Adding Icing to the Imaginary Donut

Today in Blender learning, we duplicated the donut, wiped out the bottom half, solidified it outward to make the icing, and then played with the edges and extruded some drips.

I followed along in the tutorial reasonably well, though I did... something... that made the mesh of the icing disappear into the donut even though I did the stuff to make that not happen. Though clearly I didn't. Have I ever mentioned how hard it is to follow instructions?

Also, at one point there was a break in physics and a couple vertices transported to the other side of the donut, creating an odd bar through the middle. I just deleted those vertices because that seemed like the easiest way to fix it. Is there a weird flat spot somewhere on the icing where vertices are missing? If there is, I haven't found it.

All in all, I'm still pretty close to the desired output.


This tutorial is making me hungry.
