"Why" aren't his new 4.0 donut tutorials worth watching again? Is there something wrong with his premise that begs should just "make donuts"?

begs should make whatever they want to make and look up solutions to problems they face, creative problem solving is the most important skill for 3d, donut is a good tutorial to get started and acquainted with interface and general 3d logic but I see a lot of people who are just stuck after they made the donut and don't know what to do next and start searching for more tutorials

I was just starting his old tutorial and he starts another one.

Copying someone doesn’t mean you understand anything. This is why teachers restrict students from copying. You are to learn how 3D works and how the tool works, not become a machine to do the same basic steps. Art is never the same and what the faker does is not artistic expression in any sense. Ge wasn’t the original creator either, the donut was a thing before Blender was born. Just as Disney cheated, the faker also cheated to popular culture.

You're not copy-pasting his blend files

I personally would suggest some other tutorials over his. He is a scumbag promoting NFT's and AI without consequence. I'd rather not let him benefit from increasing his audience even more.

Why is this guy such a huge AI shill? He also shilled NFT when it was a thing HARD.

I haven't seen the 4.0 one but I remember he half assed the 3.0 one compared to 2.8(which was a great tutorial)

A time machine. The 3dcg scene picked up steam in early 2000s and peaked near 2010.

Dude, just write 3D editing software for retarded normies and you'll have a whole community in no time.

because there are a billion other tutorials online also catered to complete beginners that also show you how to make something you actually want to make. It isn't necessarily a bad tutorial in and of itself, but if you want to use blender to make anime women with massive tits you'd be better off looking up beginner tutorials on character modeling rather than wasting your time learning how to make a doughnut. Both tutorials are going to cover a lot of the same ground in regards to navigation and basic tool usage, but the character modeling tutorial is going to contain a lot of more specialized information that the doughnut tutorial would not cover.
There is something to be said about learning this stuff with as little outside assistance as possible, and while that does have merit once you've built up a baseline level of competence in 3dcg if you're a complete newcomer there's no shame in learning some basic techniques from a tutorial. The issue is that some people refuse to take the plunge into learning for themselves and never stray away from tutorials, but the opposite extreme where you never look up any form of outside instruction and spend more time sifting through >10 year old forum threads than actually modeling can be just as bad.

his tutorials are a fucking meme. they made learning blender worse back when i tried them. learned better by just pocking a small project goal and going from there. learn your way instead of listing to a faggot who cant teach, teach you

They are so much more work than just making something traditionally. Geometry nodes have also significantly tanked performance since they were added.

Is he actually using fucking geometry nodes to distribute the candy toppings instead of a simple hair particle system

I've never liked people recommending this tutorial to beginners, because of one thing:
Its teaching you in the wrong order. You are learning things like particle systems, texture painting, shader systems, and more before you learn the most basic thing: actual fucking modeling (which I'm pretty sure doesn't happen until Part 14/37 out some shit).

It's meant to show you little bits here and there while you learn the UI and the shortcuts, not an in depth tutorial on some specific things. It's great at what it's doing which is not what you want.

Just make a fucking donut and a chair to familiarize yourself with the fucking software ffs.
