Watching this dude model a plate in seven and a half minutes after it took me hours to do the same thing was the most humbling moment of my life.

[@freg661]

well, had u used blender since 2003, u could do it too 😂

[@weegee_hates_the_blind]

took me 3 days

[@ahsonshaikh3800]

Can you guide me how you did that because the way Andrew taught was simple but I am having several issues with the scaling thing when I choose it on x axis it just move one side of the vertices but not the other one

[@notyourmother73]

@@ahsonshaikh3800 I didn’t do it the way he did. The way he did it made a lot more sense lol. I basically just stacked a bunch of super thin cylinders on top of each other and added bevels where needed.

[@enochwade9010]

Happened to me but in classes i took a modeling class, lol and in the first frigging class the professor modeled a lamp in like 10 minutes nice and quick and it took me a week to get a specific rotation to duplicate, real humbling.

I've been donating for the last two years or so. I don't even use blender that much, but I appreciate all the things made by the people who do A monthly donation to blender is like a small investment in getting more cool art made by people

[@sherazkamran642]

as an aspiring blender user, i too wish to do that in the future. And thing is it's actual work done by people owned by people. Instead of giving all of the info to an AI owned by a company for them to profit from other people's creativity.

[@TheMarkOfGenesis]

[@__bogdan]

Worked like magic! I have no idea why...

[@Brentgilbertstudio]

The comments section is saving me every time I’m about to give up.

[@samuelsarzaba9388]

@@NikHem343 believe its because we created a duplicate edge overlapping one another, and merging the vertices deletes the overlap allowing the beveling to work as intended

[@sirflimflam]

I'm so glad Blender has become as huge as it has. I was a big 3ds max guy from the mid-late 2000s until I stopped modeling altogether for a while. I remember trying blender several times over the years and just couldn't stand the way it was designed. When they finally conceded a bit on the whole "doing it our way" for everything, it really started picking up a lot of traction. And finally my return to 3D a couple years ago I went straight to blender and haven't looked back.

[@Itsyesfahad]

If it's for the license, then yeah, that makes sense understandable other than that who the f switches from 3ds Max to Blender lol glad the Autodesk indie license saved me.

[@sirflimflam]

@@Itsyesfahad I had a license through a company originally. When I stopped doing that work I pretty much fell entirely out of 3D modeling for a while, and when I came back I didn't feel like paying Autodesk any more money. It's absolutely hilarious what they charge now. 3ds max was expensive for a license before, but it was a one time deal. Now you pay over half the price of an old perpetual license every year. If I was doing it all professionally again, I'd probably be more inclined to get on board, but not for myself.

[@shlokbhakta2893]

I also left blender multiple times lol, but now I vibe with blender

[@mrbigolnuts3041]

I had the exact same situation with Max, found it very clunky and overly complex, stopped altogether, now Blender is a dream come true!!

[@davidpastor_]

If you create the circle (or anything else) and suddenly there are many lines around it, like a sphere shape, make sure the mesh you create it is not within any of the Sprinkles groups. Blender Guru, I can't thank you enough for the great tutorials :)

#joinedblender Andrew, so grateful that you have put this tutorial up and that Blender is a free open source software. Back in the early 2000s I went to college for computer animation and left only after a year, I felt I was no good at it. 20 years later I've decided to give it another try, and to chase my dreams and passions for design. Thank you again for putting these tutorial up for everyone to learn such an amazing software! Cheers

[@therondoshow]

#joinedblender ! Thanks for the push Andrew. Happy to support the development of this amazing software and community.

[@kimmysander2447]

I started my 3D career with your tutorials in 2010, to make models for StarCraft 2. I started at a 3D school and got into architecture visualization since, and it has been my job for over 10 years now. I owe my career to you and Blender, and I am so impressed with how far blender has come, it is far faster and almost as versatile as 3Ds (even ahead in some respects ) despite being free. This software is taking the CG community by storm, and also putting pressure on Autodesk to keep up, so of you use it or not blenders development is a good thing. I will definitely be contributing. #joinedblender

[@Robonator14]

If anyone has the issue that like a billion circles appear around your donuts after you did the add mesh -> circle thing, go back and make sure the standard collection is highlighted and then add the circle. It would slap it into the donut collection for me which somehow resulted in this, until i highlighted the standard one and then added it.

[@jjmetrejhon1743]

I have a lot of trouble with my hands, and made a few mistakes early in the process that I didn't notice. Subsequently, I had to do the early parts of this tutorial series several times. I got really frustrated, but I walked away and took some time and came back, and I did eventually get this far, so I have had a go at making a plate for homework. I have to say, it's so easy to come back to these tutorials just because you're such a kind and patient teacher, who is clear and careful in his instructions. And the joy I felt at reaching this point and then finding I had done so much of my homework correctly is so, so gratifying! I'm having a great time!

[@MrSuperPatar]

This tutorial is very confusing to me in the begininning. I have had to re-do it a few time, and now I am stuck on the beveling part again. It is just not doing the same thing his is

[@UltimateGattai]

@@MrSuperPatar I had trouble with the beveling part too, like it was ignoring my first selection, try try reselecting what you need, hopefully it'll work out.

[@Bansmyth]

I managed to make the plate assigned last video using a short cylinder with a couple extra rings added using the ctrl + r, then scaling the lower rings of vertices down with them getting wider the further up the cylinder, and finally deleting the top face to make it open. Then adding subdivision, solidify, and applying a texture with shader nodes I got a convincing plate I am proud of :) Thank you for these tutorials! They're really encouraging to newer people like me!

[@battulgadorjpurev9627]

i wasn't succesfull on making the plate bc i wasn't able to make rings but turns out i completly forget that i can make like 2 things group like the donut is icing and the donut it self in the toturials for example

If you're having trouble with bevelling on the edge around the plate at the very bottom, try selecting everything (A) and merge the vertices by distance (M). This way it allowed me to use bevel on that edge also.

#joinedblender Even though I've never earned anything or use Blender in professional way (only in hobby and learning) so far, I do work as a fullstack web developer and know how much harder my life and life of any other developer (or 3D artist for that matter) would be if there weren't open source libraries or software. I fell in love with Blender back in 2007-08 or so when it was in the ugly v1.48 or so (can't remember correctly). Back then it's install size was around 40mb and it had so many things packed in those 40mb that it was impossible for me to comprehend.

[@breakupgoogle4584]

The Solidify modifier jacks up the mesh on the underside if applied after the Bevels to the edges. Try hiding half of the plates faces from the top view then looking at the side. Convex angles do this when pushed too far. I fixed this by using the Solidify modifier before putting Bevels on the edge loops on the top and bottom (not the top edges, I still beveled them as he did in the video as a separate step, because of the Clamp option) edges of the plate.

[@anirudhumapathy6753]

Man. You are a life saver. At first i thought the normals had flipped. So i went and checked that, but it made it only worse. Its only when i hid half the object that i saw that the top face generated by the modifier was cutting through the generated bevels. I spent a bit of time deleting the face and adjusting the edge, but the resulting new bevel was not uniform. Your method worked out the best. Wonder how andrew didnt face the same issue. Maybe we needed an even lesser width to our modifier?

Had the same problem, but I solved it by simply using the complex mode of solidify, instead of simple.

I created the plate by making a UV sphere and shaping out the bottom of it. Adding subdivisions to get more vertices, bevelling as i shaped it, etc. When i got the rough bottom shape i wanted, i deleted the rest of the sphere and went from there with adding finer details and movements. Not the most symmetrical since i didn't make 100% good use of locking the axis when moving, but i'm pretty happy with the result!

[@ye9945]

I did the same! Although it felt a bit cheap considering the geometry was not really natural at all. I actually ended up enjoying the way Guru did it even more.

[@k0n4_m4r]

@@ye9945 Indeed, his way is much more symmetrical and precise, though the satisfaction you feel after making a model yourself in your own way can't be replaced! Plus with some tweaks to the geometry, you can get the plate looking quite round and symmetrical too.

#joinedblender Thanks for the PSA and all the videos, Andrew! Blender is an incredible resource and you help to keep it alive and accessible.

21:53 You could simply add a 2D whitenoise texture between the random per object output and the rest of the node tree. Just make sure you do it through a "Combine XYZ" node, plug the noise value into the X, and your Y is a freely chooseable value which is now your seed!

#joinedblender You are the guy, who made Blender accessible to me, way back 2007 ish, version 2.xx, when I had absolutely no clue but needed to get some selfmade assets for secondlife .... Today, I still have no clue but in a more sphosticated manner. Thanks for bringing me up to date with Blender 4.0

Seeing him use the Yankee Stadium example to show how many people actually pay for blender made me feel so guilty that I wanted to hide under a rug! Starting in December, I'll be contributing monthly - I promise. #joinedblender

[@winterdream5710]

UPDATE: Did what I said and starting donating in December.

[@jonartmir]

Really enjoying the series so far, thanks so much for making it! Just an update (at least for macs), "Rotate Euler" is now located in "Utilities -> Deprecated" rather than "Utilities -> Rotation".

My bevel is reversed on the second edge and on the bottommost edge with the round face I can't get a bevel at all. I only see a line going to the center. What I am doing wrong?

[@leamsol5615]

anyone figured this out?

[@Sebazzz1991]

@@leamsol5615 I still didn't

[@Sdstfu]

@@Sebazzz1991 if u did figure out then share ur thoughts

[@christianm3390]

@@Sdstfu this happens when press E (extrude) on a selection and dont move it. If you right click to cancel, it leaves the "extruded" vertices on top of the selection, which causes issues with the beveling later. fixing this involves selecting any vertices you've done this to and removing them, but since you cant see them and likely don't remember which ones you've extruded & cancelled on (or how many times), it's easier to start over.

I began my journey with c4d a long time ago at the university. before that i tried to use blender, but there was no youtube back then so it was all confusing. now thanks to you, i can make the transition. 😀

[@pandadayi]

and also the UI was everything but userfriendly... i like where this is going and how much blender improved since then.

[@zaellia1552]

#joinedblender I've really loved these tutorial videos and have been learning so much! They're very inspiring and I'm having a lot of fun learning how to make better stuff!

[@DuckRoll13]

I am eleven and this has taught me so much about how to use blender, so thank you

[@shenrafonda]

#joinedblender Hello Andrew, Greetings From Germany and thank you for all the Videos you made. They are always clear and easy to follow and i like your Humorous Style. You teached me a lot. :))))

[@MarkusEicher70]

Hi Andrew. First of all thanks for being such a great source for Blender stuff. As a Blender newbie I really appreciate your channel and your work. I fell in love with this faboulus piece of software. I hate having missed on it till these days. I am happy to join the Blender Develop Fund with a Silver Membership. I have not much, but 10 bucks a month is what I can do and the tool is more than worth it. So I #joinedblender. Looking forward to learn a ton and steadily improve. Honestly, it's pretty hard but I love it. Thanks, Andrew.

[@FlowRush89]

#joinedblender thanks Andrew!!

Blender has, and always will have my support! 💪🏻 #joinblender

BRO I JUST USED A PLANE AND A TORUS AND CALLED IT A PLATE WTF ARE YOU DOING

[@elementgamer1700]

Same wtf 👁️👄👁️

[@potato_bear842]

I am now just a student, trying to learn, but when I start earning, I shall definitely like to join the blender membership to help the development team.

[@gumgumdazeR]

If you guys are having problems with extruding the plate example: when I tried to extrude it went all of the place. You can go the the magnet (snap when transforming) located in the bar where you can select material preview then go next to it (snapping) and select vertices. The problem was fixed for me. Hope it helped. P.S: I'm a beginner modeler in blender 🤪 Edit: Don't forget to snap to Zed or Z axis whilst extruding!

[@LegendOfTy]

Dude these videos have been amazing, fun, and super easy to follow along, and my donuts are looking awesome! I've also come a navigation setting that I feel like would be helpful for most mouse users, and that's going into Edit>Preferences>Navigation, under the Zoom tab, check 'Zoom to mouse position' and 'Invert zoom direction' boxes. Personally it makes it so much easier to orbit and make more precise selections by being able to zoom to where you are pointing. Thanks so much dude, cant wait for the rest of these tutorials 🍩

[@plutus2559]

Thank you, that's a game changer!

[@utkarshwashere]

You made the plate texture paid?!!! why???

[@Lightbringer-d7f]

we aint buying just save the image like he did

[@SixSpeedSeven]

Pay attention, friend. He’s just opening it and saving the photo, not using the texture.

[@harperrb]

Enjoyed returning to these tutorials over the years to brush up on my knowledge base. Happy to join, #joinblender

[@lisa-eh2mr]

#joinedblender if you love something just do something ❤

2:00 I made it fairly quickly, like 2 minutes tops, mostly because I was beating myself over the head about forgetting to bevel the indise edges.

[@UnicoveStudios]
