Thank you. Straight, to-the-point, but not so fast that it looks like you're only here to impress yourself 🙂 The opposite of that is the donut guy. Once he became famous, his tutorials have become incredibly long-winded (like 20 hours that could be edited down to 6 - maybe I should do that just to prove I do video editing in my portfolio ;-)
I finished up this part 1 and added a camera rotation I know how to do this since I saw blenderboi's better tutorial
@CG Fast Track whenever i click shadding it just closes blender any ideai?
LITERALLY ONE OF THE BEST TUTORIAL EVER!!!! most of the blender tutorials are so boring that i gave up in mid way . this push me to go through .
exactly 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
well you ain't gonna go far
@@bossmen6665 wow, team player
@@bossmen6665About as far down as your nan is in hell mate
@@grimjk5707 thanks for the view. Means a lot to me
I like the way he draws the smiley face it makes me feel like i am progresss
ikr lol
I am progress too, feel gooo :D
@@jollyredninja5998he might not be a native speaker,making fun of his is a little mean :)
Who else came here after modeling a donut lol
I'm 😊
How did you know!?
me
I nearly did but I got focused on geo nodes
bro same
All other tutorials do not explain this well. I am impressed.
I know. Every other tutorial jumps way too far way too fast and i'm like wait, you just modeled the whole world in 5 seconds. Thanks so much!!!
then tell me how to not have exploding cubes in motion ?
Feel like I’m taking a highschool class. 10/10 best tutorial I’ve found so excited to keep learning😊
my high school classes sucked, but this guy is realistic and can teach. Thank you I learn so much every day in blender!
Anyone looking to get into blender, this is THE tutorial to do first! Literally could not be more beginner friendly, and when I went to remake it by myself after following along with the tutorial I did the whole thing without forgetting a step in 15 minutes - tyvm for the fantastic resource! 🙏🏽
Most of the time when I try to follow a tutorial, it's too fast, or too confusing. You were one of the first blender tutorial channels where I could actually understand what I was doing and how to do it. Thanks for the video :D
Finished the old one a couple of weeks ago and the new one is already available ! You guys rule ! Thank you so much :)
I really appreciate that you have your resolution scale set so that your video is easy for me to see and read. The way you use the red lines to highlight the important details as well as the onscreen keyboard (when appropriate). These key details make your videos the easiest to watch and follow. Thank you very much!
You're an excellent teacher. I've watched quite a few tutorials on various specific skills, and while they almost always walk you through the process, they rarely give an explanation of WHY you do particular things. If something goes wrong and a glitch gets introduced into my project, I don't know how to fix it because I don't know why I was doing what I was doing. Your emphasis on clear explanation and developing specific muscle memory skills helped SO MUCH. I hope this tutorial series blows up because the work and skill and patience you put into it is unmatched. Thank you for this.
this is SO much better than any other tutorials I've seen. You really focus in on the basics and i feel like i'm actually retaining the information. definitely going to finish this series and join your premium stuff
I've just started this and I love the pacing. Enough to help you hit the ground running but not so much that you feel overwhelmed and wondering what you would even do with everything you've learned. Some tutorials throw too much at you and are very long and/or in depth. There is so much to 3D modeling that I think tutorials like this are better to let you learn just enough to decide which path you want to get started with.
So nice to see your tutorials again. I finished your first one and the old donuts tutorial years ago. Now when I decided to back to blender, both of you released tutorials of new version of blender.
I already have a decent amount of experience with blender, but I've never really found an in depth tutorial as good as this one! Thank you so much for making this clear and helping me review the basics!
I've been trying to learn Blender on and off for a couple of years with little to no progress. I struggle to learn and retain information. This is the most progress I've even done and it actually brought tears to my eyes. This is hands down the best tutorial I've ever seen. Not saying all the others are rubbish but this one was so straight forward, I was smiling all through it. Thank you so much.
I have been going crazy I still couldn’t do anything in blender. I’m gonna start from here. This looks fantastic just what I was looking for THANK YOU
My favorite beginner series, I've recommended this many times since first learning blender 3 years ago!
Just came here after finishing the Donut tutorial. Donut was great, I got to make something pretty, but I don't feel like I retained a lot of the concepts. I went away and tried to apply what I learned there to make a cupcake, and did OK, but not as good as when I followed the video step by step. I feel like you really helped in reinforcing and retaining the basic concepts and core skills. I like how you tell us to not just follow you, but to listen, then repeat. I'd recommend people come here first before going to Donut. Looking forward to the next part.
100%
I agree, I think the donut tutorial is for experienced 3d artists new to Blender, this is a great tutorial for new 3d artist
I figured it out, its duplicates not sure how I got random duplicates
Also here after the donut tutorial! Kudos to everyone learning Blender.
SAME! i agree 100% this was so helpful
Its so refreshing to find this tutorial after looking at some of the other "beginner tutorials" out there that while interesting and somewhat followable are not really beginner friendly. This far and away the most beginner friendly and well explained tutorial I have seen.
Tysm! This tutorial helped me so much with blender, going to rebuild the project and watch part 2 after school!
Im glad I followed this tutorial. I saw the comments and gave it a try. I can't speak on other tutorials but this one is complete beginner as he explains very well each component of blender as your building in the project. I've recommended this to already to my friends and they want to give it a go, seeing my results from this one and part 2+3. Well worth it.
can't wait for the rest of the tutorial...you are doing a great job for not only beginners but also intermediate....really appreciate your hard work...we need more like these..
This is an AMAZING tutorial. I had so much fun making this project. All of the other videos I've watched were so boring and confusing, but this one is a masterpiece. Thank you ,CG Fast Track, for this tutorial!
THIS IS THE BEST TUTORIAL EVER, SO HANDS ON AND DETAILED.
hello im very new to pc in general let alone blender ive done some photoshop classes in highschool so im versed in that (ctl c and ctl v get used so much) your video has so far been very helpful and you dont make me feel stupid or like you're condescending which i greatly appriciate
I've been scouring intro tutorials and this is by far the best. 15 minutes in and I feel I have a great grasp of the basics. Thank you kind sir and well done!
I felt so stressed and overwhelmed this morning, this was so easy to follow and I feel like I got a leg up on things following this, thanks so much!
As somone that learned in their study only to use the "old ways", working with Maya, making the shift with your videos to Blender was a blessing ❤
I am so happy I found this, i got stuck on the donut even though its a beginner project and it made me basically give up after few hours of trying to figure out whats wrong, but I really love the idea of 3d modelling, so seeing a guide that starts even simpler gave me hope and i wanna try again, fingers crossed and thanks!
Fantastic tutorial. Thanks a lot for your work!
Incredibly satisfying, couldn't have started any better. Done for the day can't wait to start part 2 tomorrow
This channel started my blender journey, thanks to this channel i'm now able to use blender at a decent level.
2:05 BEST INTRO EVER!!!!!! I LOVE IT!
Hey there ! Brand new Blender studiant here, so I start with the 4.1 version of the software. That's how I found your channel, and WOW !!!!!! Just what I needed to up my motivation up even more ! I can't wait to watch the second part, since I followed along this tutorial. Of course I subscribed to the channel ;-)
I started your course back in blender 2.8, I am looking forward to getting back into it!
idk what it is about you but this has gotta be the first tutorial for blender i found that made blender actually fun instead of kinda annoying, ok tbh i did screw up a little, but idk if its your voice or the way you teach with he red pen but i love it, idk if it means anything but you gained me as a sub :D
Idc what other tutorials did, but this one is the best for me! Before finding this I went to the blender tutorial sites different youtube channels even chat gpt! none worked and ut was so frustrating. I was so close on giving up glad i found this channel now atleast i can say m learning it! Thank you so much for explaning this so clearly!
Gosh I hate most tutorials on blender and was about to give up until I found you, amazing tutorial learnt so much already ... if it wasn't so late i'd be doing the next.. tomorrow here I come eheh... i am now inspired to learn. I would just advise any noob like me to not go anywhere else.
Thank you so much for this tuturial! I restarted Blender journey few days ago and I was lucky to find your tutorial! I think the most important skill for a beginner is to feel comfortable moving around in 3d space on 2d monitor. Following your newbie extercise finally I got confidence.
Mate, when I say you are a legend for making this tutorial, you are the GOAT. Mad thank you! There was a few things in Blender that I didn't understand such as moving around and so on, not to mention that some tutorial seem kinda boring, but this was magnificent! If they ever open a school for this they should hire you to teach (if that was something you'd ever consider). Big love and thanks!
Thanks. I'm moving from C4D to Blender - finally - this was a great help. Subscribed
HEY!!! THERE BACK AT IT AGAIN!! My favorite blender tutoral series. Was even better than the classic donut cuz it kept me motivated
I stopped learning about blender because I was bored, but this one is really fun to follow.
There are some good tutorials out there, but the way you show everything in a Blender for Dummies approach is epic! Very motivated to do more modeling, so thanks!
0:26 that part is so true it's been six months finally gathered courage to start again
I never leave comments but your teaching is perfect, I’ve retained so much information from just one video that would have took me hours to get, literally almost shed a tear man. Love you and keep up the outstanding work.
We need more vids
This video is excellent. Pacing is great, results fast and frequent yet with the right level of challenge for a new starter. Well done and thank you.
Why is this so underrated? It REALLY helped me. Thanks so much
Hell yeah! Didnt realize you updated this series. Best starter tutorial series out there
I love how thorough and clear you speak. Subscribed.
This is a really good tutorial to have right after you finish your donut tutorial. It basically goes over the same stuff, but it's like there's a different workflow to it. Where he focused more on the shortcuts and getting through your first project, you go over the menu and some other things that he didn't really touch on. Because you use a different way of doing things, I can remember things better, and it solidified what I already learned. Which is exactly what I wanted from a tutorial.
I found this when I was about 5 videos deep into the donut tutorial and bookmarked it to watch afterwards. You're right it's an excellent one to pick up right afterwards! This video revisits some of the things that seemed a little more advanced and breaks it all down very well.
@@iamacheezit It's funny, this is exactly where I am now, 5 videos into the donut tutorial 🤣 saving this one to start on next
I’m here after donut tutorial
Finished the donut and I shall test this theory. If someone sees this in the future, ask me if it did work out or not. :)
i come from the future. i have to ask you if it worked out or not? @@anytng2077
Thank you soo much i didn't knew how to use blender but after watching your video it was super easy literally best tutorial
Wow, I was just about to take the 3.6 tutorial you guys put out, but you guys just released the 4.0 version. Thanks guys.
The three button mouse emulator might be good for some people, but personally, I was lucky with my computer in the sense that my trackpad can do everything my mouse can without turning the three button mouse emulator on. The way I use the trackpad for navigation is by using to fingers to rotate, shift + two fingers to pan, and spreading my two fingers in and out to zoom in. Although I must say, while the zoom in feature on my trackpad is pretty good, it takes forever to zoom back out.
I wish I had something like this when I started learning blender. I stopped using it back in version 3.0 or so I need a small update/ reminder on how stuff works. You are awesome for this.
I’ve been developing with blender for about 4 years now and I have to say the biggest ways to learn that’s my favorite is starting with sometimes difficult projects and on lazy days simpler projects, it’s like when artists draw upside down…..just gotta do things the opposite way
I love the way his taking time to break down the process in pieces like it easy to do. I could follow along. 100%
Really the way you explained was awesome thank you very much 😊😊😊
thank you soo much .Most of the tutorials are lifeless and boring that I was about leave blender but I saw your video and gave me motivation
Best Blender tutorial got updated. So easy to follow. You are a legend. THANK YOU
Mannnnnn my this is your first video I've watched, already a big fan THANK YOU!
Hey that tutorial was crazy good. Its easy to see the care you take on preventing people to get confused/lost, and it totally works. Ty ^^
straight to the point best blender tutorial on youtube
Just a heads up, if anyone gets a feeling all their blocks are being draw in by an invisible force it's because the objects origin is off. If you click on your object, it's highlighted orange but an orange dot is closer to the world origin then that's the cause. You'll need to select all the objects that are affected by this, right click, "Set Origin" & select "Origin to Geometry". If you do it & all your blocks move to the orange dot just ctrl+z & redo it just make sure to not select "Geometry to Origin".
Thank you this fixed my issue
Came from SideFX Houdini so had no idea how to use Blender, similar principles but this vid really helped get used to the new software. Cant wait to play with it more!
I am CRYING right now. This tutorial is amazing and I really appreciate it. But, the reason I'm crying is from laughter because I accidentally made a scene that blows up. I accidentally copy and pasted and left the side pillars inside of each other and duplicated that creating an accidental explosion mechanic before you mentioned it. Very cool! You did such a good job teaching that even though I made a mistake I was able to deduce why it happened and fix it if I wanted to. I think it's better exploding though, that's a core memory now.
I was looking for this comment! Mine exploded too!🤣🤣
do you know how to fix it
Bro mine is exploding dont know what to do😂
@@_NEO_18231 I ended up shift+click all the blocks for each pillar, moving the pillar off to the left (for easy box select) then deleting the blocks that remained in it's place underneath. Repeat for each pillar / side. You have to select them individually with shift+click though, because the duplicate hiding cubes have the same material applied as well, so you can't use the linked material select method.
@@amu_cena see my reply to neo below. You have to move the cubes away to see if there is one hiding undearneath, then delete the hiding cube and move the original back into place. unless @CGFastTrack has a better way!
Oh man the muscle memory part! Yeah I'm loving this!
Decided to start blender and your tutorial is very very very helpful and very informative along with being extremely beginner, friendly!
Ultimately great tutorial overall, the step by step is clear and concise and easy to follow. Love it ❤ ❤
I thought the donut was good - bro, this was great. Thanks so much for providing this!
Brother is the best broo!! He literally motivated me to not quit blender!
0:26 that panda has been me with c++ lately XD
It's so fun and interesting to learn from you without any pain in the head. Please keep going, we want to learn more from you.😊
what a tutorial, the best i have ever seen of blender. well done. could you might explain or link a video where you explain how to render all of this because it didnt really worked out at my computer lol :(
Most begginers friendly video. Gonna try more of these projects.
Your intros are the most amazing I have ever seen, the music too! Could you give me a hint where did you find the samples or did you do it yourself, I'm very curious 🤔
best tutorial ever!! explanation so nice and precise. love it!! thank you so much for this series
Your navigation exercise alone would have saved me sooooo much time in Guru's donut tutorial. Great video!
Thank you so much for your efforts, helping me a lot. The trailer is very motivating, exactly what I have always been looking for
Thank you for this, I am finding this tutorial to be very clear and done at a good pace for me to learn and actually take it all in! I can't wait to get started on the Sword!
good as i always recommned your channel in all socmed when hey ask for tutorials. you are the best when it comes to beginner learning in blender
I am so happy to follow along this tutorial. One, cause after the end it gives you atleast the hope yes I am doing it. I did the donut tutorial halfway through and gave up on animation. cause i was forgetting the stuff again and again. but this helped me retent the knowledge. i am almost went down a spiral because i had to watch tutorial from start again and again. I ham pretty good at sketchup and vray. but that just broke my nerve. it might work for people and it might not. and he has helped so many people. SO, i am just glad I am doing it from here. THANK YOU AGAIINNNNNNN.
My bro is born to teach ! Thank you so much.
I really like the way you teach, man👍🏻...keep up the good work !💪🏼
Thank you for explaining this simply, your way of teaching with simplicity and proper guidance is brilliant and yeah, your videos will make sure I dont give up this time. Thank You!
Had me at the CG Fast Track animation intro
This Video Has Helped me 50x faster than any other video on KZhead, Totally recommended! Don't Bother with trying to Model a Donut..
I needed this ten years ago. Thanks for an AWESOME video. 👏👏👏👏👏
please continue this series, its great!
The lesson went so smoothly that I didn’t notice how quickly it ended, I just enjoyed the process, thank u a lot, kind person!
tysm for the help, ive tried in the past to get into blender and it was so confusing but with this its so helpful thankyou thankyou thankyou.
Hey i liked this tutorial a lot i really understood it and it was very fun:D but i had an issue with the exploding bit, only the front half was exploding but it still worked out fine!
Brilliant guide, easy to follow and understand. I got 1 question after finishing the guide and that is, how do i go about saving the animation as a video or mp4 file just so i can share my progress with a friend and show them the end product
BRO UR THE BEST BLENDER EXPLAINER IVE EVER SEEN!!!!! I LOVE UR VIDS!!!
Man, he's back y'all!!!🥳🎉
best explanation even i am weak in english i can understand the instructions clearly . Good job thank you
I never really write comments, but this tutorial is so informative and easy to follow, and a beginner who just started today has now got a basic idea of how to use it. It is also so interesting and the way you explain every step just adds to the positives to the video. INSTANT like and subscribe from me!
This is the best tutorial I have ever watched for anything and im nearly 40
