Who you watching first?

@Trng-gk1db Рік тому

You

@pugsducks Рік тому

For the first time i started to do donut. But it Failed) So few days after i made a lowpoly house, watching russian tutorial

@empplayz Рік тому

You! I love your videos and how you break down things, it's very helpful!

@onkarkitekt Рік тому

Waiting for 3.5 to go stable , then I will go with Smeaf 😏

@empplayz Рік тому

as well as the memes 🤣

@Just_a_commenter Рік тому

Honestly, I've been putting off learning Blender... I've done some basic modeling but haven't finished any projects yet. Funny that this should get posted today because I seriously spent a lot of time thinking about Blender on the way home from work. Thanks, Smeaf!

@Smeaf Рік тому

Coincidence, I think NOT! You got this!

@Just_a_commenter Рік тому

You bring up a good point! I'd probably benefit from revisiting the basics and starting fresh... Thanks for the encouragement c:

@Abbaajihausatv1 Рік тому

I stated learning blender 1 month a go but now i learnt many things and also did a new animation today 👍

@FeRReTNS Рік тому

No one ever mentions Blender Studio. It's not free, but you are directly funding the development of blender. Julien Kaspar's stylized character tutorials are really well done and I was kinda shocked how much I was able to learn in just one month.

@Smeaf Рік тому

Yeah, I figured people know what it is already, but apparently not!

@cedimogotes8662 Рік тому

for me, the crossmind studio blender introduction was perfect to start, the donnut series was overwhelming

@hoangcu9093 Рік тому

I wouldn't recommend the donut guy to start with. My brain exploded because the donuts were too difficult to eat. Then, the sober guy (crossmind) arrived and brought me a cup of Japanese green tea, and he helped me reassemble my brain. 1000+ respect.

@LotsofStories Місяць тому

Same for me, after crossmind donut made sense

@aydenmcfly1362 Рік тому

Haven't touched blender since the beginning of the new year, hopping back in with all of my gained knowledge after a break helped me realize how far I have come in the software and that I'm no longer incapable of making anything!!! Time to go ham the rest of 2023!!!!

@heckensteiner4713 Рік тому

I switched from Maya after working in it for 7 years professional and now I've been using Blender for 3 years professionally. When I first started using it I felt handicapped. Today, I still feel handicapped but I can do a lot of cool stuff and I learn more everyday thanks to channels like these!

@DECODEDVFX Рік тому

Good video. Thanks for the shootout in the description!

@munkyflux Рік тому

My goal this year is to start learning blender again. I did it many moons ago doing low polygon stuff, got half way through a low poly isometric jaws boat scene, would love to finish that off properly and animate it. Thanks for this Smeaf this is going to help me look in the right places to learn even more when I start back up.

@Smeaf Рік тому

That's awesome, you can do it!

@watLegends 7 місяців тому

hows it going bro?

@3dmodelinganimation570 Рік тому

After seeing your videos I can say you're the most genuine and honest creator I've ever seen. Lots of love Smeaf! Keep bringing this amazing content ❤️🌟

@Smeaf Рік тому

I appreciate that bro 🥹

@zoltankotra2212 Рік тому

I completed the donut tutorial like 2 weeks ago and I'm just messing around with blender since, not knowing what to do next. The barely started projects are piling up and I'm losing my motivation. Thank you for this video. I'm definitely gonna check out these guys.

@Smeaf Рік тому

Yes! Keep at it You'll get there in no time!

@simply_the_dev7588 Рік тому

create a workflow plan. It's the same with me, if I don't have a plan or goal I just wonder around aimlessly not knowing what to do. So I created a workflow plan. For example, beginner videos I start off doing the Crossmind Studio course, then the Donut Series from blender Guru. My next goal is to complete a video from Grant Abbitt. Don't do back to back tutorials on the same channel. Freshen it up but create a list of projects. Lastly create a list of subjects to focus on, whether that be hard surface modeling or motion graphics and write down specific videos related.

@grabbitt Рік тому

Thanks for the shoutout :)

@the7jinn Рік тому

hello smeaf! im currently self learning blender, i cannot wait to be better. Your channel is also really entertaining, i hope to see more from you!

@Smeaf Рік тому

Best of luck! Hopefully this will help you out!

@filipemecenas Рік тому

That's pure gold thanks

@Love_Peace_Giver Рік тому

Dude, this is one of the most important videos out there, thanks!

@Smeaf Рік тому

I appreciate that!

@wavetro Рік тому

im so glad i can just send this video to people the next time they ask me how to get into blender 🙏 (i am also glad i can call myself "advanced" since i can watch a CGMatter video without getting lost)

@Smeaf Рік тому

That was the goal! You're in the advanced league!

@saltedmaple Рік тому

Thanks for these. I'm still a beginner on Blender. The donut tutorial one did not do it for me, Instead, I had access to udemy for free and started learning there from Grant Abbit's tutorial. From there I watched many tutorials and little by little I can do my own model but still needs improvement. For everyone who has a hard time following some tutorials. - I suggest that you find some beginner videos that interests you then start from there. - Also another thing for everyone who finds it hard to even start, just watch videos for at least 2 mins > 4 mins > 6 mins > and so on this will start pumping up your energy to start something. I saw this on a motivational video and this also applies to anything that you want to learn. Just watching/showing up to do something is already a progress. SLOW PROGRESS is still a PROGRESS. :D I hope everyone finds what they are looking for. Cheers! :D

Great vid, for super advanced geo nodes tutorials, I'd recommend Entagma as well, they primarily make Houdini tuts but they also make Blender geo nodes tutorials as well.

@Smeaf Рік тому

Yes, they're great!

Almost didn't notice that at 5:54 and I can confirm it does show up in my results as well

@Smeaf Рік тому

No problem 👍

@gothfennec Рік тому

i've been using blender for the past 7 years, which is a lot for somebody of my age (18), but i rarely learned anything new because i was always just doing the same things and then i wouldn't touch the program for another few months

@Smeaf Рік тому

That is a long while!

@Nteriyo 7 місяців тому

Also, chat gpt is excellent for learning blender. Just ask how to make anything really and it will give you a step by step process. You can quickly ask what any value or button/modifier does as well.

@rafaelkgsdumpstash Рік тому

Magnífico, esplêndido 🤌

@Smeaf Рік тому

Thanks!

@MnMustafa 2 місяці тому

Thanks for the video. Very useful! I learned Blender 3D last year (when 3.0 was released) but then got busy with other stuff. Planning to get back to it. Always wanted to try Donut tutorials, but couldn't. Maybe this time. Curious to know why no Udemy courses are mentioned (especially: The Complete Blender Creator course)?

@Pestodmd Рік тому

Polygon Runway deserves a mention!

@mikethegamedev Рік тому

Wow, thank you so much

@Smeaf Рік тому

No worries!

@scott_itall8638 Рік тому

Imphenzia is great to watch to!

@Ab_obla Рік тому

I started with the donut, and then gave up after 2 videos, then locked it up with the crossmind studio's beginner ones, retrying the donut again and again can be tiring so I switched and that helped me get my boost since the first model in the crossmind studio's tutorial is a basic blocky building, very contrasting to a donut so it felt like a breath of fresh air, All I'm saying is Don't be afraid to switch tutorials, they're all good Btw: this happened a year ago

@Smeaf Рік тому

Great advice!

@stevesculptor1 Рік тому

I tried the 1st donut tut, and got stuck, I didn't get any help from smug, arrogant. So what did he do, recreated the donut tut again which tells me there was something wrong with the 1st one, no I won't be following 'numb nuts with the donuts'

@kaigorodaki Рік тому

Thank you for the vid 🙏 Just wanted to ask if it's worth learning blender and use it for freelance product advertising and arch viz or making 3D printable digital STL file models with everything going on with ai rn?

@vasim495 Рік тому

There's a level beyond intermediate. When you're getting by fine with your job and don't really need tutorials. But you wouldn't mind some small nuggets of info here and there to catch you by surprise. And that's where Blender Secrets comes in. Then there's another group of viewers. Folks that live and breath blender, they don't necessarily need any hand holding and have a good grasp of things, but still want to continue learning. It can get sickening though, and that's where educational entertainment comes in 🤣 Ian Hubert and yourself. Also shout out to the therapeutics, where you just sit and watch someone fiddle with vertices for hours on end. Master Xeon, I also love the way elementza explains topology (he doesn't do blender tutorials but his methods apply to modelling in general regardless of the tool you're using)

@stzrm.zeroseven Рік тому

Always been a great creator you are man. I learned a lot of stuff from you. Can you make an tutorial for modeling tshirt, I mean there are many but without using a Doll model and instead hanging the Tshirt on a hanger! I would mean the world for me man!

@RobZombii Рік тому

There's another channel that I recommend for animation. Royal Skies. Although he doesn't upload Blender tutorials anymore, his 1-minute Blender tutorials were a GOD-SEND. Specific and right to the point. Any beginners that want to learn animation in Blender, trust me. Start with Royal Skies first AND THEN move on to Pierrick Pecaut (Whom I also follow extensively) because Pierrick has a lot more intermediate/advanced techniques in his catalogue.

@v4hacker Рік тому

Why he doesn't upload blender tutorials anymore?

@RobZombii Рік тому

@@v4hacker he said that he felt like he had shown much of everything that he knows about blender and wanted to move on to different programs like z-brush and substance painter tutorials.

question i havent checked far enough back yet just starting to watch your videos, but can you draw? ive been wanting to learn vfx since i seen some of ian hubert years ago, but i dont know if you need to know how to draw, for instance i cant paint digitally, and i cant draw very well, i know how to draw basic cylinder type anatomy and perspective 1-5 points but thats it, colour light etc and actually rendering and stuff i suck at, would this hold me back or is 3d a different skill set?
