#BLENDER GLOWING NEON DONUT PDF#

In my case, I am using a freely available image from the Wikimedia Commons. It’s always a good idea to “work from reference”, so go find a donut that you like. Note: The option “Project Individual Elements” in the snap tool is actually what causes all of our selection to snap to the surface of the donut, rather than just the single vertex we selected. Make sure you select “Snap to Face” and “Project Individual Elements”, as shown here:ĭragging the mesh now keeps the icing snapped to the surface of the donut: You can fix this using the “Snap” tool at the top of the viewport. From edit mode, if we grab a vertex on the icing mesh and simply drag it down (with proportional editing turned on), the rest of the mesh will tend to end up “inside” the donut, like this: We now want to give our icing some “dribbly bits” that droop down the donut (like real icing tends to do as it cools). Snapping Our Icing To The Face Of The Donut

With solidify turned off in the viewport, we see this (much better!): With solidify turned on in the viewport, edit mode for our icing looks like this: We want to hide the solidify modifier we added to the icing, so that it doesn’t cover up our mesh while we’re in edit mode (otherwise, it’s quite hard to edit the mesh since we can’t select it). This file is the result of my work after following along with the steps in the YouTube video. You can download the associated “.blend” file here.

I’ll be making additional notes for each of the videos in the series! Just some notes I made while following along with this now-famous blender donut tutorial.
