These negative thoughts regarding what we are or did eat cause the hypothalamus to transmit negative signals. This is the part of your brain that harmonizes mental inputs along with biological processes that take place in your body. The science behind this is the role of the hypothalamus. If you ever find yourself feeling shame, guilt, or disgust during or after eating… your state of mind is going to affect your metabolism. Not only does it affect your digestion but it can even cause weight gain. Notice that I left our the words “can cause”… reason being is because they DO. They hinder digestion, create acidity, adversely affect self-confidence and body image. Negative emotions have a horrible effect on your body. As tasty as they are and certainly more nutritious than store-bought doughnuts, we tend to feel guilty when we partake of sweet treats, and I wanted to give you some food for thought… Negativity Affects the Body Lastly, we added condensation along the inside of the rim of the glass using an image texture.Are you looking for a little dose of happiness? This is a recipe for thick, chocolate, delicious doughnuts that just happen to have a kiss of coffee in every bite. To create a realistic coffee look, we added a yellowish volume with a high density value to give darkness in deeper areas. To create the liquid to go in the cup, we duplicated the inside mesh of the cup and added a top with surface tension along the side of the glass. We started with modelling the cup and applying a glass material to it. To accompany the doughnut, we started to model a glass coffee cup from the reference image below. Depite the colour looking better, the doughnut still looked quite stylised so we added procedural texture to add small bumps and larger bumps that looked like they had bubbled from the hot oil. We texture painted the doughnut to look more ‘cooked’. Now the icing is complete so we moved on to adding colour and texture to the doughnut. We then used weight paint to decide where the sprinkles should ‘fall’ onto the doughnut. To add the sprinkles, we added a hair particle setting where we replaced the paths/strands with sprinkle models that are randomly coloured from our pastel colour palette. Below are some of my first renders in Blender. To achieve the glossy icing look, we reduced the roughness and increased the subsurface scattering to add a more realistic and almost fleshy food look. Next we added a basic colour material to the doughnut and worked on the icing. We started by modelling the doughnut which we then sculpted in more shape and imperfections to add realism. In this post I’m going to share some of my Blender progress as I am really happy with the results so far!

I love how this tutorial series goes above and beyond just the doughnut. To get started with Blender, I have been learning from Andrew Price’s doughnut tutorial which I have read online is highly recommended.

I’ve always had a passion for art and learning new mediums, so this is super fun for me too!Īs I mentioned, I have used Maya in the past for modelling however, I wanted to learn Blender as it should be a good (and free) alternative to using ZBrush when it comes to sculpting. Regardless of the area in CG I pursue, I believe it will be really beneficial. I really want to have a good understanding of 3D modelling as it’s a fundamental part of CG. Having some experience using Maya, I decided to learn Blender by starting with Andrew Price’s iconic doughnut tutorial!
