Part 2 is out now!

I like the way he draws the smiley face it makes me feel like i am progresss

From making donuts to sabotaging ancient ruins. Blender!!! Here I come.

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 .

All other tutorials do not explain this well. I am impressed.

Who else came here after modeling a donut lol

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! 🙏🏽

Feel like I’m taking a highschool class. 10/10 best tutorial I’ve found so excited to keep learning😊

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

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.

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.

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".

THIS IS THE BEST TUTORIAL EVER, SO HANDS ON AND DETAILED.

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.

Finished the old one a couple of weeks ago and the new one is already available ! You guys rule ! Thank you so much :)

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 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 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.

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.

2:05 BEST INTRO EVER!!!!!! I LOVE IT!

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

This is the guy! Like seriously, many of the youtube tutorials I've followed are nothing compared to this. I like it when someone teaches me and not himself- I mean the speed. I'm learning this stuff really first and I've downloaded all the series on my PC for reference during my practice.

My favorite beginner series, I've recommended this many times since first learning blender 3 years ago!

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

such a good guide. i re made it a day later without the video and did it perfectly its such a good and useful guide thanks :D

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

This is the best tutorial I have ever watched for anything and im nearly 40

I stopped learning about blender because I was bored, but this one is really fun to follow.

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..

Part 2 will be awesome! I'm learning blender so i can design and 3d print knives for templates before i go to the forge. So getting "hands on" with a sword model is just perfect

Why is this so underrated? It REALLY helped me. Thanks so much

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!

This channel started my blender journey, thanks to this channel i'm now able to use blender at a decent level.

You are the best in the world right now for blender 4.1. You literally made blender more easier.

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!

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

straight to the point best blender tutorial on youtube

If youre having trouble with the passive rigid body not following the sim just leave it as an active rigid body, make the ground underneath a passive rigid body so the temple collides with it

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!

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.

DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH a lot of these videos make me feel overwhelmed and stupid but being able to go at it my own pace and proactive moving and other things makes this feel a bit more real. even had fun. ill come back to finish as i have work in the morning but im excited to see more of these. THANKS!

0:26 that panda has been me with c++ lately XD

Oh man the muscle memory part! Yeah I'm loving this!

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!

Best tutorial I have found so far!! was able to make this project and going to make part 2 in just one day :D

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!

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.

Brother is the best broo!! He literally motivated me to not quit blender!

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’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

My bro is born to teach ! Thank you so much.

0:26 that part is so true it's been six months finally gathered courage to start again

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

I giggled like a little girl when the pillars started falling all over the place. Thank you so much for this tutorial, it was so much easier to follow than a known doughnut one!

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.

I started your course back in blender 2.8, I am looking forward to getting back into it!

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

Blender Tools and Navigation: 💡 The three most important objects in Blender for beginners are the default Cube, the camera, and the light, which are essential for creating 3D models and animations. 🔵 The rotation tool allows users to easily rotate objects by clicking and dragging on the red, green, and blue handles. 🌍 Learning how to move around in the 3D viewport using navigation controls, such as the orbit tool using the middle mouse button, is essential for 3D modelling. 🔄 Blender's frame selection tool allows for precise orbiting around a specific object, enhancing the user experience and making navigation more efficient. 🎮 Practicing the three-step process of orbiting, selecting, and framing objects will help users navigate their scenes quickly and efficiently, improving their overall workflow. 🧲 The snapping tool in Blender allows us to easily line up objects and make our lives way easier when creating scenes. 🛠 Modifiers in Blender are like tools that can be added to objects with a permanent undo button, making them non-destructive to the scene. 🎬 The goal is to turn the scene into a rigid body simulation, making everything animate, which will be the biggest and most challenging chapter yet. Visual Customization and Effects: 🎨 The Shader editor in Blender is an important tool for customizing and fine-tuning the appearance of objects in the 3D view. 💎 Adding reflectivity and material properties can make objects in Blender look like glass or metal, enhancing the visual appeal of the 3D models. 💡 Using ambient occlusion and bloom can transform a flat scene into a more cinematic one, adding depth and visual interest. TLDR: Learning the essential tools and techniques in Blender, such as navigation controls, modifiers, and shader editing, is crucial for creating high-quality 3D models and animations. 1. 00:00 🎬 Learn the most important objects and tools in Blender 4.0, including the default Cube, camera, and light, to build confidence and skills as a beginner. 1.1 Learn the three most important objects in Blender - the default Cube, camera, and light - to build confidence and skills as a beginner. 1.2 To fix the small user interface in Blender, go to preferences, set the resolution scale to 1.25, and start using the three most important tools in the toolbar. 1.3 The most important tools in Blender 4.0 for beginners are move, rotate, and scale, which can be activated by clicking on the corresponding handles to manipulate objects. 1.4 Learn how to use the white handle for uniform scaling and navigate the 3D viewport using a three-button mouse or trackpad. 1.5 The orbit tool in Blender allows you to circle around a specific object by using the frame selection tool to select the object and then using the middle mouse button to orbit around it. 1.6 Zoom in and out with the middle mouse button, pan left and right with the shift and middle mouse button, and use the NB to Pro navigation exercise to build up skills. 2. 06:02 🎨 Practice orbiting, selecting, and framing objects in Blender, enable trackpad controls and use shortcuts to navigate, use the snapping tool for easy object alignment, and duplicate and align cubes using the move tool and pan navigation. 2.1 Build muscle memory by practicing the three steps of orbiting, selecting, and framing objects in Blender to navigate quickly and efficiently. 2.2 Enable trackpad controls, use shortcuts to navigate around the scene, and reset the scene to start creating a Minecraft pillar. 2.3 The snapping tool in Blender allows for easy object alignment and makes creating a Minecraft scene easier, after activating the snapping mode, the move tool will snap objects incrementally as they are moved. 2.4 Watch the demonstration of duplicating a cube, then use the move tool to align the two cubes using the snapping tool, and note that the duplicate objects button won't be used in this tutorial. 2.5 Select the default cube, copy and paste objects, use hotkeys for faster duplication, and use the pan navigation tool to move around. 2.6 Select and manipulate objects in the object properties panel to scale and duplicate cubes in Blender. 3. 11:48 🎬 Learn how to delete, duplicate, and move objects in Blender, use box drag selection, struggle with navigation controls, and switch to the shading tab for a fully rendered world. 3.1 In this chapter, we will learn how to delete objects, including the camera and light, and then move on to multi-select and duplicate objects. 3.2 Learn how to use the multi-selection tool in Blender to duplicate and move objects, and then learn how to do box drag selection. 3.3 Use box drag selection to easily select and copy multiple objects, and move copied objects outside the scene to make selection easier, then use the view frame selected tool for navigation. 3.4 Duplicate and move pillars and cubes, select all, continue duplicating, struggle with navigation controls, and use box drag selection to duplicate side pillars. 3.5 Duplicate and move objects, take your time, learn about the shading tab, and keep going in the video for more tips on creating a 3D world. 3.6 Switch to the shading tab in Blender to go from a default gray flat world to a fully rendered and colourized world, using the top and bottom panels to navigate the 3D view. 4. 18:05 🎨 Customize lighting and add colour/material properties in Blender using the Shader editor, import image textures, and organize/connect nodes for a final textured pillar. 4.1 Customize lighting in Blender by accessing the viewport shading menu and selecting a lighting preset, then get to know the Shader editor in the bottom panel. 4.2 Add color and material properties to objects in Blender, make sure to have a single selection, and use the Shader editor navigation controls to navigate and zoom. 4.3 Adjust the base color using the color wheel, make a selection, and link materials to all objects in Blender 4.0. 4.4 Assign and clean up materials, then import image textures into Blender to create a final textured pillar. 4.5 Repeat the process for importing images into the Shader editor, or use the alternative method of searching for image texture, then organize and connect the nodes to assign the color parameter to the base color parameter. 4.6 Click on the Shader editor to remove the grid, then access the viewport toolbar by going to the view menu and selecting the toolbar to be able to move the bottom pillar. 5. 25:00 🎨 Duplicate and create materials for cubes, add array modifiers, adjust settings, and duplicate layers to create a foundation for pillars and brown dirt. 5.1 Duplicate cubes using crl c control v instead of using the duplicate objects button or shift d, then create brown and green materials. 5.2 Select the correct object, rename the material, and assign the colour in the Shader editor, then duplicate the green cube to create the base foundation for the pillars. 5.3 To add an array modifier to an object in Blender, go to the modifiers panel, click the add modifier button, search for "Array", and then click enter. 5.4 Adjust the array count to duplicate the cube, collapse the array modifier for organization, add a second array modifier, change the direction and count, and duplicate the green cube layer to create the brown dirt layer. 5.5 First, copy and paste the selection, then move it down one unit, deactivate and reselect to remove dark highlight, and finally assign the Brown material. 5.6 Collapse the array modifier, add a new array modifier, change the factor settings, adjust the count, and move/rotate the object into place. 6. 31:33 🎬 Adjust parameters for cinematic effects, set up a timeline for playback and simulations, apply modifiers for rigid body physics and array modifiers to make objects move in simulation. 6.1 The goal is to make the scene look more cinematic by using ambient occlusion and Bloom, adjusting the parameters to exaggerate the effects. 6.2 Rotate around the scene to see shadows and light Bloom effect, then set up the timeline for playback and simulations. 6.3 Change the simulation length to 4 seconds, select all white cubes using the select linked materials tool, and then proceed with an active rigid body simulation. 6.4 Objects can be made to move in a simulation using rigid body physics, but passive objects need to be assigned to prevent them from going through the floor, and array modifiers need to be applied for the simulation to work properly. 6.5 Click on the wrench icon, select the upside-down triangle pull-down option, and click apply to collapse the modifier into the object, then repeat the process for both modifiers. 7. 35:53 🎬 Change gravity to speed up the simulation, sabotage by moving cubes, pause and rewind to fix issues and view the simulation with materials in the shading tab. 7.1 Exaggerate the gravity in the scene properties by changing the z-axis from 9.8 to 30 to speed up the movement in the simulation. 7.2 Sabotage the simulation by moving cubes around to make pillars fall, and be aware of common issues with objects snapping back to their original location. 7.3 To avoid issues with the simulation, pause and rewind as needed, and if the cubes explode, keep following along and use the pause and rewind buttons to adjust them, then view the simulation with materials in the shading tab. 8. 39:01 👍 Practice muscle memory by rebuilding your Minecraft Project to succeed in Blender.

Thanks. I'm moving from C4D to Blender - finally - this was a great help. Subscribed

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.

HEY!!! THERE BACK AT IT AGAIN!! My favorite blender tutoral series. Was even better than the classic donut cuz it kept me motivated

really fun and awesome!

I love how thorough and clear you speak. Subscribed.

This introduction made the software much less intimidating. Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial!

17 minutes in and I can easily determine that this tutorial is waay better than Donut Tutorial.

Hell yeah! Didnt realize you updated this series. Best starter tutorial series out there

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!

Thanks for the informative video! Really learned alot :D

Bro thanks for the tutorial!

Thank you soo much i didn't knew how to use blender but after watching your video it was super easy literally best tutorial

Man, he's back y'all!!!🥳🎉

I thought the donut was good - bro, this was great. Thanks so much for providing this!

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!

Most begginers friendly video. Gonna try more of these projects.

Decided to start blender and your tutorial is very very very helpful and very informative along with being extremely beginner, friendly!

Well explained, step by step with smooth learning process. 👍

Bro the trailer is so epic ngl

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!

please continue this series, its great!

The Only best blender tutor on yt. Love you bro

REALLY HELPED ME MAKE MY FIRST PROJECT

BRO UR THE BEST BLENDER EXPLAINER IVE EVER SEEN!!!!! I LOVE UR VIDS!!!

Tysm! This tutorial helped me so much with blender, going to rebuild the project and watch part 2 after school!

best beginning yotube channel for blender user

Great video!

I searched for silver on KZfaq and found gold. Thank you very much

best explanation even i am weak in english i can understand the instructions clearly . Good job thank you

Your navigation exercise alone would have saved me sooooo much time in Guru's donut tutorial. Great video!

fantastic tutorial, well done.

THE BEST TUTORIAL OUT RIGHT NOW!!! 🥰🥰

Incredibly satisfying, couldn't have started any better. Done for the day can't wait to start part 2 tomorrow

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 🤔

WHAAAAAAT?! 4.0!!!!!! Ok .Going back. Love it!
