blender guru’s infamous donut tutorial
2022
This playful 3D donut was my first Blender creation, capturing a cartoony aesthetic with a fun, vibrant look. Floating against a plain background, it brings a touch of whimsy with its plasticky texture and simple setup. This donut was my intro into 3D modeling outside of Architecture and marked the beginning of my journey into the world of digital art.

In this updated 3D donut, I focused on creating a realistic scene, incorporating a countertop with soft morning light that bathes the donut and adds depth to the composition. The donut is in sharp focus, with a shallow depth of field that renders the plants and kitchen utensils in the background with a smooth, natural bokeh. Subtle subsurface scattering in the icing gives it a rich, semi-translucent quality. This piece reflects my progress in modeling and lighting, bringing the donut to life in a more sophisticated, atmospheric setting.
