Subdivision modifier and also if for some reason you want to do any change to the main donut the icing will follow

[@thebaotranphan7981]

Shrinkwrap is an advanced modifier, all these actions on the video are for beginners to understand and appl the 20% basic

[@Colesia_EMA]

I used Shrinkwrap after I did my extrusions. That had the best result for me after applying the Subdivision Surface modifier. That way I was guaranteed enough mesh to work with. Shrinkwrap kinda seals the deal and gives it that extra layer of Snapping I noticed. Similar to real Shrinkwrap when it's used to wrap something real tight.

It's funny to be back to watching Blender videos. It was one of the first software packages I learned several years ago when I was starting my 3D journey. I didn't stick with it because I was told that Maya was necessary to get a job in the industry. So, I learned Maya. Then, I got my first 3D job, which is where I still work now, and come to find out that the department uses 3DS Max. So, I Iearned Max. Now, Blender has received exponentially more updates and improvements than Maya and Max and is accepted in the industry. I'm tired of paying a lot of money on software subscriptions and dealing with rigid/limited functionality. So, now I'm learning Blender again, but with great gratitude for such organized and clear tutorials. Thank you for making these great videos and putting them out there for everyone to benefit from!

I started out learning Maya in high school, but Blender is great because it's free lol If I may ask, where do you work?

[@Panxho_.]

Hiii 😁 , If you are having trouble creating a wavy edge (at 13:05) and you do not have a mouse or are having trouble with your mouse wheel, you may notice that moving vertices affects everything. This is because the Proportional Editing Influence radius has not been decreased, causing everything to move by default. To fix this, simply use the mouse wheel (the most optimal method) or press Page Up to increase and Page Down to decrease the radius. Once you have done this, you can shape the icing as desired .

Something I learned from CG Fast Track Instead of duplicating with Shift + D Try using Ctrl + C to copy and Ctrl + V to paste your object in. This is good if your object has materials on it and you want to not only copy the object but it's exact materials as well. This method will guarantee that. If your mesh is still just a mesh though and you haven't put any materials on it or your copied objects, either method will work.

I started blender with the 3.0 tutorial just 2 months ago and finished after 2-3 weeks (it was hard lol). This new tutorial seems much simpler and easier imo. Very beginner friendly! Thank you so much for keeping us up to date with changes when new versions come out

[@Gelatin223]

I remember when I tried to do this last year, on the tutorial before this one. This is where I stopped, but I made it past this time! I'm going to finish my donut this time, no matter what.

[@pree3d]

thanks for part 3 Andrew, finished it and learnt this: duplicate: shift+D Renamne hotkey: F2 in 3D viewport chnage the viewport: TAB [Obj or Edit mode] Select a mesh wihtout losing the view of the otherside: toggle X-ray in top right : ALT+Z solidify modifier: add it and change offset to make the object appear solid [bigger] hide a object in edit mode by toggle option snap+proportional...= press G and pull a vertex, and use scroll to adjust the size, now you can change the object state with the mouse. objects getting intersected? add more geometry by clicking on obj and selecting the subdivsion modifier in obj mode and click on apply Alt+left click: on a vertex to select the entire group of connected vertices Ctrl+ and Ctrl- when a vertex selected: will increment more group of vertices H to Hide and Alt+H to unhide Thick and Rough looking model? add a subdivision surface modifier. Sharp looking object? change the crease in solidify. Solidify>Edge Data> Crease Inner

Alt and left click does nothing for me...can you advise please

welcome to the doughnut show! today we are learning how to make icing you can't eat!

[@lumberjacklucci3018]

If you find that the bottom of your icing mesh is hiding beneath the donut after editing a vertex, you can fix it by resnapping the entire outside bottom row of vertices to the face of the donut. You do this by Alt + Click a vertex on the bottom row which should select the entire ring. Then change your snapping to "Face nearest" once you edit it will snap to the closest face, which would by the outside of the donut on it's corresponding side. If you snap with "Face Project" it will take all the vertices and snap them towards the face you're looking at. Once you hit the edit button "G" everything will snap to the face accordingly and then you can left click to commit the snapping.

you're a lifesaver! Thank you

[@Karlush]

Modifying the Edge Data > Crease inner has no effect on the shape on the icing for me.. I'm on Blender v4.0.1

[@ChibiChunks]

Same for me, idk how to fix it other than maybe join the objects?

[@criscringle6627]

Same. Ever find a solution?

[@criscringle6627]

Nvm I think I figured it out. @15:48 -- For whatever reason, having that second "subdivion" modifier added, it then was able to make a difference when I changed the initial "solidify" modifier edge data.

[@pravinkatare615]

After watching it 5-6 times, was finally able to create one, excited for the next video

[@oscarfrancoisdesatonaka7217]

you have to duplicate it before perform that action

[@TornFromHell]

Ok so the only issue I’m having is the snapping to the face. I was able to get the parts that I adjust on the sides (the icing) and those areas would then snap to the doughnut but the rest is just kinda floating. So I would then have to go all the way around forcing each area to snap to the faces. Any suggestions are much appreciated. This is also only my 2nd day plz be nice everyone lol

[@duckymaster5904]

my icing isnt even snapping to the donut ;-;

[@TornFromHell]

@@duckymaster5904 did you try snapping it to the face before sculpting? I went back and redid my icing and started by snapping it to the doughnut and it seemed to work better for me

[@TornFromHell]

@@duckymaster5904 don’t give up tho mate!

[@Colesia_EMA]

Don't forget to apply your Subdivision Surface modifier. To do that, go to your Modifiers, click on the little arrow on the top right and hit "Apply" When you first copy and form your icing, it's not going to have a lot of vertices. If you apply your Subdivision Surface modifier to add more vertices, you'll have more mesh to work with and you'll notice you have more control. Don't give up. There's going to be a lot of instances where you spend 30 minutes to an hour finding out something stupid. It's all part of the process unfortunately. People like myself will do our best to help, but some things you just have to keep at it to figure out. I believe in you all.

[@TornFromHell]

@@Colesia_EMA a much more educated response here. Thank you 🙏

I'm bout to be so tired of looking at the same pink donut

[@BigFatMeanie1984]

Was doing well until it got to this icing stuff, now I want to bash my head against the wall. nothing you say works and every thing I click does the opposite of what yours does...

[@briefgraphics]

So much knowledgable content can't get enought of it.🥰

[@elvisartcrypto5757]

he teaches in different ways.. i thought he would follow same steps in making the icing... its amazing im learning some thing new

[@targetzero100]

I'm going to sound like I'm nitpicking, because I am. As a brand new user, I need meticulous explanation of things which isn't happening. You speak and move a little too fast and didn't explain the fact that as you add modifiers they stack up in the lower right hand window. Also, I'm not sure, but if you have a modifier like subdivision already assigned to an object, you can go back and scroll through the lower right hand window and find that Modifier and hit APPLY to add more subdivisions to that object, correct? Instead why can't you type in a new value for the amount of vertices if you want more? Hitting apply seems to be adding another instance of the same operation you've already done to the object. This app has non-destructive editing, correct?

[@aydenlivezey6762]

Bro needs a nap😂😂😂

[@aronhelios1734]

The modifiers are the non-destructive edit. They can be removed anytime by hiding from viewport or deleting them. If you apply them, you have changed you mesh in a permanent way. And they keep the file light, you don't want to have too many vertices.

I'm just starting out learning blender from your tutorial video! I can't wait to be able make donuts 😋

[@badhammermotorworks810]

I can't thank you enough for doing these tutorials for free. I desperately want to learn this skill so that I can create my own 28mm mini figures but my brain just doesn't brain properly any more. I had a mental breakdown at work years ago and they put it down to PTSD from Iraq. I have been bumming around not able to work since then because every time I try something I just fall flat on my ass again. Your course is really accessible and although I am still finding it incredibly hard to understand, I am able to go back and replay and slowly I think I might be able to actually enjoy doing this one day. Thank you very much!

[@Ryan-op2ng]

Thanks a lot I learned so many new stuff from you today a bit too much to handle all at once but I'm sure with time and practice it gets easier!

[@LivadaNiki]

I started learning Blender last year with your previous donut tutorial and now i'm actually having so much fun creatimg my own individual projects. Watching this tutorial as well because there is always something new to learn!
