0:55 if your insert keyframe menu is not opening by pressing I instead of I you should press K button

Blender 4.1 its k for specific keyframes.

I love that people in the comments are recognizing the fact that its amazing that that they got to this point. I started the doughnut tutorial a long time ago and gave up when something wasnt doing what I wanted it to do. This time around I stuck with it, asked questions on Discord, googled.. and here we are! Thank you so much for amazing tutorials, clear and calm.

Had to comment as I finally made it to part 12!! I’m so proud of all of us! I really got intimidated when I spent an hour or so fixing a single sprinkle, glad I didn’t give it up, glad yall didn’t either. Thank you Andrew for the awesome tut playlist!!! You made this more palatable than I originally believed. Great work.

It’s crazy to think that we’re already on part 12. It’s been a wild ride, but I really like how everything is looking!

6:40 After clicking 'Animation' tab, If in Dope Sheet you are not able to see same elements, then click on pain axes/hollow sphere added in last video which you parented camera with, then you will see the changes in dope sheet.

At time stamp 4:35, blender 4.1 has changed the key bind to K

Can't believe it's drawing to a close. Got stuck on part 6 while fitting my Blender time around jobs until work needed my full attention, resulting in me falling out of practise. Figured once I had time again, it couldn't hurt to jog my memory and start from the beginning and I'm so glad I did. Reached tutorial 7 within my second day and it's been nothing but a joy to continue progressing through this series. Can't thank you enough for all the help and igniting a new obsession of mine which is the world of 3D. Congrats everyone for making it this far!

Love the way you narrate the tutorial especially how you seem unapologetically genuine when you stumble. Too many youtuber try to keep a professional image which gets bored. Can't wait to finish this tutorial.

:PSA: Are you seeing "Keying set failed to set any keyframes" ? under the properties (shift F7 default bottom right menu) go to "Scene Properties" click arrow for "Keying Sets" Remove the keying sets if you've never purposefully set them

if anyone else is having the problem where when you try to insert a keyframe but it's only showing the "all channels/only selected channels/etc" options - make sure your mouse is hovering over the 3d viewer where your scene is when you press "I", that will give you all the options shown in the video. if your mouse is still over the timeline then you'll only get those first 3 options. a lot of the blender menus change depending on what area of the screen your mouse is in.

I love this tutorials so much. Great energy, great content, super positive attitude and much to learn. Andrew is a gem among teachers.

I've been doing 3D modeling with CAD / Inventor / SolidWorks for years now and jumping into this has been a challenge even for me and I consider myself well versed in the 3D world. Anyone BRAND new to this stuff who has followed along thus far deserves an actual donut.

The animation part makes the whole thing so much cooler. It's absolutely crazy.

This series is the Apex of donut 3D culture 😂👍

I have for real binged youre tutorial lik's it's a netflix show but with skills benefice. Thanks u so much i can't beleive it's free and I don't know if you realized how much you helped and inspire people to change litteraly our LIFE. Thanks a lot just for being in this earth. Love u from a new 3D OBSSESED GUY

Thank you for making these videos! It’s thank to them that I might be able to accomplish my dream of making an animated short film

Hey Andrew, I hope you enjoyed your time off. Thanks again for your awesome tutorials, have a nice day ☀

I don't know if this comment is going to be buried but I would like to see a video about zeroing your rotation back to global axes, if you have applied a new rotation or accidentally rotated a parent and deleted it. I found myself having my camera tilted just slightly after redoing the empty circle but couldn't find out how to reset the tilt because it was showing 0 tilt in the item transform section. Is there a simple way to fix this mistake in blender?

if u r wondering that on the pressing of i why I cant see the keyframe menu so for that matter in update the key k is used to open keyframe menu so instead of using i use k in latest version of blender

🎉This is a very fun guide for beginners for blenders. I'm having fun in all the footage of the series. Thank you!!! 🎉Keep it up.

learning to make a donut was a blast and im really happy how clear your tutorial is. Kudos to you and everyone here who made it this far. now, on to Part 13! we are almost there! everyone!

I have been really enjoying this series. Looking forward to the next one.

Really great tutorial as a beginner learning blender. Learned a ton and the progress from where we started is really insane to look back to.

This time I prefer to see the video first and the replicate it in my blender, I think that if I manage to do it "alone" instead of along the tutorial, then I understood the concept. Let's keep going!

I started this yesterday, had to step away a few times but stuck with it. I've opened Blender many times over the years, messed around for a few hours and then moved on to something else. Glad I've pushed through and made it this far. Thank you for this great tutorial, I have learnt so much and my donuts are looking crispy!

Thank you for tutorial, it’s actually really helpful to learn and understand things in blender (yeah, you showing basic stuff by your standards, but still very useful and informative, thank you so much)

If the animation plays to fast, perhaps the FPS is set to 60 or higher. Set it to 30fps and it will play much smoother. Thanks for the upload! Really enjoying the tutorial so far.

Awesome content Waiting intermediate level tutorial you are really guru like mentor God bless you

Blender 4.1 : Not anymore I but (K + Selection of your type of Keyframes) I put it there but, if when you want to place your keyframes, it does not appear on your Timeline, hold the middle mouse button and drag down to see it. The Timeline is draggable up and down, left and right. Don't thank me, I got your Donut's ;)

man i have waited for this

Woah, thanks Andrew, I didn’t know about the Normalize thing in the Graf Editor!

God of blender🌟

Appreciate your work, Andy :)

I been doing character animation for years, animating in itself isn't difficult with practice but making things move like people would expect them to move is the hard part lol.

excellent tutorial.

wow am in animation? spent almost a week learning donuts in blender. thank you tutor

Amazing content, well explained, thank you 👍♥

Welcome Back. Hope your vacation went well.

I don't have any keyframe info in the animation tab? If I'm on dope sheet I have summary but nothing else (E.G. empty action/Object Transforms) though I do have the keyframes for the rotation set up and it does play correctly. EDIT: It's because it's dependent on what you've got selected. Figured it out right as I posted this comment!

In blender 4.1 "I" shortcut were changed to "K" as he said it'll change in future

Welcome back man

at 6:39 if you go to the animation tab and see your object zoomed in the video part out and cant find your animation track make sure you selected the empty sphere before switching from layout to animation

for someone like me that's confused why the "insert keyframe menu" doesn't appear in animation tab even if clicking the I or K you need to put your cursor to the scene not the the graph below

Gonna finish all this tutorial by today.

4:47 If you don't see menu first press I and make sure there is a yellow romb down. Then press K and menu will open.

Blender is really helpful if you learn it properly

Thanks man 👍

thanks king

I think my 11-day streak is gone, but I am here to complete the tutorial. Thanks again!

First off, thanks for this series, it's fantastic. And as I'm already a C4D user, that's saying a lot because it's not boring, which many things are once you know the basics. I like Blender a lot, but I can tell you one of the reasons I think adoption is slower than it should be is the many little differences in nomenclature that are somewhat infuriating to people used to other packages. For example "location." WHY? 😂 There's even an a common abbreviation for the transforms-PSR. Why couldn't they have gone with "position" like everything else. Or Empties for what most (though yes, not all) software calls Nulls. And don't even get me started on Z-up. 🤣I still don't know why they can't just make a pref switch to change the UI naming and shortcuts for Y-up. If that ever comes, it'll be my favorite update of all time, but I digress. There are arguments for the others, fair enough, but location really bothers me. 😂 It's these slight things that make the learning curve steeper than it needs to be in my very humble but loud opinion! Edit: Let me further add to my book and explain why, because I don't think I really did. The problem isn't so much that it's tough to learn. The problem is when I go back to something like After Effects, or even Resolve or Fusion, and I've been doing things in Blender with "location" it's hard to jump into those and get back into a workflow that doesn't use that word one bit. It's like jumping from a Windows box to a Mac and back. The shortcut keys are different, and I've built muscle memory over decades (and it's why all of my Windows boxes have modified registries). For example it's going to take me a bit to get used to snapping values to Cmd/Ctrl vs Shift since most everything uses Cmd/Ctrl to snap TO stuff, and Shift to snap to values. Little things like that cause a lot of friction. Maybe it's just me.

I'm struggling hard on this one, imo i did shitty things like 3 parts ago and this is actually comes back to me :(

What a surprise! I wasn't expecting this until at least tomorrow. I forget it's evening in Australia. It's 1 am where I am in the US. Now I'll have to do this part before I go to bed.

I made the start of the rotation 10 frames later after the scaling to have a nice zoom out first.

I think it would be better to focus the camera on an empty object that moves between the donut at the top, then the one on the left and finally the one in the foreground at the end of the animation, so as not to start with a blurred image. Thank you for all your hard work!

This is great. under the animation workspace, i closed the user perspective screen by dragging the camera view to fully occupy the whole screen. Hmm can no longer open the other window.

am still gonna watch the animation one even though i don't plan to animate stuff in blender

@blenderguru can you please show us how to do DOF (depth of field) for the animation?😊😊🙏 but all in all, im enjoying this series so much and im so glad you're back from your vacation😁😁

in 9:10 if your graph doesn't look like his change the Interpolation to (Bezier) where it says Active Keyframe on the F-curve settings on the right

As of Blender update 4.1, the insert keyframe menu button has been changed from "I" to "K". Hope this helps because I was really confused about this.

Animating characters naturally is so tricky. Also, I too struggle to draw straight lines or specifics curves. Or really anything at all.

We will all make it to the end Keep going, you have gone very far. I accidentally forgot to save but I didn't give up. Geometry nodes are terrifying but my mind didn't care and I did that crap without looking at the tutorial (I remembered it somehow). I remembered the compositing thing too somehow and I managed to get the perfect glare for my donuts. I forgot about the auto saves but it was too late. I had made it to this part. Don't give up and if you forgot to save go to the top left of the files icon to recover. Then go to Auto Saves and click whichever one has your project's name. Click the one farthest up with the name of your project and ignore the other projects.

TIP: I quickly validated my animation (I changed it after final render...) just by using Material Preview mode, camera view and maximized viewport - Control + Space (layout). When I satisfied with it I can finally render it.

can not believe i am finally on this step

can wait for the next Blender GTA VI

If your Z and Y Euler Rotation Keyframes are not deleting like it did in the video, hover over their names and press x. That should delete them. Hope it helped 😃

when I press I there isnt a manu and I cant go to the x line. 4:43

We are close to the end

30 is good for animation and non-interactive things. 60 or more for interactive things, responsiveness is important when interacting with something, especially in games.

the dope sheet is dope shit xD

awesome :)))

Lol the sprinkles on the side at the end I'm about to have nightmare & see em everywhere

After 11 videos, I have finally found the final boss of Blender. (HIP goes kaboom)

1:00 pressing I didn’t work thankfully a comment said to use K and it seems to work

Cool

The scale is another reason why radians are superior

yess im soo close now! school starts tomorrow (goodbye sembreak TvT) i really wanna finish this before then (currently 6:53am, i started 4am) i did not sleep at all even before that (busy watching Dan and Phil playing Poppy chapter 3 lmao)

My graph was looking vastly different just because I assembled my scene rotated by 90deg, so I was dealing with an Y-axis. Had to spent some time figuring out how to achieve described in the video type of movement, but it turned out as precious experience at the end.

I swear the render times are insane.

I actually got to part 12, I'm so happy

I'm kind of surprised that you didn't mention that often times folks who go for higher frame rates like 60 are often times doing it for the sake of video games, in which having a higher fps means that it is easier for the player to quickly react to something if new information on screen if the time between frames is lower. I think the real weirdos are the folks who put a higher fps when it's not for the sake of video games.

I have put the keyframes via y axis and deleted the x and z axis on dope sheet but the f curve is not showing in the graph editor mode Someone can you please help me😢

Yay...you're back.

The home key shortcut for Laptop Users is "Fn + left arrow key".

Congratulations to everyone 😍😍

he said to add keyframe for ROTATION on the empty, for those of you who ran into an issue with nothing happening after setting your keyframe. I kept using LOCATION and wondering why nothing was moving.

I just did cubic ease out for the easing part

Finally

Through blood, sweat, and tears I am nearly at the end. Alright, it wasn't so dramatic but I did have a lot a trouble at certain points.

I'm trying a new 2D animation for my channel bc im lazy and I want to see how much I can change a picture

RETURN!

Great video. I think 24 vs 30 FPS might have started a holy war tho…. 😅

insert keyframe - i add - empty - plain axes insert keyframe - i - rotation jump to first keyframe - shift + < dope sheet delete keyframe - delete graph editior pan around graph editor - mmb position all into view - home axis zoom - ctrl + mmb moving through keyframes - up/down arrows insert keyframe - 1 - scale normalize fps - frames per second frame rate

All went very well however I did notice that in my graph view when animating my curve it was the inverse of what Andy had in his video. Instead of an arc starting at -90 and curving to 0 my arc started at 90 and curved down to 0. My scene looks identical to Andy's and I have modelled everything along the correct axis. eg. when I am rotating the empty sphere object so the camera is looking down on the doughnuts Blender tells me I adjusted the camera by -90 degrees just like in the video. However, in Graph view when animating I see a different curve. Other than that this all went great.

GURU🙏🙏

never occurred to me to hide the cube 😭it makes my life so much easier to be able to move around freely, a bit late for this point of the tutorial to remember I could just hide it

In Photoshop we have Piximperfect, in Blender we have BlenderGuru !

Great series! Although I'm a little disappointed as an Australian you didn't shout out 25fps 😆

how many donuts has this man made though, that's the question I need answered!

14:21 FPS display shows a solid 24 for me
