i can't thank you enough for this video, the donut tutorial just wasn't cutting it . i got to episode eleven before i realized i didn't even remember what i learned in episode two , despite the fact i was closely following along the entire way through , and that was partly the issue , i was just following along . i tried restarting and even taking notes like it was an actual class , but then that just took the fun out of it , so now i'm watching this video as a refresher , and it's helping me out so much more than the donut tutorial did not to hate on the donut tutorial , but this is just so amazingly better for people in my position where even though they followed the tutorial and made the donut , they were basically just copying the work he was doing . thank you a million times over dude
Yeah I did the same thing. had to go back to previous tutorials on donut a lot. But I am thinking to start this. Thanks your comment helped me in the decision.
saaaame! no hate to blender guru, but he doesn't explain exactly what you're doing and why. it is literally just for making a donut. all I learnt from his lessons were the navigation hotkeys lol.
SO just fyi, if one is learning blender via tutorial and switching between the video and the software on different screens and then forgets to click into blender again before pressing 1 to look front on, they will be taken straight to 6.25 and immediately jump-scared by Suzanne the Monkey overlaid with a scream. 😂 Theoretically... Totally didn't happen to me many.. many times. 😅 In all seriousness though! This tutorial was amazing and so very helpful! I am so thankful for finding you. I've tried a couple of times over the years to start learning blender after playing around in DAZ Studio for years and wishing I could make my own meshes but this is definitively the farthest I've ever gotten and I am so proud of my little low poly scene. 🥰 I'm nearly finished the second vid in the series but stuck on the bike. I'm going to move on to geometry nodes for a bit and come back to it with fresh eyes. Thank you so so much for taking the time to make these amazing, informative tutorials! ❤
Also just want to say that as a beginner, the shortcuts are so overwhelming so I really really appreciate that you repeat them every single time because it becomes somewhat of a mantra and makes it easier to learn. Shift A, mesh, cube, tab edit mode, G Z 1, tab object mode, scale it down. Pretty sure most of that is from the second tutorial. But I will remember it and probably think it every time I add a new mesh to the viewport for a long time to come. 😂
Bro. Lol Blender Guru could never. Like I'm in the middle of his donut and I'm going to finish it because I already had this goal. But if I would have found you first I would not have touched his video. I'm not trying to like speak badly of him because he's awesome but I'm 2 minutes in and you have taught me so much. I appreciate the effort and time this took you and that pdf is about to be an absolute game changer for me. I'm just in awe of the 3d community in general and I'm in a state where I feel like I found the love of my life, blender. Lol
Thank you so much, I've learned so much and enjoyed the video and the learning, I did struggle with the well and the size of the bricks. if anyone else is having trouble with that I have these measurements: X =0.35m Y =0.2m Z =0.23m
'liked' even before i was 2 minutes in, i'm loving your empathy for users in the way you introduce ways to interact with your (and other) videos on youtube, especially helpful for tutorials, thank you! I'm a complete beginner with blender, and am looking forward to the rest of this content :)
after ages of wanting to learn 3d i got started with this tutorial and learned the ropes pretty quickly! the donut tutorial was always a little unclear to me and i felt like it didn't teach much, so i'm going through a bunch of your tutorials. so far it's been great!
THANK YOU FOR THIS. I'm trying out 3d animation and no other tutorials help. This one is long yes, but it covers everything and genuinely explains it well. Idk how some people try to explain it within a 15 minute video. This helped me a lot.
The way you teach works for anything we want to make, not just donuts! You're teaching the tools and how they interact so we can be creative and find our own solutions instead of just "To make this object, follow these steps".
Not to dunk on other creators here, just sharing that for me, this not only helped me understand what I was doing but solidified that a lot more than when I did the donut thing
i tried to follow the famous donut tutorial and got so frustrated nothing seemed to work out! this video is what every beginner should start with. thank you so much for all your time and effort.
This videos is EXTREMELY comprehensive and I absolutely love it!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this and uploading it so all us plebs can learn how to 3D model stuff! I've just barely gotten started, but already I'm loving how explanatory you are with everything and how easy you make the navigation sound. I don't feel so hopeless with you helping me along this Blender journey!
This is quite frankly the most well structured and best Blender tutorial videos!!! I was honestly surprised when I saw the view count on this video! It deserves to be in the millions!!! Keep it up!!! 💜
WOW ! A beginner tutorial that's actually for beginners. Thank you. I just started Blender 4 and have looked at so many "beginner tutorials" and it's clear that they are not remembering how it was when they were beginner's. You have helped me understand how things work and I can actually follow along because you are explaining everything you are doing and we don't have to figure out what you did.. thank you.
Thanks for the video. You showed a lot that others skipped over, mainly with the very basic stuff that most assume is widely known or something. Also all of the time you repeated the shortcuts really helped them stick a bit better. Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos on blender
Finally a beginners tutorial I can actually follow, thank you so so much for saying what keys each shortcut you use, this makes a huge difference to a complete novice like me
just finished! best tutorial honestly! i went off and made a night cycle as well with lights seemingly coming from the windows of the houses! just subbed you're awesome!
Finally, a "Beginner's tutorial" that lives up to its name. :) This is excellent and thank you so much for putting it together and setting chapter bookmarks. I'm using Blender 4.2, but the information in this video still looks quite accurate. I'll be using this as a reference as I get more into Blender! (And yes, I've done the doughnut tutorial too, and while it is a good intro to mesh manipulation in Blender, THIS video is what I needed to start understanding the general workflow of creating scenes and objects, from the basics)
Hi Joey, warm greetings from Indonesia. I want to thank you for making this tutorial. It helps me a lot and please don't delete this video so I can always get back here everytime I need help.
2 minutes in and you have already provided so much more information than so many others. And you have done it in such an easy to understand way. Your organization is absolute top tier! Thank you so much for making this! As a viewer I can clearly tell how seriously you take this and also how much you love making these videos. P.S. The cheat sheet is a god-send. I am very overwhelmed by all the shortcuts in Blender. You have no idea how nice it is to have someone make a shortcut cheat sheet for you.
I know it's a year late but I agree, maybe I just didn't want to watch 30, 20 minute videos, it may be more in depth but I also think it's just too much and the donut isn't very interesting
You are so amzing, love how informedyou are about all sorts of your audience. You explain way better than most of my teachers. Definately sticking around
I am enjoying watching this tutorial with all these "short" demand details without over-talking and making me lose motivation...simple, useful & fast...cheers sir.
I thoroughly the effort you've put in there! There is only one thing I would suggest is that you get "Power toys" for windows, and use the cursor finder while filming stuff like this. Double tap CTRL to highlight the mouse
Thank you for this video! I did the donut tutorial a few months ago, but I fell off of blender almost as soon as I finished it. This was a great way for me to go back over the basics without having to go through that entire tutorial again. Hopping into your modeling tutorial now!
Yesss! I don’t need the basics, but I adore how you simplify technical stuff like geometry nodes and rigging. So I’ll absolutely be recommending you to everyone wanting to get started now with Blender in general like I already recommend you for geometry nodes! 😁
Man, congrats. Just made a video in such a profesional way is an amazing thing. You should be paid by YT just for the quality. On top of that, you explain very well. I feel sorry I can not help with your patreon.
Thanks a lot, Joey - this was very helpful! I'm really glad I started learning with this tutorial, 1 hour of watching and 4 hours of following along - and I can now find my way around the tool and watch a number of other guides without being lost in the controls.
THIS was the first tutorial I could properly follow and complete, thank you. I am so excited to learn more and will use the rest of your content as you are SO through and easy to follow along with.
Took me a few days to complete this but I learned so much more than the popular donught tutorial. Going to start your modeling beginners video now! Trying to prepare for making character models for a small indie game.
This tutorial was so detailed! It's my first time using blender in over 10 years and with all the new features and upgrades I was so insanely overwhelmed. But this video made it so much easier to re-learn everything I had lost. I made a post with my render on the discord and am hopping into the next tutorial now!
I'm at the point with blender where in getting really good at making simple things without a tutorial, but I still watch tutorials to keep refreshed on how to do things. And today you are that lucky video to watch. Sorry Blendr Guru ❤
Bloody hell this was fun ! Learned so much. Hardest part, was to figure out and get used to camera movement and I accidentally without knowing in the beginning moved 3d cursor... Which only made things harder until further on reaching clear explanation about pivot points lol. Thank you o/
@@leonstone3443unfortunately not too much. I was doing this with some extra time at work and we’ve been pretty slammed since I was doing this. It’s still on my radar though.
@@leonstone3443this is still the best explanation that clicks with me based on other software I use and how I work. So I’ll definitely be coming back here
i am not a beginner, ive been using blender for abt a few yrs .. i am here just to see your ways of doing things and see what i can learn :) because i love how u explain things
Thanks for telling me not to get overwhelmed. I'm sitting here going man, it's great to have all the keybinds for m/kb, m, emulated configs, but man is it a lot😅. Great video! Thank you
Thank you for this! I just started my blender journey and your video and the way you teach is extremely helpful. I will be watching all of the videos in the beginner playlist. Thank you for doing this. You're an awesome human!
Fantastic tutorial, thank you. I used to do some CGI back in the mid 90s-00s, with 3Dstudio MAX, and this is exactly what I needed to sort out some rusty knowledge! Great pacing.
You are seriously good at this Joey. Thank you. I would suggest you re-create your tutorials when 4.3 drops to stay relevant. Thanks for the face/face project info. I was going nuts. Keep up the good work.
An absolutely fantastic tutorial. I feel so much more confident opening up blender. I might not be able to recreate a masterpiece like this in an hour, but with practice I'll get there. Thank you so much for this amazing content!
Joey, I thought I should point out that the "F9" hotkey is not a "construction history" but a "last action" meaning if you click on the object after fiddling around with other objects or even moving the object "F9" won't allow you to define the parameters again. I spent hours watching and rewatching the video trying to get back to the parameters with "F9". i thought my keyboard was broken. so I tried that hotkey on three different keyboards. googled and searched what was going on and found what happened. I still love the tutorial, don't take this as a criticism in ANYWAY. I still don't understand the workings of Blender to even suggest if a construction history would even work much less make a suggestion for a cool addon that would allow you to reconfigure the parameters way after the fact, but it would be awesome if it were possible.😁
I'm halfway through this tutorial right now and I gotta say, I think I'm doing a pretty good job following this video. Although, I had trouble figuring out the camera controls and shortcuts, the PDF was just simply a life saver! I didn't quite get 100% of what he's making, but at least it looks a little bit close to the original thing! I am learning little by little..
I've just started learning blender by watching tutorials for beginner on TH-cam. You explain things so clearly and very easy to follow. Definitely helped a lot. Thank you so much!
Update: I figured it out myself, just F3 and search "pivot point" and choose the the "median point" option. I had an issue in the Selection section of your video when selecting multiple objects and rotating them they do rotate independently and not as a whole object like in you video. I made right click while selecting the objects and selected the "Join" option to rotate them and that worked for me but I don't see an option to undo the Join option other than Ctrl+Z. Maybe is because I'm using version 4.2.3 Other than that your tutorial has been so far very useful!
Appreciate this video, it is absolutely perfect for beginners. Thank you for explaining the things everyone assumes us to know. Every click, every key. Ur the bestttt
This video is AWESOME, all the shorcut ALWAYS EXPLAINED is so helpful ! Thanks a lot for the lesson, I really can start using blender without feeling lot, thanks a lot :D
Just finished this great video and i really need to thank you, it helped A LOT ! you did great job explaining, editing so its entertaining and educational aswell. next stop is modeling vid :) thank you, keep up the great work :)
So I'm at roughly the 37:30 mark and when making the water for the well, I thought I would download some PBR materials and turned em on in the addons menu - when I put the texture onto the cylinder, _everything_ else vanished and refuses to come back (I've hit all the H shortcuts, checked the eyeballs off and on, changed views with the number pad, switched back and forth between object and edit mode, switched to material mode and back... Nothing is working to bring all my objects back 😢
This is probably the best beginners tutorial I’ve seen. Easy to follow and very enjoyable to watch. You got a like and subscribe from me, sir. I look forward to watch more of your videos.
Every single mentor says that if you even clicked once after you created a mesh then the initial settings menu will go away forever. But this guy proved that they all are nothing but illiterate.😃
‘Period’, or ‘full stop’ as we say in English, does not centre the highlighted object you say it does. Instead, it brings up a rotational menu. Also, letting go and reclicking the Shift key seems to require you to also let go of the middle mouse button. I tested my keyboard on Sketchup and there’s nothing wrong with my keyboard. Does Blender have some kind of Accessibility-style sticky keys turned on by default, because this will get really tiring, really quick.
OMG! I absolutely love the way you teach. you have a wonderful style that helps beginners like me feel at ease. i've been trying to get going on the more complex modeling but always get stuck on the simple stuff like user interface and how the heck do i find the "fill-in-the-blank" because other tutorials assume the user somehow intuitively knows where stuff is and how to get back to things just opened up? I usually spend more time trying to find the cube i just made and how to center it on the screen before i just give up and walk away. thanks for understanding that and showing the little frustrating things and anticipating that beginners can get lost and overwhelmed. i almost wish that blender would have a tab just for beginners and progressively add tabs as you learn new skills. and I simply love your avatar! so cute. please keep teaching and, i haven't checked, but do u do a video on how you made the avatar?
I'm happy to help. My next video is about how I make my avatar scenes, but I also have a playlist about character modeling that will have better step-by-step videos
Incredible content. Want to start doing this and your videos are just amazing. Thanks for taking the time to create them. Really easy to follow and clear.

Yesss! I don’t need the basics, but I adore how you simplify technical stuff like geometry nodes and rigging.
So I’ll absolutely be recommending you to everyone wanting to get started now with Blender in general like I already recommend you for geometry nodes! 😁
Man, congrats. Just made a video in such a profesional way is an amazing thing. You should be paid by YT just for the quality. On top of that, you explain very well. I feel sorry I can not help with your patreon.
I'm happy to help, don't worry about patreon
Everyone who is new to blender needs this video!! I thought I had the basic stuff down but there are so many helpful tips in here. Thank you!!
Thanks a lot, Joey - this was very helpful! I'm really glad I started learning with this tutorial, 1 hour of watching and 4 hours of following along - and I can now find my way around the tool and watch a number of other guides without being lost in the controls.
THIS was the first tutorial I could properly follow and complete, thank you. I am so excited to learn more and will use the rest of your content as you are SO through and easy to follow along with.
Took me a few days to complete this but I learned so much more than the popular donught tutorial. Going to start your modeling beginners video now! Trying to prepare for making character models for a small indie game.
I love the perspective shifting hallway that smoothly transitioned to the viewport. Amazing stuff!
This tutorial was so detailed! It's my first time using blender in over 10 years and with all the new features and upgrades I was so insanely overwhelmed. But this video made it so much easier to re-learn everything I had lost. I made a post with my render on the discord and am hopping into the next tutorial now!
I'm at the point with blender where in getting really good at making simple things without a tutorial, but I still watch tutorials to keep refreshed on how to do things. And today you are that lucky video to watch. Sorry Blendr Guru ❤
This was a great refresher after not using Blender for a long time, thank you!
Bloody hell this was fun ! Learned so much. Hardest part, was to figure out and get used to camera movement and I accidentally without knowing in the beginning moved 3d cursor... Which only made things harder until further on reaching clear explanation about pivot points lol. Thank you o/
i was not expecting a general computer literacy course as well as blender, but I love that I got both.
I like how you got straight to the point! Respect!
This is the first time blender has clicked with. Might actually stick with it this time, thanks to you!
did you stick with it??
@@leonstone3443unfortunately not too much. I was doing this with some extra time at work and we’ve been pretty slammed since I was doing this. It’s still on my radar though.
@@leonstone3443this is still the best explanation that clicks with me based on other software I use and how I work. So I’ll definitely be coming back here
@@leonstone3443 yea am curious ngl
hands down the best beginners guide out there
i am not a beginner, ive been using blender for abt a few yrs .. i am here just to see your ways of doing things and see what i can learn :)
because i love how u explain things
Thanks for telling me not to get overwhelmed. I'm sitting here going man, it's great to have all the keybinds for m/kb, m, emulated configs, but man is it a lot😅. Great video! Thank you
this is gonna help so many people. good luck to everyone trying to learn blender!
Thank you for this! I just started my blender journey and your video and the way you teach is extremely helpful. I will be watching all of the videos in the beginner playlist. Thank you for doing this. You're an awesome human!
I'm learning Blender to enhance my comic book art workflow and you're saving my life here
Fantastic tutorial, thank you.
I used to do some CGI back in the mid 90s-00s, with 3Dstudio MAX, and this is exactly what I needed to sort out some rusty knowledge! Great pacing.
What a fantastic tutorial! Thank you for such detailed and thoughtful instructions and information 👍🙏
Been here 5 seconds and learned a lot of youtube tips xD I been using this platform for like 15 years everyday! Earned an immediate sub lol!
You are seriously good at this Joey. Thank you. I would suggest you re-create your tutorials when 4.3 drops to stay relevant. Thanks for the face/face project info. I was going nuts. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so very, very much. You're just the right speed, focus, and pace for my (aggravatingly) specific learning style. I really appreciate it.
An absolutely fantastic tutorial. I feel so much more confident opening up blender. I might not be able to recreate a masterpiece like this in an hour, but with practice I'll get there. Thank you so much for this amazing content!
Joey, I thought I should point out that the "F9" hotkey is not a "construction history" but a "last action" meaning if you click on the object after fiddling around with other objects or even moving the object "F9" won't allow you to define the parameters again. I spent hours watching and rewatching the video trying to get back to the parameters with "F9". i thought my keyboard was broken. so I tried that hotkey on three different keyboards. googled and searched what was going on and found what happened. I still love the tutorial, don't take this as a criticism in ANYWAY. I still don't understand the workings of Blender to even suggest if a construction history would even work much less make a suggestion for a cool addon that would allow you to reconfigure the parameters way after the fact, but it would be awesome if it were possible.😁
If you are interested in being less destructive with modeling, you should check out the modifiers and geometry nodes
I'm halfway through this tutorial right now and I gotta say, I think I'm doing a pretty good job following this video. Although, I had trouble figuring out the camera controls and shortcuts, the PDF was just simply a life saver! I didn't quite get 100% of what he's making, but at least it looks a little bit close to the original thing! I am learning little by little..
when you accidentally hit "1" on the browser instead blender and you are welcomed by monkey jumpscare. thx joey. (great tutorial srlsy)
I've just started learning blender by watching tutorials for beginner on TH-cam. You explain things so clearly and very easy to follow. Definitely helped a lot. Thank you so much!
This is the best tutorial I’ve watched!! Thank you ❤
Update: I figured it out myself, just F3 and search "pivot point" and choose the the "median point" option.
I had an issue in the Selection section of your video when selecting multiple objects and rotating them they do rotate independently and not as a whole object like in you video. I made right click while selecting the objects and selected the "Join" option to rotate them and that worked for me but I don't see an option to undo the Join option other than Ctrl+Z. Maybe is because I'm using version 4.2.3
Other than that your tutorial has been so far very useful!
You went above and beyond even the pdf 🤯
Really appreciate this step by step tutorial! You're the freaking man for doing this. Thank you!
Appreciate this video, it is absolutely perfect for beginners. Thank you for explaining the things everyone assumes us to know. Every click, every key. Ur the bestttt
This video is helping me sm thank youu, im at minute 15. Ive been pausing it a lot but ive learned so much in these first 15 minutes :)
thank you so much! I enjoyed every second of this and learned so much
This video is AWESOME, all the shorcut ALWAYS EXPLAINED is so helpful ! Thanks a lot for the lesson, I really can start using blender without feeling lot, thanks a lot :D
31:00 The cylinder triangle shows the Z axis sideways after rotation.
Just finished this great video and i really need to thank you, it helped A LOT ! you did great job explaining, editing so its entertaining and educational aswell. next stop is modeling vid :) thank you, keep up the great work :)
So I'm at roughly the 37:30 mark and when making the water for the well, I thought I would download some PBR materials and turned em on in the addons menu - when I put the texture onto the cylinder, _everything_ else vanished and refuses to come back (I've hit all the H shortcuts, checked the eyeballs off and on, changed views with the number pad, switched back and forth between object and edit mode, switched to material mode and back... Nothing is working to bring all my objects back 😢
This is probably the best beginners tutorial I’ve seen. Easy to follow and very enjoyable to watch. You got a like and subscribe from me, sir.
I look forward to watch more of your videos.
the last 15 minutes was helpful to see the hotkeys being implemented repetitively while you talked about what hotkeys you were using
This video is perfect. You offer so much support and work with the viewer. It's really good and very professional, keep it up :D
6 minutes in and im already liking the pace of this video lol
My man making timeless videos!!!! lesss gooooooooo
You make it look so easy! Im gonna watch this one about 10 more times haha THANKS!
in all honesty this video helped so much but im now learning blender is so complicated due to the many different ways to do the simplest things lmao
this should be official tutorial. following by the modeling tutorial in this channel aswell. awesome
Every single mentor says that if you even clicked once after you created a mesh then the initial settings menu will go away forever. But this guy proved that they all are nothing but illiterate.😃
a 1:24 into your tutorial and already learned something new 😀
Thank you for the video man, you've brought the spark back
‘Period’, or ‘full stop’ as we say in English, does not centre the highlighted object you say it does. Instead, it brings up a rotational menu. Also, letting go and reclicking the Shift key seems to require you to also let go of the middle mouse button. I tested my keyboard on Sketchup and there’s nothing wrong with my keyboard. Does Blender have some kind of Accessibility-style sticky keys turned on by default, because this will get really tiring, really quick.
OMG! I absolutely love the way you teach. you have a wonderful style that helps beginners like me feel at ease. i've been trying to get going on the more complex modeling but always get stuck on the simple stuff like user interface and how the heck do i find the "fill-in-the-blank" because other tutorials assume the user somehow intuitively knows where stuff is and how to get back to things just opened up? I usually spend more time trying to find the cube i just made and how to center it on the screen before i just give up and walk away. thanks for understanding that and showing the little frustrating things and anticipating that beginners can get lost and overwhelmed. i almost wish that blender would have a tab just for beginners and progressively add tabs as you learn new skills. and I simply love your avatar! so cute. please keep teaching and, i haven't checked, but do u do a video on how you made the avatar?
I'm happy to help. My next video is about how I make my avatar scenes, but I also have a playlist about character modeling that will have better step-by-step videos
Holy moly you have become a god and that smooth animation
Thank you so much for this tutorial 🫶🫶🫶
Great Video. Was a pleasure to follow along and really easy to comprehend.
2024 I’m sure I’ve commented here at least 3 times, but Joey knows Blender, esp character stuff . 🤙🏽🖤🧨
You deserve so much more subs Joey. Keep grinding!
I really appreciate you making these videos I'm new to blender I wouldn't have never have figured this out on my own so thanks😁
this is the best blender tutorial thanks you.
Incredible content. Want to start doing this and your videos are just amazing. Thanks for taking the time to create them. Really easy to follow and clear.
