So I'm an artist (many different mediums)- brand new to the animation world. I was asked to be involved in making a cartoon! So maybe I have some new skills to learn... Can I just create character designs FOR an animator, or do I character design + learn animation in order to make the cartoon happen...??? Thoughts? Advice?
Honestly, im 13 and have always had the dream of working as a Disney animator and my mom has allowed me to choose a computer to buy. BUT i understood barely anything from this.. Could you please recommend what kind of computer would be good for a person who has no idea about animation but tons of ambition? I feel like a touchscreen ipad-computer 2 in one would be great.

Hey, whatever you do, DO NOT get an Ipad to animate on if you're looking at 3D Animation. You need a proper computer, and a Windows computer is going to be way better for you than a Mac/Ipad. What's your budget for getting a computer?
3D Animation Hub 450 dollars max. I was thinking that a touchscreen 2in1 laptop would be great so I can draw on it as well as use it for schoolwork. I’m not sure what kind of animation I want to do yet, 3D or 2d but I’ll try our both with online courses :) I’m just not sure if drawing on 2in1 computers would be smooth. A lot of reviews say that a drawing pad is better but do you know any laptops that have the same touch sensitivity? Any specific laptop brands that are good for drawing? Thanks so much 😃😃😃
Hm.. Will this 2, Asus TUF & Acer Nitro 5, be "Ok" for 3d animation? Saw it on local store few days ago. Both are i5. That's is the only budget I have for now. 😁
If you mean 2D Animation, then it depends what software you'll be using. And most 2D softwares are less intensive than 3D. So some of the cheaper options I shared should be more than enough.
I am mostly 2d animator which uses adobe but one day I want to use blender for 3 d animation just for fun, will i still need a mac? And I’m willing to do big project on my own , and my computer need to have enough stockage and goo processor , then do i really need an IMac? I’m bothered because it’s costs kinda expensive, but hey no more viruses! And responsability demands sacrifice
I need a laptop for school (want to be able to do my projects from anywhere) and want one that can handle programming, animation, design, and some gaming. What might you recommend? I have had my eye on the razer blade 15 and I feel 6 cores is enough but I do see they have 10 gen 8 core processors now. I was also looking at the g14 but no TB3 and the 120hz screen has a doodoo response time. What do you think? I look forward to your advice. Thank you for the video!
Hey, I'd definitely suggest the g14 (amzn.to/2YEJ73s) over the Razer blade 15. you don't need the 144hz monitor (and you'd be paying for it). I feel the G14 with its 16gb ram and RTX 2060 is gonna be the better choice here for the price.
@@BrianKouhi do you think I'd be okay with out thunderbolt 3? I really want the blade but right now it's just not the smartest choice for me for that price.
Hello i know this is kind of late but do you have any reccomendation for laptop ? And do animator mostly need laptop anyway ? I was planning to go just for computer if it wasnt necessary for laptop I heard animator often work overseas
I need to buy a laptop for school, but I’m planning to use it for animating 2D and 3D characters, and edit some videos. But I cant decide on what to get, should I get a Mac book or should I get windows?my school recommends MacBooks but I also don’t know which MacBook I should even get..
If you're planning on doing 3d work at all, MacBook isn't going to cut it from what I understand. Might as well get a windows so it can do all 3 at a cheaper price too probably.
I was hoping you could give me some feedback. I read your story. I seem to be going through same thing with my daughters. They are both pretty good artist. They are interested in computer animation, but don't really know how to get into it. I was interested in buying them a laptop for Christmas. I want something they can draw,animate and do their school work. What do you think of the HP Spectre x360 15t. If you have another suggestion. I would greatly appreciate being put in the right direction. Thank you. Good luck. Subscribed for your back story alone. Wish you well.
Hey Mel, sorry about the delayed response. Are they planning on becoming 3D Animators using Maya/Blender/Max? Or 2D (drawing their animations), using toon boom, adobe products n such.
@@BrianKouhi Thank you for the response. Lol, brother you got me on that question. I'm not sure as I wanted this to be a Christmas present surprise. I'll try and pick their brains without giving myself away and respond asap. Thank you again for the quick response. Appreciate you. Keep up the good work.
@@anubhavdubey8473 same with VFX, don't get a Mac. Mac is going good for adobe products. Autodesk, Blender & Nuke (leading industry softwares) aren't adobe. So a Desktop or a windows laptop would be much better and cheaper
hello! im planning to get into 3D animation/modelling pretty soon, as well as gaming and streaming! would the recommendations here suffice for that? it's my first pc I'm building so I'm a little nervous about how it'll turn out 😭
The advice in this video should suffice. The biggest thing for animation (not rendering), is a good processor and 16-32gb of ram. Graphics card will help more with rendering and also games.
The issue is the ram is below 16gb... So you might run into some freezing problems, or slow performance. If your budget is under 1,000 definitely look into a PC instead of a laptop. Ideally you want more than 16gb ram and a good processor.
Realy helpful video but my question is i am using 3ds Max Corona Render its a CPU base render engine and it's take too long for rendering animation on corona But i don't think so Ryzen 7 3700x will be a good option ?? Please guide me?
I've heard really good things about Ryzen. Checked it out and it's definitely better than the processor I have. I'd say you'd have a good time getting one.
So this was true pre-Ryzen.. I've heard Ryzen is better with that stuff but I have no personal experience. I do have experience with Intel and Nvidia though.. it's up to you if you want to go the cheaper route or the more secure route
Thank you for the Nice video! I was thinking of getting MSI GL65 leopard laptop. It use i7-10750H ,8 GB RAM(upgradable), and RTX 2060 graphic card.but the battery life is kinda short( only 2 to 3 hours max) and some review said that color correction/ grading in this laptop is not that good. I'm afraid if i keep doing my 3d works while charging,, the laptop might get overheated.Do you think i should buy it? Or can you give me some suggestion about laptop with similar specs ,long lasting battery life and maybe sRGB monitor? I need the laptop for making 3d animation and modelling. My budget is around $1500 -$2000.
Hey, I found a Razer with 4.5 reviews, and better Ram than what you were thinking of getting (more ram the better). for $1600. amzn.to/31sxyhh /// and a cheaper option ($1020), with the same specs (16gb Ram), but the processor isn't as good, but it should do the job amzn.to/3jhQYLK
Some of the ones with the higher Ram and processor would be best. This one here would be ideal if you're not looking to buy a Desktop. amzn.to/3cYjzTu It has Higher ram, high end processor and graphics card. You could probably find a slightly cheaper one with lower Graphics card, but try not to go below 16gb Ram
No Macs would be good for adobe products such as Photoshop and Aftereffects, but for 3D work I suggest a PC. I have some laptop options in the description as well I believe
amzn.to/3cyeH8q this would be a good option for $1,000. I'd daintily recommend buying a pc or building one, but if you're set on Laptop, this would get the job done.
Can please tell me!! CAN I RUN MAYA 3D AND HEAVY VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARE smoothly on RYZEN 5 (6gb graphic card and 16 gb ram variant)? Your suggestions helps me lot )
@@BrianKouhi Thanks man! Also, do you think we need a laptop in animation school? Or can I just use my pc at home, they prob have a pc at school right? I'm still in 10th grade.
@@orpheus6398 if you're going to a college/university for Animation, they should have computers at the school for you to use, so you should be good with a home Computer. It's good know you want to get into animation at such a young age!
@@BrianKouhi could you please recommend me some pc/laptop, i have just entered college and i am really confused about mac or windows i am also interested in app dev
I'd say for VFX work you want a high end processor & GPU, and at minimum 32GB of RAM. VFX is a lot more intensive on your computer than animation. The graphics card I suggested in the description should be fine, if you have the budget for it, maybe go for a 2080.
For 3d ... do not use Apple. They just announced no more support for opengl . Even with opengl Apple is worse at running 3d than PC with windows or linux .
@@joemeal3332 Yes I do. But first let me just say that the best thing you could do is buy a desktop and build it yourself. You will get the most performance for your $ this way and learn some important skills along the way. But if you absolutely have to have a laptop then the answer to your question becomes a bit more complex. Where do you live? What is your budget? I advise you to get the best Graphics card you can (8gb GPU memory) as the CPU is less important for GPU eevee driven 2d animation and rendering. Any CPU of 3GHTZ - 4GHZ will be fine. Get 16GB of ram of ram if you can as that will be more than enough for your 2d animation. Even 8GB of ram would get you very far with a few other heavy apps running next to Blender. You can animate in Blender on a $300 laptop. But you will regret it and it's going to get real hot real quick on most laptops. So if you can then wait and save up your cash to get the best laptop you can. Although again I would say it's better to get a cheap crappy laptop and start building a PC. Look at Linus tech tips for some ideas ... you can build mini rtx PC for under $650 that will greatly outperform a lot of laptops for the same price. My top choice laptop would probably be the razer blade pro 17 inch 4k. Otherwise HP and MSI offer good quality solid gaming laptops that will work well with Blender. I suggest choosing Nvidia over AMD for graphics cards as AMD drivers have been buggy for decades when it comes to 3d software like Blender and Maya (gaming is all good sometimes better with AMD). Finally if you can then get the latest Nividia RTX cards. I saw my render speed double when I went over to RTX and Cycles and any big future improvements the Blender team or Nvidia do will almost certainly be for RTX or newer generations.
It doesn't matter too much how SMOL the videos are, you'd still need something that can run the programs and render without overheating & shutting down on ya 😅

Checking CG boost's video on that.
A PC which is good for animation should also be good for music production and recording right?
