The chair fag didn't learn anything because he can't even make a doughnut

I tried to follow his tutorial series. Twice. Months apart. But I can't seem to get it

Anon03/18/25, 10:22No.1009546

familiarizes you with many parts of the interface and teaches you a little bit of many parts of blender has you actually make something instead of making you listen to words for 40 minutes straight while you learn nothing

I'm an old blender user. Where do you go these days to find useful articles on things like hair, skin materials, realistic deformations? There used to be a free magazine with useful tips.

i learned how to model some basic stuff by a random hard surface tutorial and a tutorial making a girl in a raincoat. that doughnut was pretty much useless, i didn't remember a thing.

His ponut tutorial teaches you how gay and anti-user friendly bl*nder actually is.

If a donut isn't where a beginner should begin then where should one start?

Anon06/30/25, 10:19No.1014440

No it's perfectly fine for beginners, you just lack creativity

Anon07/01/25, 16:45No.1014512

Imagine getting filtered by pastry LMAOThe tutorial is perfect for absolute beginners. It doesn't go into the weeds with advanced learning. It teaches you all the basics to move on to the next beginner level. Notice how every retard who can't do the donut series ends up just making cris-level waifu abominations, then quitting forever.

Anon07/01/25, 21:26No.1014529

any good pipeline tutorials that show how a concept is turned into a finalized asset? preferably by an industry professional or someone who has industry knowledge

Anon07/03/25, 12:26No.1014618

I remember kids coming up to me in school to ask me to teach them how to study for tests I have no idea, try not being fucking retarded I learned blender with a shitty tutorial where I made an ugly semi-humanoid alien. it taught me how the interface was made for quick keyboard shortcuts. I stuck through it until it clicked and it's second nature to this day then I did the joan of arc tutorial and then I kept going I'm sure you could learn a lot from that donut tutorial. you just need to not be retarded

Anon07/09/25, 19:17No.1014967

This is why blender would never be industry standard the problem is not the idea of a free 3d software the problem the problem is the people behind the software are stupid and retarded. Blender maybe a Jack of all trade but is bad at everything.

Anon07/10/25, 02:24No.1014972

Maybe this is a often answered question, but as an artist who wants to make some landscapes that are relatively detailed, and simple characters to pose in those backgrounds to light and set up scenes then use those to paint, is it feasible to do this kind of thing in Blender or is there a better program for that? Do you think it’s something that will take a ton of time to learn? Trying to decide if I want to pause a project to learn to improve the output in that project or it’s better to just take time and learn over time while doing my usual workflow.

I think the old tutorial for 2.80 was better than the new ones.

He's alright but he wastes so much time when explaining something

Send new friends to Grant Abbitt's website. He has guided courses for free that are designed for teaching new people.

i started with donut and got a job in 3d, tbf its not a very artistic job and its quite simple from 3d aspect

Anon07/25/25, 22:34No.1015836

Blender Guru's doughnut tutorial is good for people who can barelly use a mouse and keyboard but it's terrible for everyone above, specially if you're trying to learn character modeling, animation, etc. There are good tutorials, but you'll need to do some research to find the best one for you. The main problem starts at intermediate level and above. To this day, I was never able to find a good topology tutorial. Most of the videos just tell you to use a plugin or teach you basic shit that doesn't even matter anymore. The solution for me was to watch Maya/3DSmax tutorials. There is some good stuff and 3D softwares share a lot of concepts.Being real, the best ones, imo, were behind paywalls. I watched one of a dude modeling a car and in the first 20 minutes he teaches some of the best shit I ever saw. I also remember watching one of a bald guy modeling a girl and the dude had some ancient wizard knowledge that no other tutorial ever told me.Of course, there's also trash. BlenderBros are retarded. Both their YouTube videos and paid courses are actually garbage that will not teach you shit and instead they teach you to depend on plugins and never talk about topology, edge flow, good practices, etc.Btw, you can easily find those for free online, torrenting, etc. This also applies to plugins. I like to actually buy stuff if I end up liking it, but that's me.

Software engineer did his tutorial for fun, genuinely wanted to get this skill . Made it through. Took extensive digital notes. Never did anything again 3d again. I realized like all things becoming mid tier at this would take 1000 of hours of work. Time I just couldn't invest considering my other goals.I mean this not rudely. In the world of A.I is blender still a useful skill moving into future? Why can't models be created with prompts, I guess base models will be and then the need to finish and modify by hand will still be very useful?

I'm getting filtered right now. Only an hour into the video (but three hours IRL) and my frosting looks worse and worse:-Can't figure out why my viewpoint gets fucked and I can't get back to the default view (where middle button rotates around object) -Tells you how to make frosting..."OOPS gotta snap these drips first" (start over, still don't know if snap always applies, or what project vs nearest is) -"Oh you can't just pull it down or else it'll clip, you need VERTICES" (start over again) -Added vertices get screwed up by Snap, no mention of it -Reload file, models are z fighting, icing vertices are blocked by donut, previous steps do rectify issueThat's day 1 of any new skill, I guess.

Anon08/04/25, 13:55No.1016356

Started Blender yesterday afternoon and this was my attempt at making the donut. Kind of got bored like half way through and turned it into a lamp. Should probably watch the tutorial fully though, no idea for example if this could be exported to a game or scene or anything, nor would I know how to do that.

Fun fact: donuts are the original shape of human life. When an embryo is formed it starts out donut shaped, and as far as I know the hole ends up as our entire digestive tract. Therefore starting your journey into 3d modeling with a donut is philosophically correct.

anyone knows why I can't move the mesh?

Honestly just try and make stuff in blender, I know this seems like some retarded shit to say now but most of blenders stuff you won't use unless you're under a specific use case, just play around and try to have fun while googling things that you may not understand

Anon08/18/25, 20:25No.1017139

i did his tutorials 5 years ago now im character lead at 400 man studio so i have good memories of his tutorialsalso still using blender + retopoflow and for uvs, even if i dont use blender that much anymore

I think a lot of people want it fast when learning 3D is more of a daily grind

Anon08/29/25, 17:10No.1017763

People think that watching his tutorial and putting in minimal effort is all you need to do. But you actually need to be willing to iterate and work on the step you're going through.Same deal with that book "Drawing on the right side of the brain", there are people who finish the work book but didn't seriously engage with any of the exercises and still fucking suck cock after finishing the book, and then there are people who seriously engaged with each of the lessons and come out of it with a different like pic related. If making the Donut taught you nothing, then it's because you weren't willing to learn.

Anon08/30/25, 00:18No.1017785

He's currently scripting the new donut tutorial for Blender 5.0, and he's soliciting advice for changes on Twitter. So if you got bright ideas for making it less shit, now's the time to scream into the void.

Yes. Because watching a 10 minit long video will make me and expert in bl*nder

>want to learn sculpting in Blender >only tutorial is a 3 year old one from version 2.9 >all fucking shortcuts have apparently changed since then except G for Grab brush what the fuck man... and having an EU keyboard fucks you so much because half the keybinds in any application involve Z which is of course swapped with Y

Anon10/04/25, 21:13No.1019632

I don't care to learn how to make models, not yet anyways. Is there beginner tutorials for just posing already made models for someone who never used blender before? Or should I still watch the donut videos?Just trying to get started with making blender porn, I want to share the imaginary scenarios of vidya characters with the world.
