Blender 3.0 Beginner Tutorial Part 3: Modifiers

[@epontius]

at 06:05 when doing the icing, the instructions are to change the thickness from -1 to 1 since the thickness has added inward rather than outward. But when I do that it it was the opposite. I discovered that my duplicated donut top half icing had the normals flipped around. So changing the thickness to positive values was having the opposite effect on the donut thickness. Flipping the normals did the trick.

I was a beginner once, with horrible CGI. As a beginner, you always think you'll never become as good as the pros. However, you will, if you work hard at it. I began very badly, with terrible CGI, (you can see my very first Demo Reel on my channel), but I continued to learn and model, and eventually became what I am today. As I like to say, every professional was once a beginner. To all the beginners out there, go find your groove! You don't have to follow trends to be good! Let your ideas and mind soar, and whatever you create will be yours! You can even make a cube jumping on top of a sphere, I don't mind. But whatever you do, you don't have to stick to the trends and do what's popular, just because people expect you to do it. You must enjoy the process of creating, not create for the fact of being popular and trendy, but not receive any happiness from the workflow. I never followed trends or popular ideas. People asked me to, but I always told them one thing, "When everyone does the same thing, everything becomes un-original, bland, and boring. Life is supposed to be full of surprises, not the exact same at all times. When life becomes dull, without change or surprise, it loses its meaning." So buckle up your seatbelt, Jack, and open up your mind, and let your CGI take you places, you've never been before! -Blender Bach - The CGI Guy

[@Highcastle_of_Geek]

If your icing edge looks different than his at around the 7:15 mark you may have issues with clipping in the next tutorial. I experimented with the random selection modifier to make the donut more irregular but then at the 7:15 point, instead of having an obvious edge my icing appeared more sunken and this lead to clipping in the next tutorial. Some have suggested applying the subdivision modifier (making sure it's at the top) before editing the icing (in the next tut) and this may give enough vertices to get the icing to snap to the donut (and not clip).

I messed something up later in this series and had to jump back here. Moving forward, I started saving a different .blend file at the end of each video.

For those having problems with the negative offset, do not forget to disable the proportional editing objects. Try also to move the icing up and down by grabbing it with G. If it doesn't work, delete the icing after disabling the proportional editing objects then make a new icing (with peo still off).

[@DirePulpGaming]

Coming here in 2023 with Blender 3.6, with the thickness of the icing, the default offset of -1 is now on the outside of the Donut Mesh with the solidify modifier and doesn't need to be adjusted. At least, not in my case. I also didn't like the weird "lip" over hang of the icing mesh after using subdiff so I used the nifty scaling shortcuts learned in part one to scale the icing down and adjusted the thickness to get rid of the lip. That, in turn, left the center opening of the icing overhanging the donut altogether, creating a weird gap. I then used the wireframe view on the icing and "Ghost" view on the donut and had to go learn the keyboard shortcut to grab the inner icing verticies (Alt while select clicking on an edge between verticies, Hold shift+Alt for selecting multiple) to scale down/back those inner edge loops to be more inline with the donut's center hole. Word of encouragement for those coming here in the future, don't be afraid to mess up. Worst case scenario, you delete and start over. And a lot of times, that's a good thing. Experimenting is how you truly learn in applications such as Blender. Learn the basics and you'll figure the advance stuff out as you go. Edit: Future me here. I need to quit rushing to fix problems that get fixed through far easier steps in the later videos. Shrinkwrap is your friend. lol

[@7errafirma]

From the perspective of an absolute beginner, I think you need to explain why we need to do further actions after we duplicated the top half of the donut. It took me a couple of minutes, but I've figured it out: The duplicated part still counts as part of the original object, you can confirm this by placing the duplicated part away from the original object, the hit G and you'll see it moves both parts. So it means any modifiers or other stuff we want to do exclusively for the icing, would also apply to the donut itself. Sometimes when we get really good at something, we lose perspective of how things were when we were beginners.

For people struggling with the solidify modifier (if it's making like a huge thing looking like nothing but the icing of a donut), it may be a scale problem.

Then you press the + next to the name of your file and the filename will automatically jump to donut1.blend. Then the Save As button does the Save.

Your logic is superior, but I beleve it does stand for "sePerate" - lots of programs, when running out of hotkeys, use the first available letter that's not already assigned to some other hotkey. It's a long standing programmer guy thing to assign hotkeys that way. The menu for it says "separate" when it could have said "partition". Your thinking on the matter is more logical than the industry standard in this case!

[@anzaklaynimation]

Your previous donut tutorial was more thrilling and anergetic. Now I have passed that beginner stage.

[@roesti6214]

Unfortunately, when I add the Solidify modifier and enter the Wireframe mode, the result looks completely different. The inner Donut is there but it is not so small like the one shown in the video. I hope I'm still on the correct path...

[@spencerdefaux6756]

Yeah same with me

[@TheLoveMiku]

Hm, maybe you need to apply the scale again.

[@demoness2005]

So far, so good. But then this is my 3rd donut since I did the previous 2 tutorials. Nothing really hasn't changed up to this point using 3.0. I'm sure I'll encounter some new features as we go on, which is the main reason I'm doing this. Bottom line for me - all those basics that were once so hard for me, I got them down good. That makes me happy. Thank you for doing this all again for Blender 3.0.

[@agustinbanegas8550]

dude, I need to tell you that your tutorials are the best I've seen

[@CryptoIncursion]

A handy thing I learned teaching myself software (reminded me of it when you said the modifiers need a search bar) When you open the modifiers, you can select the key that is the underlined letter in the word for the hotkey for that modifier.

[@Totorosh27]

Seen similar question in the comments but the offset works for some of us as -1.0 and not 1.0. So not sure if it will affect future tutorial parts so hope someone can help!

[@OneEyedMonarch]

Not sure why this happens, but in edit mode select all your faces, then press Alt + N and Flip, that should fix it

[@Totorosh27]

@@OneEyedMonarch thanks! Will give it a try!

@@OneEyedMonarch i will sound ridiculous, but what part is faces?

@@heatherline_ On the top left, on edit mode you will see 3 icons (Vertex, Edge, and Faces) below Window on the top bar. Select faces so you can select the object's faces and do the fix.

[@coda7408]

After applying the solidify modifier to my icing, I've noticed that there's a missing chunk of icing around the middle hole of the donut. I'm curious as to why that is. I've followed the tutorial exactly, or at least I think I have.

[@JOEYgrim]

Likely where you're vertices in the middle were lower than expected after the reshaping and the full ring didn't get selected before creating the icing? Happened with me and I had to check and reselect

[@alaeddinemehenni9602]

[@SchmidtDrums]

Thank you so much, i always procrastinated learning blender but i think i found my teacher. Its so refreshing to hear a joke or something stupid now and then, really helps focusing and learning with fun, just like it should be. Also your approach of learning what you need, when you need it, really clicks with me, as i am sure it does with many others. Prevents being overwhelmed by software that has no problem overwhelming anyone. Keep it up, love your work!

[@jordanmason210]

same here... been kinda procrastinating but at the same time very eager to learn lol

[@baser4039]

For anyone with icing that doesnt look like his right away, try upping the thickness on the solidfy modifier, Its likely cuz our donuts are big.

[@TheEmeraldSword04]

Handy thing I discovered: when you accidentally de-select your icing before pressing P to segment it, you can use Ctrl+Z to undo your selections and revert back to giving the mesh the orange outline.

[@creativecityis]

Ctrl z has been my favourite shortcut

[@avidanperry2096]

Hi and thank you for this great tutorial. I'm adding Solidify to my icing, but it's doing to opposite. What I mean is if I'm changing it to 1 the solidify gets inside the mesh (with positive thickness), of course Iif I'm setting negative value in thickness it will go out but that's oppostie. On the other hand if I change the offset to -1 then the solidify frows outwards, again it's opposite. I tries this 10 times and still. Thanks!

[@friedrichcampenhausen1304]

Did you find a solution? I have the same problem.

[@sailorsally]

im having the same issue! andif I go with negative value i can make it look decent but then the mesh gets burred under the icing & if I flip then again the icing gets swallowed by the doughnut

Having trouble around 5:33 on solidify, after pushing solidly for the icing it looks almost like an upside down mushroom. What did I did wrong?

[@Standard489]

@@bae.melodia7124 I didn’t fix it. I was moving around some stuff only for it to not work. I don’t know what the guy in the video did to make it the way it is. I continued on the series of videos without the icing, deleting from the donut. I recommend doing the same as you’ll still get to learn stuff from it.

[@alphaexpress6881]

I had the same issue but scaling the thickness in the negative direction sort of fixed it

[@Standard489]

@@alphaexpress6881Tride the same thing, but it just returns it to its original form before I put solidify. I just opt to continue on without the icing.

[@samhigh81]

When you selected all the vertices and created a duplicate of the top half, you messed up. check the icing part, it should be in proper shape.

[@Trinsid]

Thank you so much for these tutorials, I've been wanting to get into blender for a while and have had trouble having fun with it but your videos are so entertaining and easy to learn with. I have bought a couple of courses on Udemy and had trouble getting into them because of how much information is being thrown out all at once. Your introductory videos make it a lot more clear for a beginner like myself. Thank you!

His explanations are great! I've watched other videos and I learned things but it bored me to death. This, however has me paying attention.

when i duplicated my icing, i saw 2 layers instead of what he had. also. whenever i put my icing into wireframe i didnt see a donut inside a donut, like he did. also, when i moved the offset bar my icing barely moved, but his moves a bunch. if anyone knows how to fix this,

okay, so i had the same problem until i realize what i done wrong before. in previous part (second part) of this donut series, when he teaching you about real world measurements and applying scale, just listen him carefully and do whatever he do. we had the problem because we just forgot about applying scale! and now i fixed my problem and i hope you guys can solve your problem with my idea too

HELP I cant get my donut to look like it does here 5:55 . Mine just looks like a regular donut in wireframe therefore the solidifying doesnt do anything. Im stuck here and no matter how many steps I retrace, I cannot get the donut inside a donut.

[@DrunkenUFOPilot]

I don't know how you got that result, but I can say, even if you're only half as dumb as me, you'll spend as much time figuring out what mistakes you made, what tiny step you missed, as you will actually making a 3D object.

[@minshid]

Same to you😩

[@sirkanz]

SAME!!

[@luigibombastico7641]

(sorry for my Bad English I'm German) what's wrong with my settings? I do it the same way at 8:00 but it is looking like trash😰 The icing isn't sticking out and there are wavy lines all over the donut

[@Akaki1999]

Notes: Duplicating: For icing on the donut, duplicate the donut, shave off half of it and you get the icing. Press num 1, 3 or 7 (X, Y, Z view), then Alt + Z for X Ray view and then select the top half of the donut, in edit mode. Once you select the chunk, Shift + D to duplicate and then move it wherever you want or click Esc if you want to keep it in the same place. Separating: Now you have vertices on top of vertices but they need to be separate objects, to do that click P and then selection. Also if you want to pull out the duplicate again just click the duplicate object, then press G and move it. Thickness: To give the duplicate/icing a thickness, go to modifiers/wrench icon again and select solidify. Then look at the numbers, if the offset is a negative number it will have thickness inwards, so put it in a positive number and also adjust the thickness number too as you wish. Order of Modifiers: It’s working from top to bottom. So if you move “solidify" on top spot and then “subdivision", the icing will look more natural because it will first thicken and then smooth it out. Other way around looks weird.

[@Vera-yh4le]

5:58 My donut was clipping through the icing or something like that and after 15 minutes, I realised that the offset was on -1.0, so MAKE SURE!! it is indeed on 1.0 and not -1.0 (not sure how that happened cause i did think i did that part but oh well at least its fixed now c:)
