Someones grand 3D adventure is about the start with this.

It genuinely pleases me that nobody rips this guy off. The donut is a perfect tutorial, and he does such a great job. In every other situation you'd see a thousand cloned ripoffs, but that doesn't happen here. Excellent.

A new donut tutorial, the dawn of a new era 🔥

That's a canonical moment for a lot of people. Welcome and here we go again, fellas. Godspeed.

I randomly clicked on the donut tutorial about 3 and a half years ago, it literally changed my life. I was depressed and hopeless then, but now I do something that I'm not only so passionate about but also I get paid to do it.
Thank you, Andrew!🙏

Your last donut tutorial was the one that really clicked for me. Enough that it kept me learning for a year and a half straight. I’m now so much further along in my 3D journey than I ever imagined. I truly hope it resonates with others the way it did for me 👍👍👍
