Have you noticed any struggles going from 2.8 to 3.0? Going from 2.79 to 2.8 was huge but 2.9 and 3.0 didn't really feel like a big change. Am I missing something or are all the steps pretty much the same so far?

[@AlexBrucki]

@@pismodude2 ya when I followed along the old tutorial on 3.1 I just had the different UI to deal with and there are a few more options here and there to navigate that made me feel like I was in the wrong menu. Cycles rendering all at once instead of by squares also tripped me up. I thought I had my GPU setting set incorrectly but it was smoooooth sailing for the most part. He did mention how geometry nodes could eliminate the sprinkle meshes from crashing into each other and that was something I really wanted to learn after but then this tutorial revamp came out so I am really excited to see if it is mentioned here so I can compare the old workflow to the new workflow 1:1

Around 12:00 If your extrusion drips are squared off at the bottom, you didn't add back a subdivision modifier. Also hit S after extruding and shrink (scale) the end to make it more rounded "drip" like. To select multiple vertices hold shift then Left Click on more than one or drag selection box. At 14:50 he's hitting alt and clicking on an outer ring of the dougnut to select all the way around it. Then adjusting his proportional editing using mouse wheel to affect the proper amount from top to bottom. Then S to scale it inwards all the way around by moving mouse. Then left click to finish.

[@asquarem2]

*NOTE:* For everyone struggling to find the same set of snapping options as at 4:22, I've found a solution: In the "Snap To" menu, you should see 2 options, namely: "Face Nearest" and "Face Project". Shift+Click on both of these, and you will now see the "Project Individual Elements" option as well, as opposed to only selecting "Face Nearest". Project Individual elements will allow all vertices in the Proportional Falloff circle will snap to the Donut faces underneath. P. S. Despite all of this, you may notice the Icing faces still overlapping with the Donut faces, it's fine as long as your vertices are still snapping, because when you re-enable the Solidify modifier for your viewport and go back to "Object Mode", you will see that the icing still looks like it's properly resting atop the Donut top.

[@NicTheGreyPainter]

For anyone having the clipping issue with the icing (even with project individual elements) The workaround I've found is making the icing thicker within the solidify panel i'm not sure if that's what's causing it but it has gotten rid of the clipping effect. I hope this helps!

[@Merlinksz]

Also make sure your offset in Solidify is set to 1.0!!!

[@E1ev1n]

For me just grabing the vertices and pressing G then moving them up along the z axis in the dip worked well for me to pull them out and get rid of the weird spots.

[@mayankdate]

In my case I also turned on 'Backface culling' in the snap menu which seemed to eliminate some of the clipping. Not sure how that's related but it seemed to help.

after doing the first 3 parts and getting halfway through this one pretty late at night, i decided to go to bed. while pulling my blanket over me i suddenly realized that the same method you teach us to make the icing could also be used as a first set of steps in making clothing for character models! i had the whole lightbulb moment where all the pieces just fit together. i am glad i took the advice of your seminar on how to improve as an artist because if i had just kept powering through instead of taking a break i might not have made that connection for later! i am nowhere near making character models (yet!) but when i get there i already know how to start the clothes. and it is all thanks you and your donuts! XD thanks Blender Guru!

[@weakamna]

This is as far as I've seen from other tutorials a very common way to do clothes on models. Just select, duplicate, scale, solidify

[@kspayton]

@@weakamna i figured that lol. i was pointing out that his tutorials teach us the tools well enough to not have to be told that in another tutorial. he teaches us enough about the tools to have these ideas ourselves. which makes him a good teacher. :)

[@deadweight4887]

3:47 I think that depending on how much you edited your Donut vertices at the end of Part 2 you have to increase your thickness accordingly otherwise the icing mesh will just go inside the donut. I was nearly giving up because the meshes weren't snapping no matter what. What worked for me after 2 hours was selecting "Face Nearest" with everything unchecked but "include non-edited" and "snap to the same target", and then increasing the thickness of the solidify modifier.

At 8:30 if you have the icing mesh clipping through the donut mesh after subdividing, make sure you have the icing mesh selected in the scene collection and in edit mode press A to select all the vertices, press G to grab them, and as soon as you do you’ll see the entire icing mesh snap to the donut surface correctly. Press ENTER. Make sure you don’t move your mouse after pressing G to grab. Just hit ENTER right after. Worked for me. I’m on Blender 3.5 by the way.

[@RizingZeppelin]

Quick Tip for Anyone stuck at EXTRUDE at 10:12. I had "Face Nearest" set for my snapping and every time I tried to extrude the mesh would kind of fold in on itself instead of travel down the side of the donut. I switched snapping to "Face Project" and extrude worked exactly like you see in the video. If there's anyone out there that can explain the differences Face Project and Face Nearest, that'd be great. Always good to understand the intent of an option so you know how to apply it.

For anyone watching as recently as me, the 3.6 version of blender is slightly different when it comes to snapping to Face like he does at 4:44 ish. On the version he uses in the video there is only one option for Face and in the 3.6 version there is Face Project and Face Nearest. I'm no expert, so i have no clue what the difference is, but i got my snapping to work how his did in the tutorial by shift selecting both Face Nearest and Face Project and checking the boxes for Project Individual Elements and Snap to Same Target. I just needed to do some minor adjusting of the shape of the donut under the icing to fix some minor clipping that this didn't avoid, but this method was the closest i could figure out to what he did. Let me know if there's a more correct r exact way to stop all that clipping in the 3.6 version!!

[@Tenshii_Artii]

You might not see this, but i am speaking from the bottom of my heart. When i was in Uni a couple of years ago, i always thought i wanted to do 3D. It was such wishful thinking, that i was actually not prepared to experience the full processes of getting into 3D. Meshes, Textures, UV unwrapping. I had to use Maya, which was sort of a struggling experience for me (Don't get me wrong, Maya can be good!). Also chalked up to the fact that for some reason, i don't 'Get' things right away until much later. Because of Maya, I actually still struggle trying to understand UV unwrapping, which sadly, is something i should have picked up on. Then they made us use the older version of Blender. Which actually made me turn off from the program as a whole. So when i had to take 3d animation classes for the second time, i decided to try brave myself and out Blender. And the first thing that comes up as a beginner Tutorial? It was your first Donut Tutorial. It did take a while for me to get used to it. But one day, suddenly it all clicked for me. I don't know how, but i was able to model various things, and the concept of Texture painting was MUCH more fun than with my experience in Maya! I am still learning more on how to get better. But i was able to use Blender to create backgrounds for a Manga project i had to work on in my last Semester. And now? I'll be graduating soon! Sorry for the super long post. But i just thought i should share you my journey. There was something about your tutorials that seriously pulled me in, wanting to learn more. So Thank you Blender Guru! You made me to not completely give up 3D modelling!

Once you go through that course you'll know everything there is to know about rigging in Blender.

15:20 If the shrinkwrap "failed adding value" make sure you used it for the icing and not for the donut. The two mesh have their own modifier handling (top right you can switch cam, donut, icing and light) you have to switch to icing and then use the shrinkwrap. It's kinda obvious, but I had a problem with it, took some minutes to figure it out. Have a nice journey!

[@Visamexicana]

For those stuck in the EXTRUSION part. I spent like two hours of frustration, I extruded and the edge and it was overlapping, it also did not let me pull the edge downwards. I believe there is a bug but if you toggle on/off the "grab" (G key-shortcut) and make the size smaller or larger it fix the problem and the extrusion becomes "unstuck".. also switching between edit and object mode seems to help. I also have the "face project and face nearest" selected (use shift so select both options).

After this video its off to bed and I'll see you in the morning!

[@adamentainium8956]

I didnt finish the first donut tutorial too long ago, it was about a month ago and then I did my own project of a brownie to see what I could do. I also had 2 other failed attempts at completing the donut tutorial a few years back. But now I can watch these to make sure i actually remember everything I should and learn how Blender 3 is different. You are so legendary for delivering these so quickly.

[@kmsur1]

For those who are struggling with the clipping icing in version 3.3.1: If you snapped with face project/closest/include non-edited/project individual elements setup, the issue is probably not the snapping part. I guess snapping guarantees that the points you manipulate in edit mode sticks to the surface beneath it, but it does not guarantee anything about the faces formed by the points. Therefore, as long as you see the black points on the surface of the donut after snapping+moving, your snap tool is doing its job. The way you prevent the icing from clipping donut is by making the icing thick enough, so that even if it clips a bit, the thick volume still covers the surface of the donut. Therefore, I believe the problem is actually on the solidify modifier. The offset of solidify modifer determines whether the thick volume generated by the modifier sticks to the 'inside' or the 'outside' of the original mesh, which is quite ambiguous. That is, with one of the offsets -1 and 1, you would get an icing that grows towards the inside of the donut based on the thickness value, and with the other offset you would have the thickness growing outward(which is what you desire), but you don't really know which one is which. If you tried exactly the same values for solidify modifier as appeared in part 3 of the tutorial, but it didn't look as is, then probably, for whatever reason, your orientation of 'inside' and 'outside' is different from what's on the video. In this case, if you set the offset to -1 instead, you would get something more similar to the video. You can now try snapping again, and also try modifying the thickness value as needed, since I believe it wouldn't cause any problem besides making your donut look unhealthier. Please note that I am just a beginner, so there might be errors in this comment. It would be great if someone with more experience can confirm this.

[@Hevno]

my man you ae legend thank you i increased the thickness from 001 to 002 and it fixd the problem

[@davios]

thanks for your time man, this helped 🥰

[@asquarem2]

Also, in the "Snap To" menu, you should see 2 options, namely: "Face Nearest" and "Face Project". Shift-Click on both of these, and you will now see the "Project Individual Elements" option as well, as opposed to only selecting "Face Nearest". Project Individual Elements will allow all vertices in the Proportional Falloff circle will snap to the Donut faces underneath, essentially helping achieve what he's doing in this tutorial. Despite all of this, you may notice the Icing faces still overlapping with the Donut faces, it's fine as long as your vertices are still snapping, because when you re-enable the Solidify modifier for your viewport and go back to "Object Mode", you will see that the icing still looks like it's properly resting atop the Donut top. Mess with the thickness/offset a bit to achieve more desirable results if it's still bothering you.

[@chrisstevens3801]

THANK YOU!!! You're a lifesaver. Great explanation. My Offset at 1.000 seemed fine. Or at least it got really bad when I inverted it. But boosting my thickness substantially fixed the problem.

[@nealwrobel6676]

This technique worked perfectly, thank you. I changed the offset to -1 and used the following snap settings: Face Nearest : Include Non-Edited : Snap to Same Target : Face Nearest Steps (1) : Move. These were the only snapping options that I had selected. 'Face Project' was not required. My Solidify thickness was at .002m.

[@SimLicy]

For anyone noticing a clipping issue even after clicking the snap tool I found that I needed to leave the solidify modifier set to -1 instead of 1 not sure why this would be the case but I hope it helps.

[@SimLicy]

Ran into a few other issue and decided to start over. I reset the settings to the default settings and that fixed the offset issue… I am not sure how I changed that but apparently I did.

[@jarettwoodard3887]

I noticed a clipping issue and realized that I didn't have it sized correctly. I was sizing through the initial "Add Taurus" menu with the major/minor radius values. This made the overall size too large, so when I added the solidify modifier at .002 m thick, it was clipping. I scaled it to around .1 m on the x and y axes instead using the instructions a few videos back (press N) and that resolved most of the clipping issues. Just tossing that out there in case I'm not the only one who's restarted this about 10 times and forgot that one step.

Likely reason - if it's happening to you did you choose different donut sizes at the start? - it's natural consequence of trying to stretch it so I guess different size faces have different amounts you can drag before stuff breaks if you look at his 2.8 tutorial you can see the problem happening to him there too, it just is that way, he uses the extrusion tool there to create extra lines to drag down so there's extra material to drag instead

Video production tip to those making tutorials in Blender 3.0.0: The new default theme introduces a vignette effect to the background of the 3D viewport. Blender uses dithering to smooth out the color banding; however, video compression eliminates the dithering, and thus, the color banding returns. You may wish to disable this option, if you don't like how it looks in your videos for KZbin. Preferences -> Themes -> 3D Viewport -> Theme Space (way at the bottom) -> Gradient Colors -> Background Type : set to Single Color (On a separate note, some users have complained that the dithering of the vignette leads to flickering on their display. Those users should also disable this feature.)

Dear Blender guru or whomever is reading this from blender team. Please help shed some light on the snapping topic. It seems that even with the lastest rev (3.4) there is still a lot of issues/confusion with the snapping functionality. Snapping seems to work great for flat like shapes (cubes, etc), however, in the donut example this is not the case. Lots of users including myself, expect the secondary snapped object's vertices (the icing) to remain ontop of the primary objects (donut body) surface/vertices when performing edits, this has not been the case for one reason or another. It's a bit frustrating because there is a large number of users that have spent hours trying to find a work around etc. If it's user error, please provide us with the proper method to clarify confusion. If it's not user error, what are the chances of adding a feature that can simplify this process or is more user friendly. I am seriously starting to have SNAPPING nightmares at this point lmao.

For everyone that has tried to fix the clipping, check your scale for the donut and icing and thickness. Make sure your scale is at 1. I thought mine was at 1 and it was clipping and then i noticed my scaling was off. So change them to 1 and click the little locks next to them so they dont go back. Hope this helps

Reference is one of those universal truths. I'm an audio engineer and it is absolutely essential to reference other tracks when mixing and mastering. You see it everywhere in creative spheres. Reference, reference, reference!

If the Alt+Left Click to select Edge Loop didn't work for you at 14:39, you can just select two adjacent vertices and then actually go to the Select tab near the top left, then go to Select Loops and then Edge Loops

life saver

[@hollykapsimalis1521]

thank you!

[@ZenRelax20]

ohhh thank you, it's so helpful.

[@seferoz3515]

thank sir

[@yourgothfriend]

@Bingus the funni i just figured it out, finally, it's option + double click on a point

[@spamdotorg]

thank you everyone in the comments for helping baker's note: doughnut batter is buoyant in oil, so after frying both sides, what you see in the middle is batter that didn't form a crust becuase it wasn't submerged in oil. happy blending! (:

[@Aleczanderm]

its year 2082 and Blender Guru just release blender 12.0 donut tutorial. We can now make a dozen of donuts

[@AnaLuizaSpeda]

If anyone is having trouble with the snaping part, check if in the snap options at the bottom is marked Affect: Move. I know it's a simple thing, but I was having trouble with snaping for about 1 hour and now it's solved!

[@ehthn]

What the heck. I've been struggling for 20min to get it to work. Tried a bunch of different tips from commenters and this is the one that worked. Thanks!!

[@Erebus_official]

6 Days to be exact until now TT

[@ScouseDronePilot]

Anyone having issues with clipping of the icing slightly increase the thickness and increase the icing offset to 1, I believe there maybe a bug with the snap tool.

[@andrii.t]

Increasing the thikness has hepled

[@Moonalyn]

thank u sm this helped me a lot!!

[@minay6829]

thank you sir

[@funnycomedy-d7p]

i tried that but mine didnt work.

[@strawberryboy_x]

hit ctrl when grabbing

[@BrokenGlassesGaming]

In case anyone's wondering, the hotkey to select edge loops is shift+double click LMB *if* you have emulate 3 button mouse turned on as well as LMB to select turned on.

[@thecommon2172]

Thanks so much, I was a little bit lost.

[@robleblanc1760]

Yes was lost in this part. If you're on a Mac its option+double click LMB

[@ChadMichaelSimon]

Thank you. I was tracking with everything until he did that, and I'm like, "Waaaaait a minute here. What was THAT magic?"

[@NursissisticOfficial]

I love love LOVE your teaching style. Thank you so much for taking the time to make such a comprehensive tutorial series that is newbie friendly.

[@michaelmano7261]

I've watched these tutorials each time you release a new one, I'm now finally attempting them. - Love the intro to this one, viewership dropping XD

[@BlackUniGryphon]

OK! :D This is my 5th or 6th attempt at this. I usually screw up at THIS PART (#4). But I'm GETTING BETTER! If I make it THROUGH THIS PART, THIS TIME, I will post it! Woo-hoo!

[@jerameesikorski7519]

Good luck!

[@woah_x]

I’m doing the same thing right now I just gotta keep going lol

[@DoctorALLthat]

Pro tip! To make the 'seam' of the donut @ 14:50 look more realistic, add a loop cut above and below the edge loop you're scaling in. Play around with location of the loop cut and how far you scale the edge loop in.

[@gaylekakac313]

How did he select the center of the donut to push it in. He doesn't mention how he did that and just poof his was selected. I watched it like 10 times.

[@JoeWillyArt]

@@gaylekakac313 Are you on a Mac? I have seen other comments that helped me on my Mac. Option and double click to select a ring of vertices around the donut all at once which itself is a little tricky because you need to click on an empty space between vertices and often will grab a vertical band instead of a horizontal ring around the donut (maybe that happens after this in the tutorial- I haven't finished lol). Then you need to click S for scale which should then allow you to scale down that center ring to create that band- I think having another subdivision there would be good for me because I either get the shrunk ring above or below the middle but not on it. It is pretty confusing and I am not sure why pressing O was mentioned and it took me reading a bunch of different comments to come to this answer.

[@kelenokecco2849]

For anyone having issues with the shinkwrap at 15:37 it seems the modifier doesn't select the target automatically anymore. Change the target to be the donut and it'll replicate the video.

[@jupiter4723]

thank you 🙏u rly helped me out

[@fremder_the_band]

My god, I was banging my head, thx!

[@curtisslade1105]

I've used Maya and loved it! But as someone who's no longer doing this professionally, Blender is amazing and has come such a long way since first time i tried it (like 10yrs ago). For a non-professional just looking to create personal stuff, Blender is just the thing i was looking for! I miss working in Maya and Zbrush, and this is kind of the best of both worlds, but FREE! Love it.

[@pogie1987]

For those of us with multiple (3+) monitors who paused the video at 6:23 like I did, if you hold SHIFT while dragging to make a new View Area, you can make that View Area into a *seperate* window, where you can then put it on another monitor! A handy tip I hunted down haha.

[@MediocreEdit]

Guys...if you icing is coming out whacky and intersecting with original donut...increase the thickness of icing in solidify property under modifier properties. Make sure it's thick enough so no part intersects with original donut
