10:21 If your donut disappears when you add Subdivision Surface. Click "Edit > Preferences" on the menu bar to open the Preferences Window. Then Switch to the "Viewport" Tab, click "Subdivision" and uncheck "GPU subdivision" below. Now the object should be visible.

[@alzamonart]

For those stuck at around 15:20 with a keyboard without PgDn/PgUp keys: 1- Edit mode > Select a vertex in the donut 2- Press the G key, *then* scroll up and/or down your middle mouse wheel until the size circle appears so you can adjust it to your needs. Size determines surface affectation radius. EDIT: Make sure you have "proportional editing" turned on as in the video, otherwise it won't work. Has happened to me. ^_^! * I'm leaving this here for the next time I forget it, this was a personal peeve from Donut 2.0 tutorial :)

[@s.j.carroll6185]

Great series so far! For those who got stumped at 14:45, try these steps: 1) Turn off the "snap" magnet at the top of the screen. The donut seems to be much too small for vertices to escape the gravity well of "snap". 2) Click on a vertex, then press G. 3a) Scroll whichever way makes the number in the top left corner of the screen (Proportional Size) get smaller. Eventually the coveted grey circle should shrink into view. 3b) Alternatively, left-click once, and go to the "> Move" option that appears in the bottom left corner of the screen. Change proportional size to 0.040. Move your cursor around, and hopefully the vertex will move, too! If not, maybe you need to do step 2 again? Hope this helps!

[@ChocolatePink29]

[@GooglyMoogly420]

[@spacedevice47]

Spent over an hour trying to get the proportional editing bit to work, to the point it was driving me insane. The bit that is missed is: YOU HAVE TO HAVE A VERTICES SELECTED, then press G. Then your scroll wheel alters the area size and moving the mouse moves the surface of the donut like in the tutorial.

A few years ago I finished your donut tutorial in Blender and was beyond excited. Then once I got to UV unwrapping I unfortunately gave up and quit because it was way too hard. Now I'm following your tutorial once again, this time I won't give up that easily. Your tutorials are still incredibly good. If you can explain a complicated program like Blender this easily, you're one hell of a teacher!

[@gold_spin1639]

An important tip from a fellow beginner, always create a folder for your projects and use save as to keep multiple versions of your models. Undo can only go back so far, so each time you delve into a new portion of your project, make a new version so you can go back just in case you make any catastrophic changes that you can’t back out of. Otherwise you’re gonna learn the hard way.

[@_S_P_A_C_E_M_A_N_]

Also: save regularly. Every time you save, blender automatically generates a .blend1 file which is your previously saved file. Just remove the 1 at the end of the extension and you can work on it. It's saved me a time or two.

[@skii9333]

Yep somehow I’m just realizing this after restarting for the 5th time.

Learned this the hard way after getting the pt 4, not realizing I messed something up in pt 3, and having to start again at the beginning. Save a new file after completing each part, so you can easily go back to your latest correct version.

I bought a book that was a tutorial for blender many years ago. I installed it and immediately gave up because the program is much smarter than I. Fast forward 15 years or so, I found these videos and decided download the latest version and give it another try. You make learning much more fun and simplify the process. I don't even mind the joke about us Americans. Lol I will definitely support the channel and the advertisers so that more great videos can be created. Thanks!

[@kumakuma_07]

I've been looking for a tutorial like this for DAYS. Every time I open blender I get stressed out, so I look for a tutorial. Since I want to use blender for figure creation, most tutorials are too old or too complex for me. For the first time since I downloaded it, blender is kinda fun. All of this is super helpful since I'm going to art school in the fall, and 3d sculpting teaches great lessons in depth and shape lol.

A university of a friend of mine tells their students to go watch these videos to learn blender. This man single handedly raised a new generation of designers.

[@BorislavJordanov]

13:39 If when you press "G" the whole object moves even though you have only 4 vertices selected, it's because the radius of proportional editing is too big! To change the radius, use the scroll wheel down and scroll like crazy. Don't get discouraged. Eventually, a circle will appear!

I have that problem, and I scrolled down like hell until I could no more, no circle appeared and the dang thing still kept moving...

[@jgg2032]

What I like most about this series is that you are not PRESUMPTUOUS. You find no need to flex your knowledge and throw in terms that prove you know what you're talking about. That is what makes so many tutorials go wrong. We're here to learn about BLENDER, not here to learn how much YOU know about Blender. It is our first time touching this thing and you explain it with that as your foundation.

For those tract pad users like me who are stuck at 15:22 press w to change your selection type press w until you see a circle in your cursor it means your selection type now is for vertices then select a vertices and press g then use two fingers and scroll up it should work the same way like the mouse wheel. Just scroll up till you see another circle its a little darker than the selection circle then just look at the top right corner for the proportional size and adjust it to 0.004 it doesn't have to be exact. Another tip to select multiple vertices this can work for both laptop and pc users just move your camera angle where you can see the side you want to adjust then try to capture multiple vertices inside the selection circle then press g adjust it to your desired proportional size and move it how ever you want! _(´ω`_)⌒)_ sorry English isn't really my mother tongue so sorry for any grammatical errors you see just wanted to help : )

I love your tutorials, you are straight to the point and you are very clear with a bunch of greats tips

[@TwistingArcane_Viewer]

2 helpful pointers: 1. You don't have to Hold G. Make sure you have an object/objects or in edit mode a vertex/vertices selected then just press the key once and the function will be toggled. this applies to other hotkeys like Scale, Move, and Rotate that I know of so far. Also you can lock any of those actions to an axis with x, y, or z and in some cases you can press the key a 2nd time Ex: when in edit if you have a vertex selected and press G to grab then press G again you will lock that vertex movement along only lines that connect to the selected vertex. (note I'm like 2 days into blender and have no prior experience with other editors so have yet to really explore.) 2. Super useful for people with a laptop and track pad that may not have figured this out. Also may not apply to all track pads I guess. However if you can scroll on you track pad with 2 finger swipes like I can the you can effectively achieve the same result as holding down the middle mouse key.

Wow... I've been using blender for 3 DAYS and this tutorial is like seeing God. I became slightly obsessed with Blender (very fun) and started out of my bounds with Grease Pencil but it gave me some spark. Now that I found your series I feel solid!!! I knew a lot of the small details but learning the way you are teaching is so cohesive and all encompassing it's very helpful to put all the mess in my brain in order. I have a couple things I do want to make, but I think I need to keep on doing these basics to get where I need to be. THANK YOU so much! I wish I could buy you a doughnut in person haha.

[@murielpatel9345]

I had a hard time making the bump on the donut in part 13:37 mn but in fact it's just because my SNAP icon (The little horseshoe at the top) was activated. You have to disable it for it to work. We then click on the G button on the keyboard and play with the mouse to increase the little bump!

I love how Andrew teaches, he makes you learn new things for free while keeping you entertained and 2. to see if there are new features in this version I don't know about

[@malik82898]

Seriously thanks for making the things you do. Over the past year or so I've found myself in a bit of a frustrating rut when it comes to further improving and enjoying my primary creative outlet, which is digital illustration. You've made it incredibly fun, exciting and easy to break into this new artistic medium that is 3D, and I can't thank you enough for it. I've done your 2nd donut tutorial twice and am thoroughly eager to complete this one as well.

For those that don't know, a way quicker and easier way to do Subdivision Surface modifiers is to hit Ctrl+The level of subdivision you want. For example, if you wanted 1 level of subdivision you'd do Ctrl+1, for 2 levels you'd do Ctrl+2, etc.

[@csy_x5063]

That's great, thx

Yeah I avoid showing that this early on because I want people to see how modifiers work.

I'll make sure I include a doughnut in the assets :)

Proportional editing and falloff option is great help , thanks , Blender Guru , the master of digital donuts

[@brandonjacksoon]

AWESOME! Congrats on almost 2M subscribers! Thanks for all your tutorials!

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

Instead of using proportional editing to change the shape of the doughnut, I like to add a displace modifier above the subd surface modifier and add a clouds texture to it. Then just adjust the settings to a very small amount on the clouds texture, and then adjust the scale of the displacement until you have what you like. Then just apply the displace modifier. It usually gives a very realistic deformation to the doughnut.

Just starting to make a donut. I used random select, grab, proportional editing to make it lumpy. I like how that looks.

I don't think there's a more likable guy on all of youtube

[@ZenithWest169]

NOTE: Something left out from the former tutorial is that subdivision modifier does not permanently modify the underlying mesh and can be removed or changed at any time. The modifier is applied after/during editing the mesh, so even though it looks like it has more segments visually, when you turn on edit mode to see the vertices they aren't actually more of them. This is useful for keeping the number of vertices you have to manipulate low while creating a highly detailed model. (So I've finally settled on sitting down and learning blender... Started the other day with the same tutorial but was on the blender 2.8 from 3 years and realized this is the newer one. I stopped around part 6 and decided to restart on this newer one. Anyway, I just wanted to provide this note as I thought it was useful to know from the previous tutorial).

The proportional fall off bit be very confusing as you are super zoomed in, and its default is for bigger objects. You can see the giant ring easier if you zoom out temporarily, might help understand what's happening at the time!
