When you first start learning about blender most people will stumbe upon the Donut turtorial. So did I. The donut took me about 20 hours to complete and the video took 10 hours to render on a laptop with a i7-10750H – 2.6 GHz, 16 GB DRR4, GTX 2070 super.

It at started with a torus, which was sculpted to have a modern donut shape with the the slight indent in the center which is caused as when the donut is fried the middle does not get under the oil. This is also why the middle is lighter. The color was simply added with the paint tool implemented in blender.

The glaze was made with a 1 3rd of a torus wrapped onto the top of the donut. The more natural spill is made by sculping arches and inflating the ends to make droplets. The sprinkles are bend cylinders using an array and shrinkwrap modifiers.
