New Goal... (Patreon)

Howdy all, so I just got a message back from another well known creator (who because they may wish to retain their privacy I shall not give their name) that uses the same software as me, I'm humble enough to ask for help when I need it. In this case how he/she makes such smooth beautiful movies with it and the specs they have.

Spec-wise they have a laptop better than mine but still at the lower end in terms of the processor and graphics card in comparison to some of the computers today, so with that helpful info I realised the benchmark. I'm humble enough to approach and ask for help and I'm also dedicated enough to continue to want to improve. I'm also confident and quite cheeky but not arrogant enough that I close my ears...case in point a comment was left on Lana: Episode 2, in which there was some feedback mixed with abuse. The abuse rolls of my back, whatever. Where is their work?

But the feedback was valuable:

* Keep politics and philosophy out of the videos (The Lana series is mainly guilty for that because of the deceitful and ambitious nature of the character)
* Sort out the boob jiggle at the beginning of every cut change. (I deliberately chose to keep jiggle bones active here as without them the boobs move in a very robotic and 'stiff' motion. Still it can be done)

The strength of a man is measured by the quality and quantity of his detractors...Still even then you have to be willing to listen, internalise the feedback and learn from it.

So for the past 3-4 months I've been buying Computer Active magazine, Computer Shopper Magazine & Webuser Magazine at my own expense and learning about computer and graphics specs... Here is my computer specs:

But what I have learned is:

* Desktops (as opposed to laptops) have far more computing power...for less $$$.

So I have been looking in terms of my budget and I've found:

MINIMUM: https://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing/desktop-pcs/desktop-pcs/pc-specialist-esl-certified-intel-core-i7-gtx-1070-gaming-pc-2-tb-hdd-256-gb-ssd-10184911-pdt.html

MAXIMUM: https://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing/desktop-pcs/desktop-pcs/msi-trident-x-intel-core-i7-rtx-2080-gaming-pc-2-tb-hdd-512-gb-ssd-10187630-pdt.html

From what I have found for intense gaming or video editing/recording the minimum you need is a GTX 1070 and at least a hexa core CPU.

So now I have a new goal: Get one of these. WHY? Well I'm not satisfied with putting out what I am right now, I want to improve. To bring to life my ideas in so high detail and resolution you think it was virtual reality. It's why I learn 2D Sketching/Drawing & why I learn Blender. So I can develop more to help even more people. Nobody was ever successful without someone wanting their stuff, wanting their creation. If I just wanted some cash every now and then I would keep doing what I am now and not improving. But you've seen my Blender and Sketch posts right?
