If you’re working through your first donut, let me tell you something that might motivate you. 2 years ago I was working on my first donut as a 45 year old guy that never touched any 3D design application ever, and couldn’t draw a proper stick figure to save my life. Starting with a donut, I now have a 3d design and animation side hustle that might one day eclipse my full time income, and I actually love doing it. You never know where this donut will take you.
nice! do you get get clients through upwork, or something else?
Hi great stuff, what genre do you specialize in? I hope that's not a dumb question
@@marred2277 I get all my work now via word of mouth. I originally started by offering animated business logo designs locally in neighborhood Facebook groups, and I did a free giveaway through a project called “Buy Nothing” where you gift things to people. Through the buy nothing offering I created a CZcams channel intro for a local acupuncture clinic, which in and of itself led to about $20k in work through other local businesses.
@@STANY0307 not a dumb question at all. Right now I’m specializing in mostly 3D business logo design, but I’ve been doing a lot of animated social media branding work, like CZcams channel intros. That’s been relatively new the past 6-9 months but has been taking off. I do some odd jobs here and there, for example I did some animated graphics for a local company to use for their website.
@@Ferrous_Bueller thanks for the reply. And that's great what you are doing! You came a long way in just two years unlike me. I wish you keep growing and improving. I am 17 and have decent skills in 3D. However I can't decide what niche I should choose. I like making interior scenes for horror games but not sure if that would earn me enough to pursue that as a career. So maybe I will go with architecture visualisation or maybe environment art. Not sure, still confused after 2 years of using Blender lol
Knowledge gained after these tutorials:
80% knowledge about Blender
20% knowledge about how donuts are made and why they look the way they look
can you please help me ! i have downloaded blender , started following the donut series to learn it , cleared all the steps and when geometry node came into play I can to know that there is no option for geometry nodes in my blender's drop down menu . Now I am unable to continue my learning . please help me.
@@vinayaksen4896 It should be there if you clicked the [General] at the home screen but if it's not there. Click the *+* icon (it should be called "add workspace") then click [General] and then [geometry nodes]
note: the *+* should be located at the top, where there is tab like Layout, Modeling, Sculpting, etc...
@@vinayaksen4896 If your pc is small, then at the top where stuff like layout, texture paint, and Sculpting are there, then you might have to scroll on that to see it. Then click on geometry nodes.
top tier comment 😂😂
@@vinayaksen4896try using the scroll wheel in the part where "Layout, Modelling, Sculpting" and all those stuff are. Geometry nodes are almost at the end of the list
16:48 was a bit unclear, but our Guru selected the "Group Input" node, then hit "N" on the keyboard, and double clicked on the "Density Max" label to change it's name.
Yeah, had to google it to find out!
tysm for pointing that out
You can see every keys he pressed at the bottom of the video
Thank you!
Right, it's the properties for the node. Cheers :)
I have been working on this project for a month now. Restarted the actual donut 6 times. Restarted the icing 3 times. Restarted the sprinkles 4 times. Finally just finished part 6! If youre reading this dont give up! You will finish the donut! One step at a time. Thank you Blender Guru!!!!
donut give up
I'm stucked at he Named Attribute poitn : the Density Factor don't fu..ng want to show up, as well as the Sprinkle Density name under "Name"......can't figure why.....very disapointing
@@SKYNETSTUDIO press N while selecting the input
Uff I really needed to hear this...😫
i restarted the icing 2 times cause it crashed twice and i forgot to save
Anyone struggling with slow zoom and panning after shrinking the Donut, it's a pretty easy fix.
Go to Edit --> Preferences --> Navigation, then under auto check Depth. This should make your actions scale properly to your zoom and make navigation feel the same as with the bigger donut.
Thank you so much
Thanks, exactly the issue I have had
thanks!!!
thank you very much
OMG, thanks man! I was really struggling :)
I never saw someone successfully monetize only one object for years in 3D as much as you. Amazing :D
Well, this is not an ordinary 3d object, it's a brand by now. It is popular and recognized by almost every one in 3d industry.
Cus it works. I'm new to 3D. ...6 tutotirls in :) and his tutorials are they best I found. Easy to understand and follow.
If you wanna make some dough, make doughnuts?

@@vinayaksen4896 You might have solved this already but if you haven`t, Just scroll in the workspace by dragging it by the middle mouse button, if isn't there click on the plus sign>General>Geometry Nodes
After I finish this donut and render it, I'm going to buy a dozen donuts to celebrate
Why buy them, just eat the ones you made in Blender :)
@@Jez2008UKThen he has to make himself in blender and animate himself eating the donuts.😂
@@anzaklaynimationnah, they can just 3D print them.
@@notahotshot But how can you eat 3d printed donuts?
@@anzaklaynimation instead of using plastic in the printer put in the ingredients for the donut
I love how he remade this series so many times. And everytime it gets better.
The fact that he keeps it up to date as blender updates is so nice
@@han_463 The man is a legend. Think of all the 3D careers he's kick started!
And faster. I have to redo every section a few times to keep up with what I missed.
that's great but there aren't many detailed videos on his channel, I mean other than this donut series in different versions
If anyone else has the issues that your sphere sprinkles are huge, hit CTRL+A on the UV Sphere to apply scale
you are a life saver
same thing as he says at 19:50 ;)
Any ideas why my geometry nodes themselves are huge? I haven't applied an object to them yet and my particle diamond shapes are about 20x bigger than the video. Have already applied scale to everything.
Thanks, I was wondering why the size wasn't changing
Thanks
If your sprinkles look SO SO SO SO much smaller, after applying scale, make sure to also apply scale on the icing, you might have only applied it on the donut.
Yes! Thank you very much for pointing it out. The icing were missing the scale indeed!
Thank you so much
my live saver thank you!
The life Saver
THANK YOUU
*Note: If your icing part's missing the top vertices when you try Weight Paint, remember to unhide them by 'Alt+H'
life saver
true, i actually forgot this step from some of the previous video
Thank God bro you saved me
You're a god
How do I thumbs up a comment twice?
GEOMETRY NODES - at 7:41 I actually had to attach the "Object Info" scale output to the "Instance on Points" scale input for this to work properly. Otherwise, I got HUGE spheres all over my donut. My first thought was to click "relative" in the "Object Info" node and that fixed the scaling issue but all of the sprinkle spheres were offset in a bad position.
Thank you!
I had the same issue. thanks for the fix!
You saved my day man! Thank you.
I'm so confused just done it n didn't fix it, would be something else on my end?
@@shawnthomas2995 hey bro i also face that phase so ,i overcome by just delete the sphere and recreate sphere for sprinkles and also delete the instance on points and object info node and recreate with and that solve my problem i hope you will already fix that problem , but at future if you stuck as the same situation you can apply my method . hope this will help your.
Folks, if you're having issues with your icing "exploding" after the apply scale at 20:25, go back to your Solidify modifier on the icing and reduce its thickness value. I chose 0.0003m for my approx 0.125m (X/Y dimensions) donut.
Thank you!!
I decided to do this because i had this problem but it started to go inside my donut and the original problem still isnt fixed
same@@arjunthakur-cc5vu
thanks a lot !!!!!!
Icing spheres haven't scaled down correctly for some reason and I cannot seem to find the solidify modifier you are mentioning.
edit: If anyone has very large sprinkles after scaling down, go to geometry nods then on the lower part of the screen w/ the node tables, find "instance on points" and under scale set xyz to 0.1 after that you can set a higher density for sprinkles
I feel so excited every morning to wake up to a new episode and continue to edit my yesterday’s donut where I left off. Also feels like we’re part of future history by watching these one by one as they get released 😂❤
If you happen to be following this tutorial, and you're at about 5:30, and you're wondering why the ball doesn't appear for you the same way it does for him, as well as why the menu is different... It's because your mouse cursor need to be in the viewport segment, NOT in the geometry nodes segment. I didn't even realize it could matter, but had to rewatch a couple times to figure it out
🙏
I have never touched 3D software before and the same little old me has currently a donut with sprinkles on top.. just awesome! 🤩👍 Can't wait to learn more, thank you so much Andrew!
This lesson is very easy to follow. Easier than the last version for sure.
One of my biggest criticisms though with these tutorials is that Andrew's 20 years of experience has him on a different level than us and I think he forgets that sometimes. He tends to fly through some steps without mentioning what he does. He's pretty good about it like 98 percent of the time but that ONE thing that he forgets to mention, takes him two seconds, because he knows how to do it, but for those who don't know how to do it, they have to spend an hour to hours figuring out a small step that could have been mentioned. I can understand that his time is limited but so is ours sometimes.
In this case, it's when he renamed Density Max to Sprinkle Density. He just hit N without mentioning it and didn't tell us that
that was what we have to do to rename that value. If you would have simply mentioned that we had to hit N, we could have seamlessly gone to the next step. (To rename Density Max, hit N to pull up the properties menu and you can rename it there).
Thankfully I figured it out within a couple of minutes thanks to having to deal with stuff like this before, but unfortunately many beginners who are relying on him to teach us articulately will be spending an hour to hours googling how to rename that value. Mentioning every step is kind of critical and I've had to spend hours in the past trying to figure out things that could have been mentioned in one second.
This isn't just Andrew either. It's many of these guys teaching Blender. EVERY DETAIL MATTERS and one small mistake can ruin your project just as they have ruined several of mine in the past.
I find it a simple solution to look at the display that shows the keys he's pressing at the bottom of the screen, if that helps you
@Colesia_EMA THANK YOU!!! I was searching for this exactly this! I felt the same throughout this series so far.
I really liked the analogy of the bugs hitting the large and matchbox cars. It helps to visualize what is happening. Thanx.
19:38 If the scaling doesn't seem to be working, press N to bring up the menu on the right of the screen, go to Tool > Options > Transform and untick everything next to Affect Only.
Thank you
Thanks
Everything was deselected but when i scale down my donut i can't zoom into it, i don't know why but even it's in the same scale as in the video it might becoming too small
@@kardelenerltr316 Press the period/dot key on your numpad (it has to be the one on the numpad) when the object is selected to zoom right into it. You can also try holding shift + ctrl when zooming in on objects if it's refusing to zoom properly. There's something about the way Blender zooms where it can occasionally get confused about the scale and that usually helps.
Ah thanks you that help me lot
Thank you for building up the skills to help others learn!
I can't believe I was following the 3.0 tutorials all day (started my donut this morning) and I kept having to go on google for tips as the versions have some different settings... and I'm at the last step of my donut... and NOW I see there is a new series uploaded yesterday 🤣🤣😭 I'm gonna finish this donut and start again!
Same here, I didn't realize I had the latest Blender (4.0) that was released November 13th
Thank you for the great tutorial! I used the exactly same geometry nodes to generate Christmas ornaments on digital trees and was really happy about the result!😊
literally "looking forward to the next episode" every day this week. (although I admit to going back to last-year to review the differences between this year and last!). As I see in some comments here people are sharing stories as to how this is impacting their career. I'm a creative director / art director - so, I generally just "direct" people on specific elements for a project, such as 3D animators, or motion graphics designers for various projects. Thanks to this channel (basically, although not the only one I follow), I now feel confident enough to just jump in and build some of the more common / basic animations myself (simpler things like logo animations, etc. etc.) - but... honestly, a great time saver because I can now speak the language a little better when working with animators, or... (often to their horror!)... I'll just build an example myself and say "well, more like this!"... love it. And... I always show 3D animators my donuts so they can know exactly where my mad skillz come from. AND... I have actually converted a few die-hard Maya animators... to Blender, recently, because they now are starting to believe it might be worth it if a clueless senior AD can use it, it's probably worth looking at. After this donut - I think I am actually going to build a few actual production-ready animations for projects myself in Blender.
I was doing the previous Blender Donut series. It is much better to start with the spheres than jump directly into the long sprinkles. It was a bit harder to absorb all that info. Thanks for the great series
Is it just me or is he like a superhero to 3D? Thank you for saving us from the complex world of blender.
I have been following your channel for 2 years and still, I learn new stuff here.
Just started on my donut!
I have so many advanced ideas I would love to come alive one day.
Thank you for making such a well explained, easy to understand guide.
Blender is very intimidating but you make it less daunting.
Time to make a virtual donut. 6 days in a row for this part 6. Thanks a lot.
It's so awesome that this new donut tutorial seems simpler and uncomplicated than the previous one, yet there's a lot of new things being discussed and clarified.
i finally collected enough natural world energy to go through the tutorial.. NOW IM AT PART 6
I congratulate myself ... thank you good sir for this nice tutorial so far.
This series is very good and focused on high quality realistic scenes. I can tell you really mastered this as you know the solution to every special case issue that arises.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, well done.
I'm definitely saving this video for later on, there's so many gems in this one that I'll for sure be coming back to later on. Keep up the great work! You're inspiring so many future animators/creatives!
After 5 tutorials, I realized the tutorials have been scheduled to be published at 11PM everyday. So I waited until 11PM tonight for a fresh donut.
1 AM for me!
It’s because he is Australian
2pm for me… 2am when I get to my home state.
3 PM for me
6am for me which is awesome when i wake up
i just finish part 5 and now part 6 is here 2 hours later, very nice :)
Wow! I had to slow the speed of the video down in a few parts to catch all of the key strokes. The sizing of the donut changed my camera view. I will be patient through the next few videos and see if we cover the positioning of the light and camera. Lots of info in this video! I am still with you Blender Guru!
Looking good so far, learned a lot, and finally geometry nodes has "clicked" for me! Thank you
With spherical sprinkles it's very easy to do an exactly correct minimum distance if you do not want any overlap, which is just twice the radius of your spheres, so if you use a radius of 0.01 for the sphere, just use a distance of 0.02 for the min distance. Of course once you do the elongated sprinkles, that's no longer going to be true
Amazing tutorial. Cheers from Poland!
Thanks for the "it's just a screen layer, don't get disorientated" really helped me to not freak out
It's been almost a week that I found your channel and I'm on my half way of making my 1st donut. I already subcribe your channel, so today I want to comment. Thanks a lot, your channel is a perfect tutorial, easy to understand by telling me what to do step by step as a beginner, not like other channel that don't describe what the used of each thing in blender, and they're so fast for me to see what are they clicking. Thanks also for the Poliigon website that you created free to use for someone who's still stuck at making money to buy a professional software that cost a lot of penny. God bless you sir. 👍🏼
side note for anyone maybe thinking about using the multiple doughnut idea...
its a good idea to also link the "seed" value to the Group output node. although the amount of sprinkles changes, changing the orientation of the sprinkles does just as much, if not more to make em look random. (with the seed value just radomizing what random you get in that specific instance)
One small feedback item I have is that it would be helpful for you to verbalize some quick movements you do. I know it shows most of your actions on the bottom of the screen but if you are quickly using hotkeys to swap views, or change modes, or go full screen, or back to geometry nodes its helpful to tell us what you are clicking as a reminder. Example: I had to click back a few times at 16:52 I had to watch a few times to see how you brought up the option to name the input.
Thanks for the great course just trying to put in my 2 cents as a beginner designer following along!
Just in case you didn't notice - every button he presses is displayed on the screen, so if you're confused about how something was done, look there. It also helps when there's a small error, like when he says he pressed Ctrl+Tab to go full screen at 9:23, but the keys displayed are the correct Ctrl+Space.
Yes, I'm struggling to figure out how to bring back the Geometry Nodes second window from the full screen. When I click Geometry Nodes, nothing happens now. I don't get any new screen below. I know it is something simple, I just can't find it, even with googling forums.
lmao its sad to see less and less likes and views on each video. Went crazy on blender for a few months last year and forgot nearly everything so these videos have been a god send. Thank you Andrew
Hey I love how much effort you put in your videos ! I love your explanations and i could watch your videos all day long , thank you !
I must say this is a great tutorial. I've tried every time you've made a new one of these but have never finished it. This is as far as I've ever gotten and I'm honestly really pumped. I know that so many people in the comments are saying stuff like this but I genuinely hope I finish it this time around. Blender is something I've wanted to learn for the better part of a decade but somehow never could. Heres hoping I stick with it this time. Thanks for your help. :)
Keep at it. You can do it!
Literally just though about blender for the first time in months and boom. 15 seconds ago upload
I had my donut whole the time in an appropriate size and thus had huge troubles following the sprinkles. This actually forced me to play a bit around in order to still get a desired result. Thumbs up!
I made my donut around .09m in diameter (more like a bundt cake than a donut) and the sprinkles are an issue, even though they're .002m. I noticed when I followed his instructions for distribution points on face and increased the density, there were still no points visible. Everytime I try one of his tutorials, something cursed happens that hardly anyone else, or no one else is experiencing and I don't know how to fix it.
Edit: He does the 4.0 tutorial different than the previous ones. Didnt think he would scale it down later in the tutorial. Guess I should start over and actually follow instructions😅
I feel like I began my 3D modeling journey at a renaissance of 3D modeling in Blender, because man, using Blender isn't difficult at all, but quite intimidating before I began, and learning of what is now possible as to previous versions, has me quite hyped, and thankful for all of you who put time and effort into making this software an incredible tool to create and make art. Thank you!
12:20 I cant find the "named attribute" when I search for it. Please how do I get it, I am stucked.
You should do a procedural donut tutorial using Geometry Nodes
Someone already did: czcams.com/video/kkIDdmIBBlY/video.html
Truuuuuue
These are such amazing tutorials. Thank you so very much. Exceptionally comprehensive and entertaining.
Interesting approach differente to the one we had in the previous donut, loving it so far.
13:32 Not negative, just less, although if you paint with a lower strength on an area with a bigger strength then it is negative, because it'll reduce the particles in that area
My brain overheating
"I could be building a car in the future and It needs sprinkles, and I can just drop this on" incredible. Innovative. can't wait to sprinkle everything
I love every thing about your tutorial Andrew, end with every iteration it becomes better and better! 🙏🙏, I hope the sprinkles part uses the primitive geometry nodes instead of a modeled object, but I agree I guess it is worth mentioning at least 🙏🙏, the modeled object is also great because it teaches about that, and a person who follows this tutorial will learn about that and can use arbitrary 3d models and scatter them around
Am I the only one lost at this point? Every single step it doesn't quite fit well but I wont give up! I think he's making movements that he doesn't explain like unconsciously assuming that we should know it already but I love this guy anyways!!
Lol Andrew, just wanted to let you know on 18:50 when you scaled the donut, the reason it was scaling incorrectly was because you had your pivot point set to median point (it takes the average origins and scale their locations). Change your pivot point right above your view port next to global. You can use the 3d curse pivot or the active element, which acts like a child parent relationship.
I know you knew this. Probably just forgot.
Holy crap, thank you!!! 🎆
thankssssss
Finally got to Part 6. I was banging my donut against the wall trying to get something remotely realist and looking like what was designed in parts 1-5. Blender UI controls still blows my mind compared to other "drawing" applications (both 2d and 3d) that I've used in the past. I personally think they put way to much into Blender for a single app (coming from a seasoned software developer), but that's not a fault of Blender Guru who created these awesome videos to help me get through making a donut. I never actually baked a real donut to eat, but wonder if it's as difficult to do the first time (making just 1 or 2 donuts by hand without a machine to assist).😋
Thanks so much yo. Appreciate you helping us beginners in the complex world of blender.
If you have an issue with zooming in and moving around being really slow or just stop after you shrink everything to real world size, go to edit -> preferences -> navigation and then check depth in the section that says auto
Thanks I was just looking for this!
It seems there are two ways to add an UV Sphere, but only one which actually makes sense and works.
The way he shows is when being in Object Mode and, this is important, have the UPPER part of the window active (e.g. when you just click on the Donut or the plane). This way you get the same menu as shown in the video and the UV Sphere will be added into the "Scene collection" where you also have the Donut, icing, light, camera, and plane.
When I tried it, the bottom part of the window (the one with the nodes) was active, and it shows a slightly different menu where the UV Sphere is located at "Mesh - Primitives - UV Sphere". Someone would say: Who cares? Must be same, no? No.
This way the UV Sphere will be added directly as a NODE but NOT as an OBJECT, like in the video. For some reason, this has some effect, as later on I cant smooth the sprinkles.
This is completely counterintuitive, as everything happens in the node section, except this particular action.
I love how he remade this series, and Imperial Unit System is wacky all the time😁
I haven't touched Blender in a while and damn! Those Geometry Nodes are sick!
9:24 he said control tab but its control space just so you dont get confused
''Im giving different sprinkle amounts to different donuts, like a mad man. No one can stop me" 🤣
Hi! Well... some years ago I have been learning Cinema4D and Cheetah3D, but had to stop in 2019. Meanwhile my son got into 3D printing, and thus was using Blender. He told me it was a great piece of software. I tried modeling and Grease Pencil (I love the 2D animation in 3D world environment !), but was pretty overwhelmed. Two days ago I started again, with searching for a good tutorial. Soooo glad to have found this! First 4 episodes I repeated several times, and now I've just finished Episode 5. And I just do not want to stop, LOL! Thank you so much for putting these tutorials together! You have no idea how helpful this, since that goes beyond using Blender only.
finally, some good video that actually teaches you geometry node!
I knew I could not remember all of the shortcuts and utilities so I wrote most of them down. It definitely helps. Great video like always.
i wrote most of them down step by step 😅😅😅😅
He has cheat sheet
If your stuck with named attribute and can`t find it (like me). In point distribute there is a density factor in it you need to put sprinkel density. 😁
If the above doesn't work, update ur blender to the latest version and then try again
So many donuts, so many donuts tutorial. I love it.
Thank you so much for this amezing tutorial 🙌🔥🍩

I looked on google how to access the Name Attribute node but it just tells me to type it in the search and it will show up. Any tips or tricks would be great! Thank you! **EDIT: I realized I was using Blender 3.2. If you are having this same issue make sure you are using Blender 4.0 and Named Attribute pops up right away when you type it in the search

Ty already cant wait for the next part
at 12:25, when I first attempted to do the named attribute node, I made the node after renaming the vertex group but when I clicked the box to bring up the pop up menu, nothing appeared in the menu, it was completely blank. I however undid the last few steps and reattempted the steps from the application of the weight painting to this step and it worked. I would like to know if anyone ever came across this issue before and what was the potential mistake being made?
I'm like you and I'm stuck now 😂
Hi there, been following along really well except for 15:20. How are you duplicating the donut without also selecting the plane? Also I cant get the modifier to show on the right side to change the amount of sprinkles on one donut and not the other
To duplicate as shown in the video, you need to manually select both the icing and donut object using shift+lmb then duplicate them using shift+d
thanks, was stuck here
@@TheLizardous Thanks!
@@TheLizardoushi, so I did as you said and it seemed to have worked but the only thing that I see when I moved the cursor is the x/y/z scale and not the donut itself. how can I fix this?
To get the sprinkles to show up click the icing where the collection is
Finished part 4!!! Thank you, man!
Probably stupid question but I moved the view off of the donut and for some reason I just can't figure out how to focus on the donut again. I am clicking numpad period, numpad zero, (i'm in the geometry node view btw) and i just can't get back. The only way back is to meticulously move the camera with shift middle-mouse button and then angle it and repeatedly try to get the camera back on the donut again
Num pad period "." next to the Zero should focus to item selected in outliner. Hope that helps out!
Definitely learned my lesson to check the real-world scale of my object in the beginning of a project...my donut was 2,65 meters big and the frosting totally exploded when I tried to resize it and apply scale :D
Same. Fixed by modifying frosting's solidify thickness and offset settings (preferably before applying to scale, but after works as well).
20:56 I really love the way he explains "the bugs that are hittinf the car" for The density in relation of the world example
this one was the hardest for me yet, BRUTAL, but you still speak so nicely regardless. I don't trust you anymore!
Hello, your tutorials are really great! But, problem, I can't find the "named attribute" is this normal?

@@topshelfmikeI updated mine and its still not showing up do you have any solutions?

for some reason even though I duplicate the donut attachment (including the dough and the icing) the icing doesn't get duplicated , I even paired them (is it related to locking the transform?) plz help

In the collections panel, ctrl-select donut and icing both. Then do shift+d to duplicate them together.
This guy is directly responsible for my ordering donuts the other night because of how delicious the one I'm building looks.
Awsome Tutorial! For some reason I didn't had to do any scale adjustments. Everything translate fine when scaling.
as a blender, i very much blender to this blender
facts and blender blender

For some reason "named input" at 12:17 doesn't show up for me no matter how much I try?
Same here
I had the exact same problem as you, and what made it work for me was to simply save the project, close the program, and open it back up again. Hopefully this fixes it!
So far so good. Awesome tutorial!
When I scaled everything down to real-world size it made the icing and donut base clip in a few places, fixed by scaling up the icing slightly. Also had to reset the cursor to the world origin by right clicking, snap, cursor to world origin. Things weren't sitting on the floor, so re-positioned that too.
12:20 Can't figure out what I've done wrong. In name atribute the "sprinkle density" I name my Vertex group WILL NOT SHOW UP.
There's Point, Face Corner, Edge, and Face, but no vertex group I make will appear. No idea what I did wrong.

When I add points using geometry nodes I get one giant point and my icing disappears. I was able to bring back my icing just by following the tutorial but not the sprinkle's size
same problem here. I only get giant points but not small ones, thought it was the scale but no. IDK why this is happening
Had the same issue, just ignore it for a bit. He created the UV sphere 6:32 and used it as a reference. You can just set the small scale and you should be good.
Same issue. I think the issue is probably because we have followed or remembered Blender 3.0 donut tutorials and scaled donut to be in real world scale before reaching this point. Just like @markoburak6549 says, ignore it for a moment and continue watching the video then we should be fine.
As soon as you said "So" an advert came on saying "So you think you know Wix?" the timing was perfection 💀
The thumbs up keep getting fewer and fewer. :D I'm loving thye tutorial. I've never used the program before and it makes it not so scary! Thank you!
At 20:30 when I try to apply scale to my object, instead of making most of my sprinkles disappear, it actually made them larger. Can anyone explain to me why this happened?
For me they are smaller 😂
Same
Have you found a solution?
10:06 when i press weight paint, my icing is not completely blue there's a unselected/no color round area please help
as same as you .have you resolved it now？
IF YOU SELECT YOUR ICING AND GO BACK TO EDIT MODE IN THE TOP LEFT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO HIT ALT+H AND IT WILL UNHIDE THE HIDDEN SECTION. Haha caps lock.

@jyitz look at my reply above.
Press alt h if you’re still on it
@@AARIV I love you
Wow that s a great tutorial showing scene nodes pretty well!
This series has been great. I got stuck on real world size / scaling because I was using the scroll wheel instead of moving the mouse which was causing things to go haywire and end up with everything floating above the axis.
it's end of my first day in blender. i managed to came this far! every time someone liked this comment i will go back and practise 10 min per like :D
My donut looks a lot better than the first one
