About this course
Andrew Price's well-known beginner series on the Blender Guru channel, made for Blender 4.0. You build a donut scene from scratch while learning the fundamentals: the interface, basic modelling, modelling the icing, sculpting, shading, geometry nodes for scattering sprinkles, rendering, scene layout, lighting, compositing and animation, finishing with a final render. It suits anyone new to 3D who wants one clear, complete project. Newer Blender versions move some menus, but the core skills carry over. Afterwards, try a second project such as a simple room or product render.
Before you start: A computer that can run Blender (free download).
