- Tomte 6y agoThe donut tutorial didn't capture me for some reason. Grant Abbitt has a nice short tutorial on YouTube, but I like this submitted one the best, because the scene is so beautiful, the teacher compresses an insane amount of material into those few videos, and it's very very accessible to a 3D newbie like me. Also it shows quite advanced things like cloth simulation, physics simulation (to let the apples fall into the bowl in a naturally-looking way).
- raxxorrax 6y agoIt was a joke to a degree. I am no mechanical engineer but my collogues often joke about how creating the donut is an important part of their unofficial curriculum to learn handling CAD. They often refer beginners to it, so "have you modeled the donut?" may be the first question new people hear. They use different tools than blender for their mechanical designs, but I think it is actually a good introduction about the concepts of any modelling tool. It is also interesting for programmers that want to dabble with 3D engines because you know about the pipeline from modeling to rendering.
