Hi Philipp! I really like your tutorials, it really helped me a lot. I would like to know if there is a possibility that you will create detailed tutorials about water flow analysis? Thank you. It would really help me and, and for sure other people.

Hi - love your suggestion.
not sure yet how to do that...
I did use a simple script and a GH plugin called anemone(I think) to do that...
but there might be a better way.... I will keep it in mind.

@@PhilippGalvanDesign thank you Philipp!! I hope to learn it from you someday.

Hi thank you for the great content as usual. I wondering if would you mind sharing your laptop/OC specifications? and do you have any recommendations for buying a laptop for a 1200USD budget? I am also working with rhino grasshopper, ladybug and honeybee. Thank you in advance :)

Hi yuliana, I have assembled a quite powerful Desktop for my work. If you go for a laptop you might want to make sure you have enough ram.
16gb is the absolute minimum I would say. Better 32gb or 64gb. If you don't cut videos or render a lot you could go with a cheaper graphic card probably but if you want use enscape, unreal or other realtime render engines etc... a good graphic card saves a lot of time... With 1200USD you might get a decent intel processor i7 and 16 maybe 32gb ram but you might need to cut down in terms of graphic card and storage space, screen type or screen size etc...
We use DELL laptops in the Studio and they are quite good. The Inspiron series might fit your budget but if you look for a really powerful laptop you might need to spend more. Another way would be to pay in installments... The DELL XPS series are very good laptops...
Also keep in mind that I speed up some of my videos when the computer is progressing and what you see in the video often takes several minutes in reality so even a very fast computer might take some time...
