The donut tutorial series covers a lot more than just modeling a donut from scratch. Recognizing the 80/20 Rule to help make Blender less intimidating. This helped me take a step back and breakdown the intimidation that comes with learning a new program, such as Blender.

This was immediately something I could relate to from my work in programs like After Effects. He mentions the 80/20 Rule, which states that you’re going to use 20% of the features 80% of the time. One of the first things Andrew explains in the series is about what aspects of Blender you’ll use the most. Tabs and panels appear much more cohesive, and it’s easier for a beginner to get their bearings. Now the UI has a more natural structure and feel, and looks right on par with other 3D programs-like Cinema 4D and 3DS Max. However, in 2018, Blender totally revamped the UI with version 2.80. In the past, Blender’s UI always looked overwhelming for new users like myself. Your first impression will likely come from Blender’s user interface. the dunut is not appeared.Trailer for the Blender Guru’s Donut tutorial series. I checked the emitter option but only the icing and sprinkles appeared when render. The torus is hidden from render and so is the icing since it’s the emitter for the particles, and it’s hidden from the particle system settings Don’t know why the particles still not show up, it’s not apparent from the shots. What those shots show is that you haven’t enabled ‘use modifier stack’ setting, and the emitter is set not to render in the second. Of course the bulk of the information would be in the.

That’s with one full interface screenshot which takes less time than me writing this paragraph. The interface has information all around you can include in a shot without writing anything: blender version, active render engine which also affects the viewport, viewport/object modes from the header that explain what you’re showing in the 3D view, outliner hint object types, and whatever else might by chance hint the cause of the problem. There are still other problem, the sprinkles are not laying on the donut but some looked to stick up. My monitor is 4K, a screenshot takes a lot of sizes. The other website editor complained when I include so many graphics. blend conveys the most information for actual troubleshooting, and is needed for visuals such as screenshots or even a video. There are a lot of settings that affect one thing and then the other, and it’s just guesses at best without knowing which. A screenshot only help you explain something. Include the whole interface when asking questions so it contains the feedback from the interface, but don’t assume the screenshot or what you tell is enough information to actually help you. Speaking of setup, I see you’re using cropped screenshots like so many others.

adjusted the particle system settings to follow the new setup.

weight paint mode, deleted the existing vertex group to paint a new one, and painted where the particles should go.

Used shortcuts like alt+B for clipping border on/off to see it better, S to scale, and alt+S to move mesh element closer/away

adjusted the mesh a bit to get it closer to the surface of the object underneath.

When I pressed alt-S, I don’t know what effect it had but nothing visible happened.

I moved the particles mod up and switched from 1.0 to -1.0 and back but it still refuses to show the sprinkles on the top. These might sound too involved or advanced but they’re not really, just harder to explain and would have to put visual instructions if the above aren’t adequate. Other ways to do it would be to apply the solidify modifier and use a vertex group to limit the particles on the top surface, or could duplicate the mesh and model that as the emitter for the particles, but hiding the emitter itself from render, which can be done in particle system properties -> render. If you want to move the mesh because the changed solidify offset, could do that by selecting all in edit mode, and then shrink/fatten (alt+S) to get it closer or away from the dough. One way to do that is to move the particle system modifier on the top, and then tell solidify modifier to switch the direction it creates the thickness on the object by changing the offset to the other side. Enabling that option would make it put the particles on all surfaces.īut you probably only want it on the top surface. Except the particle system hasn’t been told to follow those. First the mesh gets a thickness, then it gets subdivided and smoothed with subdivision, and then there’s the particle system that goes over the result from those two. The modifier stack order is from top down.
