The first video in the series has 825,035 views dated 23 Sept 2018, and now the final video in the series has only 78,780 views, that's a 9.5% graduation rate, what does that mean? It means we are the dedicated few to endure the entire journey that is so tough that 90% of the whole cohort dropped out! So congratulations! You made it to the very end and you truly deserved a pat on the back!

[@obedndubisi1491]

Haha. Thanks....quite encouraging

[@markbusch5907]

Cheers everyone

[@richardjohnson6531]

We did it boys! Thanks Andrew!

[@DrDemolition]

idk a lot of people dropped in the middle because they were outraged that the textures were behind a paywall

[@Faddyfeme]

@@DrDemolition even with textures available, I had problems with their visualisation and the anvil looked like a piece of cement (you understand I did all the same operations according to the tutorial). So, no sense to go further...

[@spirituser7354]

What I learned from this Anvil creation series, 1. How to use Boolean 2. How to use knife and loop cut properly 3. How to UV Unrap 4. What is normal map and how to make one and use one 5. How to use sculpting tools 6. How to combine high poly mesh with low poly mesh to get same quality of render but faster. 7. How to texture paint. 8. Some quick shortcuts to become a lazy artist. 9. How to make a great looking Anvil Thanks Andrew for this series, I hope your channel grow 10 times this year.

[@vlahedwarf5292]

i learned that my computer cant handle texture paint.

[@stickythestickfigue9548]

i lerned nothing cos i fallowed the donut series cos this is hard and donut easy

[@jeffersonadams8711]

I don't think I'll learn anything on step 4 because the normal mapping is so riddled with errors as the series is not in sync with the latest Blender version. A shame, as I was finally starting to love Blender, but the problems at step 4 are making me despise it. Hopefully Andrew releases an updated anvil video for blender 3.0+; if not, it would be less problematic if he would just un-list this series of videos. After being so proud of myself for completing the donut tutorial, I feel like quitting Blender once again because of the mistakes I can't overcome in this anvil tutorial. That's not a good feeling to provoke in people who are new to Blender, especially since he explicitly recommends this series as a "next step" after completing the donut.

[@Canzandridas]

@@jeffersonadams8711With a bit of luck you can usually find comments that help you circumvent the changes. Usually everything is still there, just maybe with a different name and in a different menu

[@wallacesousuke1433]

How can anyone learn much from this 5 year old video? Blender has changed so much, even with the donut tutorial I had issues following certain steps because they have changed in later versions

[@delisun1]

i watched this almost 4 hour long series by andrew and learned more than i did in 1 year studying 3d modeling and rendering containing about 30 hours of lecturing

[@almarma]

I agree with you! I'm learning a lot about shortcuts and techniques to draw using subdivisions, more than on a paid course I'm doing

[@gamesterluke]

Its because of Andrew that I got such a high mark in my applied graphics module

[@jeremyleonardo]

wait what?? your uni uses blender? that's rare

[@rg.design6010]

Mine does as well, and that`s the reason i got into blender.

[@KageNekoSamax]

I've seen almost everything i've learned in the career i'm doing in this tutorial, and i had like 12 weelky hours almost every week, and in this tutorial series he covered that all, sure he maybe missed some detail but if i had classes like that i would feel so much better

[@nenadcvele]

Yes, I've closed Blender without saving scratches image.

[@flyingcarpetpoole9064]

Purchased! Thank you Andrew, after many approaches to blender I've finally made three doughnuts, two cups (one broken ;) ) and anvil. Until this time I couldn't finish modelling a glass. I'm almost forty... not too late to start this adventure ;) .

[@johnesparolini5687]

Agreed! I started learning Blender last year at age 67. Andrew Price's tutes are hands-down the best. :-)

[@dylonkejhu]

Perhaps being 14 learning this tutorial definitely not late. Almost give up on this tutorial bcz my brush different from him in blender 2.9

[@r.k.b2055]

Done.whats next sir? 'Blender pro tutorial series'??? Waiting for that. 😤

[@JustFun-lq9ef]

I think now we go out to the world and just model whatever we can.

[@platypus6523]

Now this sir: www.blenderguru.com/podcasts/episode-4

[@kallielias7672]

I think, you´ve set the record for the best modeled anvil for a long, long time!

[@3DBlendemic]

I found that if you enable "Rake" (just above the random rotation option), the scratchs follow the movement of your brush strokes. So you can draw vertical and horizontal scratches without changing the view.

[@TrifoldproductionsOrg]

Hey Andrew, in order to stop your images from disappearing in your UV image editor whenever you make changes just click on the little icon underneath the window that looks like a push pin. That usually helps to keep your image there.

[@itsapyro-fox6963]

Woah its blender gurus teacher. Please teach us.

[@doc_huebi]

Thanks for these tutorials. To see how much work it is increases the respect for all of these animation films like Anvil Story, Anvil-E, Anvilz, Wrecking Anvil, How to train your Anvil or Despicable Anvil,

[@timothymorrisii7165]

Doc Huebi you forgot to mention Big Anvil 6, Anvil and Omega and Cloudy with a Chance of Anvils

[@Jose20571996]

I laughed WAY more then I should've! XD #WorthIt

[@WaterShowsProd]

I'm just thinking of all those anvils in Jurassic Anvil.

[@janmatys8990]

...and also the new AnvilGen made with Blender this year :D

[@tehkill3r]

Lets not forget classics such as Gone with the Anvil, The Anvil from Oz and Anvil Kong.

[@WalkerRileyMC]

@22:00: Hardened steel plate. Actually, since you made this as one full piece, it would be completely cast steel. My anvil has a steel plate welded to a cast iron body, so there's that option as well. I'd also like to point out that you'd probably not ever see scratches that deep on the face plate or the horn. On the shoulder, though, yea. Scratches that deep on the face plate are from an amateur not using a cutting plate or the shoulder when hot/cold cutting. Just a note: a full cast iron anvil is totally useless and would never have lasted long enough to look similar to your render. We like to call those Anvil Shaped Objects or ASOs. @25:30: You got it right, it's called a horn (also sometimes a beak). The opposing square end is a heel. Your hardie hole should be square, not rectangular, and both your hardie and pritchel hole (round hole) should be going all the way through the heel. The flat surface you called a shelf earlier is sometimes called....a shelf. Also a table. I know blender and 3d art is more your gig, but if you've time, watch a few videos on introduction to blacksmithing. It's an incredibly interesting art that is still going strong across the world. So just like I did with the donut tut, I've at this point watched through to the end and now am going back to the start and going to model along. Hopefully it comes out well.

[@eaglefat9398]

I think his reference photo is a cg fake as well because either that anvil is tiny or the hardie hole giant, i have a Enderes tool CO e351 next to me and its a small 10lbs anvil and its hardie hole is way smaller (also mine has no pritchel hole)but at least it does have a hardened face. The reference photo anvil seems odd to me , what could it possibly been used for to have that much wear over ever inch of it.

[@harryroberts-percy4480]

Those in 2.9: The tools for Texture Painting are shown by pressing 'N' and clicking 'Tool'. For the Curve, you want to go to 'Brush Settings' and click 'Falloff'

[@andersdeleurannissen]

Was looking for that. Thank you captain!

Find curve in texture mask, its called falloff

[@MichaelLesterClockwork]

I started with your donut tutorial last year, and I've been doing all sorts of stuff since. Coming back to the tutorials and going through this whole series has really helped fill in some gaps in my knowledge that I didn't know existed. Super useful, and while I wouldn't have paid for it (since I have had many bad experiences with paid courses) I have bought a Poliigon subscription, because I appreciate everything you've taught me, and because you sell great stuff.

[@ChaimLeibHalbert]

Thanks for doing this series! I'm learning lots of very useful drawing techniques from your tutorials. From watching some videos about real anvils, I learned that they are often made of two different types of metal forge-welded together. The bottom is usually a cheaper iron or steel mostly for weight, so that the anvil doesn't move easily. The less the anvil moves, the greater the pinching effect on the workpiece. The top surface of the anvil is ideally a higher quality steel that is harder and deforms less easily. The hardness helps keep the top surface smooth, which is important to avoid transferring the imperfections from the anvil surface onto the workpiece. When restoring anvils, rusted pits are sometimes filled with welding material if they are too severely deep, and the whole top is ground and polished as smooth as the smith has patience for. Another reason to have a hard top is to reflect the force of the hammer back up onto the workpiece. This lets the smith effectively hammer the top and the bottom of the workpiece at once, halving his work. A common quality test is to drop a ball bearing onto the surface and see how high it bounces. The higher it bounces, the harder the surface and the more force is reflected, and thus the better the anvil. In terms of art, this means that the top of an anvil is somewhat smoother than the sides, and usually has a different color because it is a higher-quality steel.

[@Scallisgaming]

cheers andrew for the time and energy you invested in this tutorial series. It's much appreciated

This series is greatness! I'm only about a month into learning Blender and tutorials like this have helped tremendously. I followed this through all the way, but got lost early into this final lesson; I'm using 2.83 and the texture painting menu and brushes in particular are pretty different than what I was watching (a lot of the menus were different throughout, but I managed to figure it out going along... all except for the texture painting parts at the end!). Great teaching bro, I look forward to doing many more as I continue to learn! Thanks

[@karanpratapsingh5022]

To avoid Blender closing your images like at 2:00, use the pin icon in the toolbar of the Image Editor. That way Blender never automatically closes any pinned image.

As a noob who just did the donut tutorial, would this too be hard to follow along with due the version of Blender being like 3 years older?

[@gonecoastal4]

Your advice at 5 min is spot on. Referring to the blacksmith motif in the spirit of this project. The first thing an apprentice blacksmith is often taught to forge is a small leaf and then is told, "Now, make a hundred more."

Excellent intermediate skills tutorial. Finished my anvil and used it as an asset in another scene.

[@muhammadzazulirizki1000]

3:54 Instead of painting it all black first (then erased it), you can just tap-tap the brush with a certain setting. In the "color ramp' of the brush tool, I make the black and white almost close together to reduces the softness of the brush. Then I increase the size of the cloud until only a few clouds left. You might want to experiment with this to find the perfect number. And it may give different results that what you want to achieve, and some parts may still need to be erased too, but for me personally it feels more efficient.

[@timthamm9739]

This comment was really helpful, thanks a ton. For some reason in blender 3.2 I can't erase the black spots I make so I had to use this method to get something close to what was shown in the video. It's not the best fix but hey it's at least there is a workaround. side note - Having the black gradient at 1.00, cloud size at 0.07 and radius at 220px worked well for me

Awesome series buddy!

[@kojifrahm5022]

In Blender 2.93--- The nodes feel confusing but if you pause and really just organize your nodes like his one by one, it worked out for me after a bit of untangling. Basically, if I understand correctly, Andrew is saving us time by having our new node "share" the existing connection to the 2 bump maps that already exists between the DISP_(etc)_METALNESS node (the original starting node of this arm). The MixRGB node that turns into a Multiply node (when you set it to Multiply) is like a "joint" that allows you to connect our new node AND the original node to both bump maps, just like the original node was doing by itself before our new node came along. What confused me at first (among other things) was that when you connect the multiply node to the second bump map, the connection that was there already (to the original node) disappears, and it feels like something got disconnected and is wrong. Really, that original node is still connected, but it is routing now THROUGH the Multiply node, which Blender automatically understands and so it deletes the old connection. Instead of doing all this "hitching" with the multiply node, I think (and I think Andrew mentions?) that we could make a whole new arm for just our new Scratches and Damages node, which may be easier to understand, but it will would be more work because we may need to add another new Bump map for it, etc. Hope you see your scratches. Andrew does not go easy on this last one. We're almost through!
