Making a Donut in Blender

As I began to explore the world of 3D modeling and animation, I stumbled upon an incredible free program called Blender. What impressed me the most was its ability to simulate fluids using a plugin for C4D. Although I only scratched the surface, I was thrilled by its capabilities.

Compared to other 3D programs, Blender is surprisingly affordable, especially considering it's free. Many 3D tools are inaccessible without student licensing, making it difficult for individuals like me to explore their potential. As a beginner, I needed to become more familiar with the software and interface, so I started following a beginner's tutorial to get my feet wet.

The world can be a terrifying place, and we all need something sweet to lift our spirits. That's why I chose this particular video series, which employs procedurally generated elements and covers basic modeling commands, node handling, and scene construction. In this tutorial, we'll create a delicious donut using Blender 2.8.

To begin, click on the 'Geometry Nodes' tab in the top menu bar. This will allow us to see our geometry node setup alongside our donut. If you can't find this tab, look for the down arrow near the top right corner of the top menu bar and select it from the dropdown list.

For those who are new to Blender, I'll provide a step-by-step guide on how to create a donut using its powerful geometry nodes feature. In the following sections, we'll explore each stage of the process, from setting up our workspace to adding textures and colors to our donut.

By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a mouth-watering donut that's sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. So let's get started!
