Beginner Blender 4.0 Tutorial - Part 3: Modelling the Icing

Good comment. I had to start again from scratch four times before I realized where I was making the same error. Which is really a good way to learn. Ended up understanding better exactly what each option actually did.

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!

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!

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.

[@tryoxiss]

WIth the face project bit, if anyone else is having trouble "Project to individual elements" is a CHECKBOX now, diffrent from how it is in the video. Took me like 10m to figure out and hope this helps someone.

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.

Honestly these got so much better over the years.

17:20 • Extrusion (follow this guide if you need help): • Make sure to change the order or move your "Subdivision" modifier, above the "Solidify". • Or alternatively (if the one above is not working for you): remove all your "Subdivision" modifiers.

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.

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!

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 .

Instead of rummaging through menus there's a SINGLE magic keybind everyone should know - it's F3 - it opens the "command palette", aka searching through all the menus/actions :)

finally and I mean finally mastered this DAMN DONUT ICING 🥴💯 it took me approximately 8 days to complete it but now it’s tacked in my memory I can’t unforget it 🤣 but throughout the 8 day process I mastered the sculpting tools the Inflate, Grab, Mask, Mesh, and Smooth tools in 2 days but I refused to move forward to the next video which is shading which is Part 5 until I had the ICING aced and I finally did it 😩😮‍💨 now onto Part 5 and completing the rest of this series to whomever see’s this and it’s your first run with Blender YOU GOT THIS 🤝🏿💯 in 8 days I went from being on and off with Blender since I was 12 to now at age 26 learning the donut and building it along with the sculpting in less than 10 mins now and just getting started!!! now im extremely confident and can’t wait to see where my animating journey takes me 🏁

[@michaelmccoll4612]

Wow, you really are good at explaining things in a digestible manner! I'm a high school art teacher and I want to explore Blender with some of my Media Arts students.. Thanks for these videos!!!

When talking about applying the subdivision modifier at 09:15 it may be useful to note one detail: By doing so, you apply the modifier to the entire object *and* *then* *remove* *it* *from* *the* *set* *of* *all* *modifiers* . I was slightly confused that, after applying, it vanished from my view :)

[@zy2239]

So it is not a bug, it just dissapears ??

[@ZeroOneClips]

[@carrotized]

@@thegoodally101 I think it has to do with the version of blender you're using; I started the tutorial yesterday and ran into the same problem but it was because I was using 2.91 blender lol

[@tobyaldous2027]

@@carrotizedyou just need to click ‘align rotation to target’

[@user-yr9de6oz3v]

I don't think it helps xd but I think they changed it, have the option to click like he did it, If not, when you are in editing mode (viewing the vertices), at the top in the "second" menu section, there will be a section that will say face, try to "extrude individual faces", in addition to that, check again to have all the buttons that he has on, I spent minutes seeing why moving several vertices didn't work and then I realized that I was missing "proportional editing"

[@Agent_427]

The option is there for me but it doesn't work as intended :(

[@rAtentg]

As in the older tutorials, when you're doing the icing, try looking at donut references to make it look more natural.

[@Sin_Alder]

Ideally using real donuts, picked up either at your local bakery or a grocery store. Not necessarily for practical reasons (although yes), but primarily so you have delicious chunks of frosted/glazed fried dough to munch on.

[@cardermedia]

Got as far as pulling down the icing, and I lost the vertices view and didn't know how to get back despite being in Edit Mode. Will return to the start of this tutorial when I've stopped losing hair. I think it's pretty much compulsary to know a bit of Blender these days, so thank you for these updated videos! :)

The only thing that has worked for me Edit Mode || Snap To Face Project - Snap with Closest - Target Selection, Toggle on; Active, Edited, Non-edited - Toggle on; Align Rotation to Target, Backface Culling, Project Individual Elements - Affect; Move Hope this works for whoever is looking for a solution to "snapping to face"

[@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.

[@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.

The subdivision modifier should be on 1 if you are following the tutorial. If you have it on 2 and apply the subdivision modifier, you will get many more points than you need and it will complicate things for you. Thank you blender Guru, you have made learning this very simple. May God bless you abundantly

I could not get snapping to work successfully, and after about 5 tries, I finally found what I had missed. see 8:30 options for the snap with options. If you do NOT have selected in blender what Blender Guru has selected/highlighted, snapping the icing to the donut will not work. hopefully, this will help somebody, and save some time. Great video, by the way. Thanks so much!

I had the same problem, 2 steps that fixed mine 1) add subdivision and place the order below the solidifier 2) Set the Levels viewport of the subdivision to 2. He mentioned step 1 but I am not sure if step 2 is the best practice as he didn't do that, but that rounded my drip, I guess the drawback is it will increase the size of the mesh.

[@stolaz_theartist4455]

I almsot started crying cuz of the same problem. I think that the reason is: When you duplicate you get a little pop up from the action. It seems to be checked in as “linked”. If you undo that they’ll be seen as two separate objects and it’ll stop happening I think that’s how it works at least

for icing not sticking well Snap face, allign rotation to target and backface culling. This prevents the problem you mention in the video of vertices snapping to the inside and rotation makes the icing practically glide along the donut.
