Same here...i am total beginner in Blender, i found that many people recommend Donut tutorial (idk why), i managed to get to the part 5 of his tutorial when things were starting to get really complicated and non understandable...i found on reddit that guy named Grant Abbitt is an excellent teacher for Blender, so here i am...i will continue Donut tutorial, hate to leave things half finished, but its not ideal starting tutorial for beginners.

@phantomsmithy 6 месяцев назад

You can REALLY tell when someone has actually taught others. I've been following some of your paid courses and trying to find people on RU-vid with free tutorials has been VERY frustrating. They're either very hard to understand, or they just word vomit at high speed leaving no space to work along unless you're frantically pausing and unpausing. Let alone stopping to explain WHY you're using the tool they're telling you to use. I appreciate you going at the pace of an actual beginner.

I couldn't in good conscience move on to another video without stopping to thank you. I've learned more practical use cases with Blender's features in 45 minutes than I have with hours of other people's stuff and no offense to them it's the truth. As I was adjusting each thing, especially with making the craters, tons of ideas popped in my head like making eyeballs, a water mine, a face and lots of other things. Though you have 20 years experience you haven't forgotten about us beginners and more importantly you're a fantastic teacher at this. Thanks! 🙏

@davidklauka5117 7 месяцев назад

Hey been watching your channel for sometime now and think all your vids are fantastic - here may be a quick tip for you though - after adding an object (like around timestamp 36 mins) and you forget to make those initial adjustments and that menu in the bottom left disappears, instead of deleting the object and re-adding it back in you can simply just have the object selected and hit the F9 key to bring it back - if you have made an adjustment in edit mode it will not bring that menu back and you will have to delete that object or if you add a modifier it will then bring up a menu for that modifier you added to it depending on what modifier you add (sub-surf will allow you to change subdivisions) others may vary. Hope this is a handy tip you can add to your future videos. And keep up the amazing video's, love your work very inspirational.

THANKS for this very helpful video! I've watched a lot of so-called "*beginner* tutorials" for Blender but this is simply the BEST. Everything is explained in an easy-to-follow manner with lots of exercises for the viewer (I think that's the only way to learn the basics of Blender). What I liked also: Finally someone explained the use of the Shading workspace in a way I could understand it. Looking forward to part two already. 😃 So I'm quite sure that I'll purchase your Blender beginner course pack from the description. 😉

I'm mad I didn't have this kind of tutorial when I started a year ago. I once had a mesh covered in doubles and I thought the only way to fix it was to delete one and manually reconnect them all. Wondering how much of my trepidation in making good stuff just comes from that era, when I didn't know a good way to do any operation, much less what any of those operations were called

Maybe I deleted the original cube and made a new one? (I did the first 10 minutes a day ago, don't remember if I did or didn't; regardless - I'm ever so slightly lost at this moment...but I'll keep watching and I'm sure it'll sort itself out.) EDIT: Better yet, have a small dose of patience and in a small bundle of seconds arrives the how to do it.

Is that normal? Not new to Blender, just getting back into it and don't remember this issue. I like to see from underneath to make sure objects are firmly planted on the surface.

Well now at the 14:52 mark and after moving all objects onto the plane I instinctively tilted the scene to view from the bottom and I now can see the plane from the bottom where as it would disappear before

Hi Grant - Any chance you can do a proper video tutorial on sculpting with alphas and textures (with Blender 4). I keep getting horrible results, when I have a subd-4 an object (for high resolution) and I do the brush setting "stamp" the result of the ornament looks like geometry vomited.

@grabbitt 7 месяцев назад

have you checked my sculpting playlist and the video on alpha textures

@josephvanwyk2088 7 месяцев назад

@@grabbitt I have yes, It's quite an old video though - think you did it in 2.8. Any chance you can make a v4.0 doing a through breakdown/overview using brushes with alphas. Also with the proper/desired modifiers. For example, I use mulitres modifier and I keep getting horrible results when I try to use alphas.

Hello @grabbitt This tutorial video (as well as the 2nd part video) seems to have some age restriction set in place. My 12 year old kid can't open/play it, while I can. Is there any way you could fix this, please?

@grabbitt 2 месяца назад

I think there's a setting which is aimed at children or not. For the sake of ease I always say it's not aimed at kids as I have to meet more requirements to allow this. I'm not sure I can change it once released

@mariusmarius3628 2 месяца назад

@@grabbitt First of all, let me tell you something I should have said in my first comment: I really like these Blender tutorials of yours. I really think that they are top shelf stuff. Second of all, many, many thanks for your kind reply. And now, my (humble) opinion about that age restriction technicality : it's not a problem at all if you set your videos to be "not made for kids". That's the name of the settings, I believe, you cand find it in the "Audience" section, where you have 2 options: "Yes, it's made for kids" / "No, it's not made for kids". But right below those 2 option though, you'll find another section: "Age restriction (advanced)". If you click to expand this section, you'll see other 2 options: "Yes, restrict my video to viewers over 18" / "No, don't restrict my video to viewers over 18 only". I think that you set your video(s) to "Yes, restrict my video to viewers over 18". And you definitely CAN change that one it once the video has been released, no problem. It won't affect the number of your views, it won't get you in any trouble at all. Short recap: a video CAN be watched by a kid even it's set to "No, it's not made for kids" (you don't have to change it, it's OK to leave it like that), BUT the age restriction has to be set to "No, don't restrict my video to viewers over 18 only". Don't get me wrong, it's pretty easy for me to let my 12 yo kid watch your tutorials by allowing him acces to RU-vid via my account, but since your videos really don't show any "18+" content at all (at least this 2-part tutorial doesn't, anyway), I don't see any reason for him not being able to enjoy your content using his own account. If you get rid of that "18+" barrier maybe you'll get more young viewers/subscribers/avid learners. My kid would surely be one of them. Thank you again for your kind reply and for your work, which is amazing, please keep it up. You've just got yourself a new subscriber (the oher one is still standing by 😉). And finally, please excuse my English, I'm not a native speaker.
