At 3:47, the snapping options have changed. For Blender v3.3 onwards select "Face Nearest" then the "Snap to same target" checkbox.
Woah, I've actually been having trouble with this and you came in at the perfect time. Thank you sm!! :D
Thanks, I was wondering why Face wasn't just there anymore.
thank you i was just trying the tutorial today and it came in handy
Thx! This was the first roadblock in the tutorial for me
Is this messing with the extrude part?
I googled Donut icing images and at least half of them were 3D renders done by people learning from your tutorials. That's kind of amazing.
same lol
he could be a doughnut influencer... now I wanna see the guru doughnuts crush krispy kreme!
How do you know it was his tutorials they had learned from?
Around 25-37% of people that tried the first tutorial made it to this section alone... from here on out it only gets harder. This is my second time doing the tutorial. It may get difficult, but the journey is so fun and the end result is worth it. Remember, this isn't just how to make a donut: this is a tutorial that teaches you all the core concepts of blender. Only 8.75% made it to the end tutorial, and with enough determination you will be one of them. I wish you the best of luck modelers. o7.
please can you tell how you did snapping part
gimme a timestamp rq@@fustrted757
@@fustrted757what problem are you facing.
can u tell me how to get the " shortcut VUr " ?
For the past 6 hours of trying, I finally made it to this point. If something went wrong I just start all over again, until I get the hang of it without actually looking at the video and it worked out really well in terms of familiarizing myself with the tools and shortcuts. Hope I make it to the end of this playlist :')
same
Real >>
I messed up the icing in this so I just went back to video 2
0:59 - hide the solidify modifier (to see the vertices and faces of the icing in editing mode)
1:24 - move the vertices down, with proportional editing turning on
1:52 - problems
2:18 / 3:44 - snap to the face (magnet)
4:10 - project individual elements (everything in proportional editing circle area will also snap)
4:52 - believe him, he made millions of donuts before
5:28 / 5:52 - split the window
6:25 - image editor
7:26 - apply sub-surf modifier
8:16 - hide and unhide object (hide: H; unhide: ALT+H)
9:43 - add back sub-surf modifier (get the smooth edge)
9:51 / 10:06 - extrude (hotkey: E)
(extrude = add extra face. Select two or more vertices first, extrude, move and left click to confirm, right click to cancel)
14:20 - working on donut (apply sub-surf modifier)
14:39 - edge loop (hotkey: ALT + left click) , to select a ring of vertices
Meanwhile, O is hotkey for proportional editing, turn it on; and turn snapping off
15:18 - shrink wrap modifier
16:38 - ALT+S: shrink / flatten (vertices moving along normal, review tutorial Part2 at 17:51)
Every cooll
Thank you for doing this. I must admit that sometimes I either get lost or mess something up so bad that I have to back track. putting these chapter markers helps so much.
Thanks this is super helpful!
🌟🌟🌟
@GM Tech Helper press O
for those at 14:52 wondering how he radially shrinks the ring, it's through scale (press S on keyboard)
Thank you!
Thanks!!!
thanks king 👑
OMG thank you
Throwing another thank you on to the pile!
3:47 I think that depending on how much you edited your Donut vertices at the end of Part 2 you have to increase your thickness accordingly otherwise the icing mesh will just go inside the donut. I was nearly giving up because the meshes weren't snapping no matter what. What worked for me after 2 hours was selecting "Face Nearest" with everything unchecked but "include non-edited" and "snap to the same target", and then increasing the thickness of the solidify modifier.
You´re a life saver, I was almost about to give up, thanks!!!!
Huge lifesaver indeed. Thanks!
Holy shit thank you
THANK YOOOOOOUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!! I was about to give up on this myself but Turning up the thickness in the solidify modifier worked perfectly.
Bruh I was about to walk out.... I pushed this thing like a day late....
Dude, the fact you actually go back and redo your old tutorials in new versions is actually super cool and appreciated.
I literally just finished the old tutorial a week ago and was kinda bumbed since not 3.0
BUT THEN YOU DELIVERED IMMEDIATELY!
Thank you dude, you da GOAT
You’re welcome :)
Dude I was in the exact same boat. I was so amped when I saw the premier. Cannot wait to see the rest.
@@blenderguru all I want is water sim and geometry nodes
Have you noticed any struggles going from 2.8 to 3.0? Going from 2.79 to 2.8 was huge but 2.9 and 3.0 didn't really feel like a big change. Am I missing something or are all the steps pretty much the same so far?
@@pismodude2 ya when I followed along the old tutorial on 3.1 I just had the different UI to deal with and there are a few more options here and there to navigate that made me feel like I was in the wrong menu. Cycles rendering all at once instead of by squares also tripped me up. I thought I had my GPU setting set incorrectly but it was smoooooth sailing for the most part. He did mention how geometry nodes could eliminate the sprinkle meshes from crashing into each other and that was something I really wanted to learn after but then this tutorial revamp came out so I am really excited to see if it is mentioned here so I can compare the old workflow to the new workflow 1:1
Just so you know, at 14:46 he just selected to vertices by tapping shift and the two vertices and then he pressed S to scale down the two vertices which kind of “narrowed” down that part of the dribbly bit of the icing in case anyone was stuck there.
That was the one part I couldn't figure out, thanks for this!
thanks a lot, thought i was going crazy
after watching the latest blender guru's series (donut part 4) I was very confused about a few things.. like at 3:55 he says "the point is snapping to the face but, this point is not".. I didn't really understand what he meant and then project individual element feature.. so plz help me with that part..
Thank god for you! Was so stuck.
your a legend bro
If your are stuck at 14:55, this might help
Click the torus (not the icing) then toggle to x-ray mode with ‘Alt z’( so that you can see across the torus. Then press ‘alt + left click’ on a single Vertix across the horizontal plane of interest. If you do that correctly, you should have highlighted a single chain vertices across the torus. When you get that done, ‘press alt + s’ to scale as you want.
thanks so much I was forgetting how to do the scaling.
Thank you so much 😭😭😭😭 I was about to quit because I was stuck here.... really Thanks alot 🙏🙏
TYSM!
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you !!
Thank you!
Your TH-cam Donut series is better than many paid beginner courses. I bought two different "beginner" courses on Udemy, and they skipped a lot of things. Your Donut series allowed me to actually really understand the little things, that many other "beginner" courses gloss over. Thank you so much!
*NOTE:* For everyone struggling to find the same set of snapping options as at 4:22, I've found a solution:
In the "Snap To" menu, you should see 2 options, namely: "Face Nearest" and "Face Project".
Shift+Click on both of these, and you will now see the "Project Individual Elements" option as well, as opposed to only selecting "Face Nearest".
Project Individual elements will allow all vertices in the Proportional Falloff circle will snap to the Donut faces underneath.
P. S. Despite all of this, you may notice the Icing faces still overlapping with the Donut faces, it's fine as long as your vertices are still snapping, because when you re-enable the Solidify modifier for your viewport and go back to "Object Mode", you will see that the icing still looks like it's properly resting atop the Donut top.
Not all heroes wear a cape, thanks man, finally it worked.
But it doesn't work with extruding 🥲 has anybody figured it out?
Thanks man it work 👍, also for those who also try the methods from other comments above, on Target Selection please also check "include active, include edited, include Non-Edited"
@@dimarch6316 Hi. I fixed mine. When you select all the little dots of your icing and subdivide it in edit mode and then try to pull it. I was looking for a solution a long time and this worked the best for me.
what are face nearest and face project functions and where can I add them in ?
Around 12:00 If your extrusion drips are squared off at the bottom, you didn't add back a subdivision modifier. Also hit S after extruding and shrink (scale) the end to make it more rounded "drip" like.
To select multiple vertices hold shift then Left Click on more than one or drag selection box.
At 14:50 he's hitting alt and clicking on an outer ring of the dougnut to select all the way around it. Then adjusting his proportional editing using mouse wheel to affect the proper amount from top to bottom. Then S to scale it inwards all the way around by moving mouse. Then left click to finish.
Wonderful thanks
Very helpful! I got stock here for so long. Thanks!
I got stuck at 14:50 but you helped, thank you :D
big thanks from me cause I have been suffering from these squared-off drips for about 4 to 5 days. I'm really thankful to you.
still not exactly sure what to do to fix the squared off tips. help?
Thank you so much for making these in-depth tutorials. The community really finds them beneficial and you are just an excellent person for making these videos. Keep up the great work!
At 8:30 if you have the icing mesh clipping through the donut mesh after subdividing, make sure you have the icing mesh selected in the scene collection and in edit mode press A to select all the vertices, press G to grab them, and as soon as you do you’ll see the entire icing mesh snap to the donut surface correctly. Press ENTER. Make sure you don’t move your mouse after pressing G to grab. Just hit ENTER right after. Worked for me. I’m on Blender 3.5 by the way.
thx dude i was having this issue and this solve it. much love
Oh, thank you so much
👍
Didnt work for me . After pressing G all the vertices change their places in a way that the view stands the same but if I change my view angle I find that everything is messed up
Any solution ?
You are my fucking hero m8!
I was trying to solve it for like 20 minutes.
Thanks!
@@ish2153 Yeah same here they all got skewed to one side when I rotate around to check the other side
If the Alt+Left Click to select Edge Loop didn't work for you at 14:39, you can just double click on the edge in between two vertices and it will select Edge Loop. (v3.2.2) :)
Thank you so much.
how? I get stuck.. do not select anything..
Yes, that is how I did it as well.
Thank you
thanks mate. big help
For anyone having the clipping issue with the icing (even with project individual elements) The workaround I've found is making the icing thicker within the solidify panel i'm not sure if that's what's causing it but it has gotten rid of the clipping effect. I hope this helps!
Also make sure your offset in Solidify is set to 1.0!!!
For me just grabing the vertices and pressing G then moving them up along the z axis in the dip worked well for me to pull them out and get rid of the weird spots.
In my case I also turned on 'Backface culling' in the snap menu which seemed to eliminate some of the clipping. Not sure how that's related but it seemed to help.
Try using extrude rather than G, it just work fine for me, I watching previous donut tutorial
wow thank you so much! It worked!
Hands down best tutorial series (in general) that I've seen yet! As a beginner, this makes me absurdly happy!
For anyone watching as recently as me, the 3.6 version of blender is slightly different when it comes to snapping to Face like he does at 4:44 ish. On the version he uses in the video there is only one option for Face and in the 3.6 version there is Face Project and Face Nearest. I'm no expert, so i have no clue what the difference is, but i got my snapping to work how his did in the tutorial by shift selecting both Face Nearest and Face Project and checking the boxes for Project Individual Elements and Snap to Same Target. I just needed to do some minor adjusting of the shape of the donut under the icing to fix some minor clipping that this didn't avoid, but this method was the closest i could figure out to what he did. Let me know if there's a more correct r exact way to stop all that clipping in the 3.6 version!!
ADDING: ive seen several others also suggest checking that your icing is thick enough in the Solidify Modifier after setting up the Snap Tool like i did, so though id add that here!
thanks so much for letting everybody know I was trying to figure it out and this fixed it
Thank you, thank you so much for this advice - wonderful help!@@aliceinyoutubeland5436
this helped alot thanks!
thank you!! this was my question exactly
4:25 I had a problem here: Even tho i had Project Individual Elements checked, the icing mesh was still goin through the donut mesh
Solution:
a) Increase thickness of the icing's solidify
b)upon moving the icing vertex and pressing g to move it, theres a hotkey option to Snap Toggle being Shift-Tab. This diables the magnet tool.
Hope this helps!
life saver
THANK YOU i spent 30 mins trying to brute force it to work and your solution fixed it immediately again tks
Thank you so much! Having this issue and solved by your tip!
Its still going throuh ahhh
THANK YOU!!!!
Small observation for 7:30-8:00 (sub-surf modifier): you can't apply the sub-surf while you're in Edit mode. If you want to apply sub-surf, "Tab" out of Edit mode and then apply.
THANK YOU!!!
Haaaaa... THANK YOU!
OMG thank you so much
when i apply the modifier it disapears what can i do to change it again without doing ctrl+z
@@ERROR-gi2lu He adds the modifier back in a little bit after that.
Hey! Glad to make it back. I'm a bit over an hour in accounting to my comment on the first video. Probaby close to two hours. So far no mistakes made and this tutorial is very well made. Getting use to how blender functions is what slows me down, but pausing and rewatching parts as i go and this donut is beautiful. Thank you. After this video its off to bed and I'll see you in the morning!
the "congrats on not giving up...yet" really got me, im gonna keep trying!! im not going to lie this has been so frustrating for me but i dont want to give up, vfx is something ive been wanting to get into for years now but never had the courage. however, your videos have made this sooooo much better along with the comment section, everyone is so nice and helpful
after doing the first 3 parts and getting halfway through this one pretty late at night, i decided to go to bed. while pulling my blanket over me i suddenly realized that the same method you teach us to make the icing could also be used as a first set of steps in making clothing for character models! i had the whole lightbulb moment where all the pieces just fit together. i am glad i took the advice of your seminar on how to improve as an artist because if i had just kept powering through instead of taking a break i might not have made that connection for later! i am nowhere near making character models (yet!) but when i get there i already know how to start the clothes. and it is all thanks you and your donuts! XD thanks Blender Guru!
This is as far as I've seen from other tutorials a very common way to do clothes on models. Just select, duplicate, scale, solidify
@@weakamna i figured that lol. i was pointing out that his tutorials teach us the tools well enough to not have to be told that in another tutorial. he teaches us enough about the tools to have these ideas ourselves. which makes him a good teacher. :)
@@kspayton Oh, fair enough, that's very true.
omg, after he said that in the other tutorial i also thought the same exact thing haha. excited to try that out when i am eventually skilled enoigh to model 3d characters.
I had the same realization!
14:41 if alt+left click isn't selecting edge loops for you, then try going to edit>preferences>input and make sure "emulate 3 button mouse" is unchecked
Thank you ! this was driving me nuts trying to figure out what i was doing wrong.
If you're on a tablet and need emulate mode on you can double-click the edge near the vertice to select the loop.
Thanks a ton, I was just having this problem.
Thank you so much!!! looking for this... ❤️
@@mkrick thanks!
Took me three tries to get to the end of it. :D The first time the program crashed, the second time the glaze turned spiky at around the shrinkwrapping stage for reasons unknown, but right now it's just perfection. Looking forward to the rest of the tutorial.
Trying 3d modelling again after a few years break. Glad to see you are still doing great tutorials!
This is amazing! It's been years since I did any 3D modeling and you're really helping me dust off my skills and get back into the flow. thank you for the help
I didnt finish the first donut tutorial too long ago, it was about a month ago and then I did my own project of a brownie to see what I could do. I also had 2 other failed attempts at completing the donut tutorial a few years back. But now I can watch these to make sure i actually remember everything I should and learn how Blender 3 is different. You are so legendary for delivering these so quickly.
after a year this video is still amazing and will never be forgotten
I've used Maya and loved it! But as someone who's no longer doing this professionally, Blender is amazing and has come such a long way since first time i tried it (like 10yrs ago). For a non-professional just looking to create personal stuff, Blender is just the thing i was looking for! I miss working in Maya and Zbrush, and this is kind of the best of both worlds, but FREE! Love it.
Quick Tip for Anyone stuck at EXTRUDE at 10:12. I had "Face Nearest" set for my snapping and every time I tried to extrude the mesh would kind of fold in on itself instead of travel down the side of the donut. I switched snapping to "Face Project" and extrude worked exactly like you see in the video. If there's anyone out there that can explain the differences Face Project and Face Nearest, that'd be great. Always good to understand the intent of an option so you know how to apply it.
I was JUST wondering about this, thanks my guy
freaking blender is so bugged
Thank you!
thank you! came to comments to figure that out too
THANK GOD AAAAAAAH i was starting to panic
Thank you for the "congrats on not giving up yet" cuz it was one am, and I litteraly opened blender with the urge to make something but quickly realized I have no clue how to make anything. This series has rlly helped me!
relatable
Those comments about people giving up gives me strength because tells me feeling like droping is perfect normal.
I've watched these tutorials each time you release a new one, I'm now finally attempting them. - Love the intro to this one, viewership dropping XD
For anyone stuck at 15:30 because the shrink wrap modifier clips the icing through the donut even after prioritizing it in the modifier stack, here’s the settings that worked for me:
Wrap method: Target Normal Project
Snap Mode: Outside
Target: Donut
Hopefully I’m not leading anyone astray down the line. This seemingly achieved the same result though. (V3.4.1)

Going through this tutorial right now. I was expecting it to be overwhelming (which it is to a degree) but I have to say, you have a really fantastic way of explaining things and making it easy enough to follow along. I have NEVER used Blender before starting your tutorial because I was intimidated by the idea of 3D modeling even though it was something I always wanted to try.
Thank you for this awesome tutorial and actually motivating me to push through my anxiety and pursue working in Blender!
One of the greatest teachers I've ever had in my life, Andrew thanks a lot for all of your content, you're amazing!
truly is one of the greatest teachers.
You’re welcome mate 😌
@@blenderguru 😊
@@blenderguru pls water sim and geometry nodes
Edit:I mean please add it .it would be fantastic
Zemo have a rly good track record of teaching
Still in this thing! In 3 short lessons while slow at work, I have learned so much! Thanks Guru
If I had waited like 10 more seconds I would have heard you talk about accidentally hitting the snap hotkey. Because I did that, then googled why I couldn't edit vertices anymore. Loving this series so far, thank you!
This was unbelievably simple for a first-time learner! Thank you. I wasn't gonna try to learn Blender but you released a new (third series) on the donut. The steps couldn't be clearer.
u have made The Donut the "hello world" of blender. Thank you for the wonderful tutorial and constant update.
For the icing mesh problem at 8:30 make sure u have the snap tool on and only "Face Nearest" selected, press "A" to select all the mesh and then "G" followed by "LEFT CLICK" or "ENTER"
Thank youu
thanks a lot!!
Thank you. You solved my confusion!
🥲thank u so much!
Thank you so much! Was scratching my head for 20 minutes on this one.
For anyone else using v3.6 that is stuck at 4:23 and tried all the possible combinations in the comments but the icing mesh is still clipping into the donut, what worked for me is making sure the magnet (snap) icon is selected and then on the drop down menu selecting "face project", tick "align rotation to target" and "project individual elements".
works :)
Thanks it worked
thanks
Idk how but I just messed around and it worked, ty
😭
Proportional fall not quite explained at 14:50 but is hotkey "S".
Thank you!....I lost a bit of my life trying to figure it out.
OMGGGG THANK YOU SOO SO MUCH! I WAS LOST FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR!! 🌻
Thanks
Thank you omg!
Wow Andrew, i learned more from 1 hour of this tutorial than i did through 6 hours of doing a course i bought on Udemy. You are an awesome teacher! Thank you very much!
Ironically, the video you mention not giving up has been the video I constantly give up on. I hope I can stick around for the third time!
The congratulating on not giving up acutally makes me happy
Especially since that is not my first time around, not giving up!!
I've been using Blender for many years now, and I have only just now learned of the snapping feature. Here I was feeling like a genius for realising how useful the Shrinkwrap modifier is.
For those having trouble to see 'Face' option at 4:13 (it must be something about the version and I had the same) I would recommend you to select 'Face Nearest' and then toggle 'Snap to Same Target'.
OHH ok thank you I was struggling with figuring out what to do
Yeah, I think Blender made a change there; now there are two "Faces"
Oh thank you, I noticed this changed too in the lastest version of Blender and I couldn't figure it out.
mine still doesnt work
Thanks! it solved my issue. but when i was playing around with it, i dragged the icing to the bottom of the donut and that time it clipped . is there any solution?
3:47 you have to select face project and face nearest both by holding shift and then selecting snap to same target and project individual elements
Thank you !
Thank you so much you are blender god, hallelujah!
liar it dosint work
I got stuck several times in the process, but I didn't give up. I was touched when you said "congrats for not giving up" in the beginning of this video 😂

Might take 5/6 Years tho
@@NaveedKhanYT says who
@@perryberry923 Blender 2.0 was released in the year 2000 and 3.0 is released in the end of 2021 so according to the track record it might be a while before 4.0 comes out
@@NaveedKhanYT oh yeah sorry my bad but the development is pretty fast I am just a huge fan of it
@@NaveedKhanYT they have changed the version numbering style starting with 3.0
No double digit decimal releases (aka no 3.11 etc)
They'll do 8 major releases per version so it will go from 3.0-3.7

3.3 and 3.7 would be LTS releases with 2 year support
4.0 is aimed to release around late 2023 or early 2024
If you have a second monitor you can create an extra window with Shift + dragging from the little spot. Took me a while to find out but helps a lot if you have multiple monitors

I like how at this point the donut modeling art is so mapped out that we've got a "how it's made" style video demonstrating how the donut got a ring around it. Well done!
So first time I'm getting into any kind of software like this and these videos are great, usually I find it difficult to pay attention to things never mind following along but these videos are great and I seem to be getting the hang of things really fast watching your videos
OMG! This is a nice challenge for the brain 😂 the more I go through this tutorial the more patient I become. Thank you for this series!
You might not see this, but i am speaking from the bottom of my heart.
When i was in Uni a couple of years ago, i always thought i wanted to do 3D. It was such wishful thinking, that i was actually not prepared to experience the full processes of getting into 3D. Meshes, Textures, UV unwrapping. I had to use Maya, which was sort of a struggling experience for me (Don't get me wrong, Maya can be good!).
Also chalked up to the fact that for some reason, i don't 'Get' things right away until much later. Because of Maya, I actually still struggle trying to understand UV unwrapping, which sadly, is something i should have picked up on. Then they made us use the older version of Blender. Which actually made me turn off from the program as a whole.
So when i had to take 3d animation classes for the second time, i decided to try brave myself and out Blender. And the first thing that comes up as a beginner Tutorial? It was your first Donut Tutorial. It did take a while for me to get used to it. But one day, suddenly it all clicked for me. I don't know how, but i was able to model various things, and the concept of Texture painting was MUCH more fun than with my experience in Maya!
I am still learning more on how to get better. But i was able to use Blender to create backgrounds for a Manga project i had to work on in my last Semester. And now? I'll be graduating soon!
Sorry for the super long post. But i just thought i should share you my journey. There was something about your tutorials that seriously pulled me in, wanting to learn more. So Thank you Blender Guru! You made me to not completely give up 3D modelling!
niiice, im only 12 years old trying to learn too. i understand it perfectly. i don't find any kids in my age trying blender, not in youtube atleast
@@sayhansnotok5645 For how long have you been using Blender so far?
@@sayhansnotok5645 it doesn't matter if other kid's aren't into this. You're ahead of all the other children just by doing this! Good job

You're on the right path. Don't wait to get started. You'll just be frustrated that you didn't start sooner. It's good to learn useful skills while you're that age. Keep at it homie.
after watching the latest blender guru's series (donut part 4) I was very confused about a few things.. like at 3:55 he says "the point is snapping to the face but, this point is not"..

thank you everyone in the comments for helping
baker's note: doughnut batter is buoyant in oil, so after frying both sides, what you see in the middle is batter that didn't form a crust becuase it wasn't submerged in oil. happy blending! (:
For everyone that has tried to fix the clipping, check your scale for the donut and icing and thickness. Make sure your scale is at 1. I thought mine was at 1 and it was clipping and then i noticed my scaling was off. So change them to 1 and click the little locks next to them so they dont go back. Hope this helps
Your tutorials are the BEST for beginners like me thank you!
At 14:40 for Mac users it's double clicking a point to select the outer ring of the donut. Thanks Andrew for all the material you create and all the whole blender community for being so wonderful humans!

(Blender 3.04) 10:00 That part is tricky for newer user of blender like me so let me explain... Before creating new vertices go to snap (Magnet) then deselect move and select Scale. Once your vertices are created you'll notice that your mesh didn't snap with the lower part of the donut... To make it snap to the lower part simply go to snap (magnet) deselect scale and select Move. Once this is done click on one of your vertices you just created and press "G" to automatically snap it !
Please, don't give up like I did many time, take blender as an odd video-game instead.
I hoped that help Blender Guru and viewers !
I even closed the computer before reading this, i was done hahahah. Thank you
thx a lot... stupid question, but how can I undo the new vertices? I can't think straight atm. :,)
@@faun_fatale Control-Z undoes what you just did.
I found an easier way.
Hold Control to select your vertices, press E, hold Control while moving them, press left click to confirm, repeat.
you have saved many lives
If you're having trouble with the scaling of the extruding (if it's going the wrong way), go onto the snapping tool and in the options at the bottom it says 'move' 'rotation' and 'scale' if you select scale the extruding snaps to the donut correctly :)
tysm
thanks you!
See my comment above, it still does not stay on top of the donut shape, sinks into it.
I have problem with it doesn’t wanting to get really on top of donut but rotating around it
Thanks for that. I'm relearning blender and the last time I touched it was version 2.8 I think
Makes me so happy watching this guy
Y'all, if the snap is going through the donut still, Shift click on both "Face Nearest" and "Face Project" which should combine them and allow you to click both "Project Ind. Elements" and "Snap to same target" also make the icing thicker!
ty this fixed it for me. donut doesn't clip through icing when I drag the icing down a lot anymore
hey while extruding im having jagged ends and not round edges, do you know why?
You saved me at 8:30
I'm gonna name my firstborn after you.
This feels illegal, i feel like you broke the matrix .. THANK YOU!!!
Your tutorials are a godsend! Been having a lot of fun following them =D
Thanks for the great tutorials! I'm an oil painter who likes sculpting and am loving the complicatedness of this art form. I also love certain computer games, so this is like a computer game that results in some nifty art. I've been wanting a donut ever since the first lesson which is the only tiny downside to the tutorials, hahahahaha!
Lol
If anyone is having trouble with the snaping part, check if in the snap options at the bottom is marked Affect: Move. I know it's a simple thing, but I was having trouble with snaping for about 1 hour and now it's solved!
What the heck. I've been struggling for 20min to get it to work. Tried a bunch of different tips from commenters and this is the one that worked. Thanks!!
6 Days to be exact until now TT
Hi, i just downloaded Blender and your videos are really usefull for me, your style of explaning seems comfortable! Thanks, Keep up the good work
15:20 If the shrinkwrap "failed adding value" make sure you used it for the icing and not for the donut. The two mesh have their own modifier handling (top right you can switch cam, donut, icing and light) you have to switch to icing and then use the shrinkwrap.
It's kinda obvious, but I had a problem with it, took some minutes to figure it out.
Have a nice journey!
THANKYOU, I ALSO GO STUCK HERE😃
My hero of the day! I was thinking "what the hell am I doing wrong??" I'm in Object Mode, clicked on the icing, etc...
This fixed it, thank you so much!
You're a lifesaver
Thank you, you saved my precious time!
What do we do if the icing mesh is clipping though the donut after adding the shrink wrap modifier?
For those still struggling with icing clipping inside the donut instead of wrapping. I found that my results were much better after applying the original subdivision modifier and adding then adding a new one, as done a little later in the video.
Very helpful, thanks.
If you see that everything moves while using G, while in G mode use your scroll wheel so that the circle goes smaller (or bigger) , it will only affect the area within the circle
YOU are the G. thank you!
You’re a lifesaver. Thanks so much
Good looking out, bro. I was wondering why the middle of my donut was bulging outwards.
THANK YOU 😊
Thanks bro you are life saver!
I have rewatched the first 4 parts over 5 times, following everything you do except not using metric so I'm using my own imperial values, when I get to shrinkwrap modifier my donut shape clips through my icing in random places. Not sure how to fix and there has to be a better way than manually selecting and moving every vertex I need to smooth out. This is a very challenging program to learn with no prior experience.
11:40
actually, i'm an ex Maya user and switching over to Blender was the best thing I've ever done
i could write a 50 page paragraph on why I hate Maya and how Blender is better in every possible way, don't worry about it
This is magnificent to hear
How could you cheat on maya?
completely agree, still have to use maya at work mainly because the skeleton seems to be quite different from blender. Do you know about any tutorial that would help me with this?
I'm in the same boat, I learned Maya because of art school and Have switched to Blender recently. Never looking back!
@@asr59 There's a course on Udemy by Riven Phoenix (no relation, I assume, to River Phoenix) called "Blender Character Rigging For Beginners HD". He's a really great teacher, and the videos go step-by-step on how to set up a complete, detailed skeleton for a human model, including Inverse Kinematics. Once you go through that course you'll know everything there is to know about rigging in Blender.
The only thing I would caution you on is that the tutorials are in an older version of Blender, and a few things have changed between that version and 3.0 (mostly involving, I think, the use of "layers"), but it should be pretty easy to figure that stuff out.
I am loving this! Thank you so much. It is easy to follow and informative.
If, like me, you are struggling for hours to understand why ALT+Lelf Mouse to make the radial selection won't work. 14:40. It's because you selected the "Emulate 3 Button Mouse" option in the first video, so ALT now behaves like the middle mouse button. Double-Click the edge instead. Simples!
I'm having a blast following along! Thank you!
Just finished this part, super excited for the next one!
Thanks for another great tutorial. It feels comforting knowing theres 2 mil people also trying to figure this shit out xD
Congratulations to everyone nice work😍
Here's what worked for me in this order:
face nearest
include non edited
snap to same target
under the affect bar select move.
after you have moved your icing where you want it, turn on the solidify modifier again and should of worked.
PS: These were not by me but some other guy whose comment is very obscure and it works. Thx @Swifty
What about if my icing snaps to the inside of the donut? I can't seem to fix that
Edit: oh if the actual advice isn't from you then nevermind but thanks anyways this helped me a lot to fix the snapping but then it only made it snap to the inside of the donut
Thx man
Nice! thank you and the other dude!
although for some reason after i used extrude my icing was snapping to x or y axis, so i pressed middle mouse button couple times and its fixed
@@abdel2894 could you fix that??
@@TatataG I couldn't sorry
I've given up on most things I've attempted in my life, I'm kinda glad now that I made it to part 4 lol. This is a very well made tutorial, thank you very much for helping those of us who are trying to find new hobbies
Hey, how's everything going now with Blender or did you move on to other things? I hope everything is well.
Dayum im almost giving up tho lol cuz i've been going back and fourth parts 3-6 because of icing clipping through the donut instead of just staying on top of it. Nice one btw
3:32 i asked myself exactly this question, i searched everywhere and never found an answer. i finally understand. thank you
Thank for the motivational speech in the introduction 😁 and thx for the playlist. Very helpful and easy to follow 👍
For those stuck in the EXTRUSION part. I spent like two hours of frustration, I extruded and the edge and it was overlapping, it also did not let me pull the edge downwards. I believe there is a bug but if you toggle on/off the "grab" (G key-shortcut) and make the size smaller or larger it fix the problem and the extrusion becomes "unstuck".. also switching between edit and object mode seems to help. I also have the "face project and face nearest" selected (use shift so select both options).
for me pressing E, than CTRL and dragging worked
@@hannamarin1234 i tried and it works as well however for me it stops being stuck to the actual donut. did you have similar issues?
@@deunin i do, i ll try to fix it and tell you
@@deunin i found it, you just click on the lowest dot of the droplet you made, like the last one, and then you go to the proportional editing falloff and you click on inverse square, then you click g on the dot you clicked and voila, it fixes itself for some odd reason...took me while to find out about this, since no one made a video on it, so I hope it helps you :)
Funny thing is I actually use to work in a bakery that made donuts. Can confirm... we would put the donuts in (without machines) - let them cook one one side, then use wooden sticks to rotate them to the other side. This leaves the middle part not cooked as much as the other two sides
At around 4:00 everyone seems to be having this snapping problem, and I did too. I tried to fix it with literally anything I could think of, before I gave up and decided having a wonky donut is fine. Then, miraculously, I went to start doing the icing, and it worked totally fine. IT WAS PROPORTIONAL EDITING THE WHOLE TIME!!! I have no idea why this worked, but it did. Idk if it'll work for anyone reading this but it's worth a shot.
(I'm using 3.4.1 if anyone is curious, also the snapping settings I have on are face project, include non-edited, snap to same target, and affect move.)
Oh noice but Wdym with the Proportional editing that you said btw?
@@Erebus_official That was a month ago so I don't quite remember haha. Maybe try switching proportional editing on/off and see which one works?
Really need to make an updated version of this. I've wasted hours trying the 100+ different fixes in the comments to the icing clipping issue with no success.
To reverse applied sub-division modifier, can use decimate modifier (reduce by the same factor as you subdivided).
if this method did not work a better way to do it is at the top -> select edge option menu-> select xray mode at top left -> select the entire donut -> select unsub-divide. Cheers.
IF YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO EXTRUDE
switch, in the snapping menu, "move" to "scale" in the "affect" section and create your drooly bits. you might have to delete or undo some of the vertecies you accidentally created
IF YOUR DROOLY BITS ARE NOT SNAPPING PROPERLY TO THE DONUT
switch back the "affect" section to "move" and, after selecting the drooly bits, press "G" (vertex slide) and they will snap to the donut
hope this helps :D
thanks a lot, it was very helpful
thank you! 🙏
I was stuck at that point, thank you very much man
do you mean have both scale and move selected or just scale?
@@flyingbasstv Just scale, having move will not work
Blender 3.6 here. For the dripping, it worked for me with 0.001 thickness, snap set on "Face Nearest" plus checked "Project Individual Elements" and "Snap to same target" boxes. Hope it helps!
At 10:20 if you are not able to extrude properly, it's probably because you have read the pinned comment and selected "Face Nearest" in the "snap with" tool. Change it to "Face Project" and it will start working properly.
life saver, thank you brother
Video production tip to those making tutorials in Blender 3.0.0:
The new default theme introduces a vignette effect to the background of the 3D viewport. Blender uses dithering to smooth out the color banding; however, video compression eliminates the dithering, and thus, the color banding returns. You may wish to disable this option, if you don't like how it looks in your videos for TH-cam.
Preferences -> Themes -> 3D Viewport -> Theme Space (way at the bottom) -> Gradient Colors -> Background Type : set to Single Color
(On a separate note, some users have complained that the dithering of the vignette leads to flickering on their display. Those users should also disable this feature.)
nicee
I have also noticed the vignette thing and it's a bit annoying. Tnx for sharing how to eliminate it
after watching the latest blender guru's series (donut part 4) I was very confused about a few things.. like at 3:55 he says "the point is snapping to the face but, this point is not".. I didn't really understand what he meant and then project individual element feature.. so plz help me with that part..
8:32 It would be good to note how to report bugs like the one you saw for others to learn how to report bugs. Presumably you would want to undo the apply, then save the file. Close and re-open Blender and re-open the file and see if the apply reproduces the same bug, and if so, upload that file and reproduction steps as a bug report.
i did reopen blender and then open the file and it fixed the bug for me
