I love purple, so instead of a pink donut shown in the tutorial, I decided to go with a vibrant, purple donut when messing around with materials. Rather than just show you exactly what to do to make a donut, he encourages you to explore Blender and play around with the tools. I love the Donut Tutorial because Andrew Price clearly and quickly explains what tools do. At this level we used it to create the lumps and bumps across the donut, making it less look computerized, and more realistically flawed. I did not previously know about (or at least completely forgot about) the proportional editing tool, which will save me a lot of time modeling in the future. Since I was already acquainted with most of the principles in this level from my past experiences using Blender, this level was a breeze.
Level 1 seemed to be primarily about familiarizing me with Blender’s UI and basic 3D modeling. The tutorial is separated into 4 distinct levels, each focusing on different tools and capabilities of Blender. Because of the new Blender, the new tutorials, and all the free time I had this summer (thanks COVID-19!), I decided to complete the new tutorial and log my thoughts. Andrew Price, the creator of Blender Guru, has since created a much more comprehensive tutorial for Blender 2.8 (Blender 2.8 has been praised for improving the program's user experience that has been traditionally known for its extremely confusing UI and keyboard shortcuts). I first started the Donut Tutorial in 2018 to learn Blender when creating custom assets for my Magic Leap application: Ghost Runner.
I highly recommend the tutorial if you’re curious to get into 3D art, but don’t want to sink your life savings into ultra-expensive modeling software like Z-Brush or Maya just yet.
If you follow along with the videos, you will create a photorealistic cafe scene, complete with a cup of coffee and a donut on a plate. The tutorial is concise, down-to-earth, and perfectly friendly for those who have zero experience with 3D modeling (like me). The first video in the tutorial series has over 3.5 million views and there’s even a subreddit dedicated to sharing pictures of your sprinkle-showered progress. Anyone who has tried to independently learn Blender, a free and open-source 3D creation suite, has likely come across the famous Blender Guru Donut Tutorial.
