This is great! There are so many “gaming rig” tutorials online, but not nearly as much for art related stuff! I’m definitely going to send this to whoever asks me about computers for animation.
i think that's because really any computer can do it well enough. there are some important features though to talk about, and i'm surprised it doesn't happen very much. like monitor size, color, and resolution. getting a gpu with the right connection type at a low price, and one that can run the right amount of monitors. ssd's, m.2, and features like StoreMi can all be helpful to the experience, and knowing that you don't need a good gpu helps save so much money.
@@Rin-qj7zt you dont need a good gpu but atleast a decent one. Photoshop cant instantly rotate your canvas or the click and drag zoom in a shitty gpu. I'd say the low end gpu from 1000 series and 1600 series are great.
@@Rin-qj7zt I would say get at least 1600px900p to 1920x1080 for resolution, the color gamut about 72% NTSC or 98% SRGB and with IPS for great color production with best viewing angle than TN Panel
You guys have been the most helpful channel on RUclips for me. Not only theoretically, but you have also made me inspired and motivated to make art a key part of my future job. Thank you so much.
Couldn’t agree more, especially after dealing with a defeated mindset kind of boss, felt nearly impossible to touch back onto what hit me most as a kid, art. All bc he couldn’t see what I could see, or I just don’t think he wanted to.
"Wasn't %100 art related." You kidding me this is one of my main issues while trying get back into digital art. I never have anything that can handle what I do. This is all art related! Thank you for this video.
I think he means PRACTICING art. Not when making it for your job. As far as I'm concerned, completeness and correctness are most important. Then speed. Then some other things. But I'd hardly call my work "relaxing," nor expect it to be...
You guys dont even know how long I've been looking around on how to find a set up as an artist and being dirt poor looking at all the options I have with no clue what there could be until now!! all I have is a Compaq presario laptop? and an older version of a bamboo tablet my friend gave me- my only source of drawing atm and it's hard but I've been making do with it. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THIS
The amount of time between uploads just kinda shows you how much thought and effort goes into these videos, these are literally some of the most helpful videos you can on this site
Wow, I LOVED this video! My younger sister's looking to start getting into digital art but she's set on getting a laptop rather than a desktop, which I always prefer because of the exact points you made in this video. It was great that you got Taran in the video as well, because I watch LTT all the time and have done so for years so I know how reliable they are. I just started as an art student and the school of art here is *very* reliant on Apple products and basically no one wants to hear otherwise, so they don't realize just how much more they're paying for the logo rather than the hardware. Maybe I'll have to show this video to them and my sister as well to show them why going PC is better for all of this. Great video overall and this definitely deserves as many views as possible.
Get her an Ipad pro. It offers great control and experience being able to draw straight on screen. Also very portable. I get you though with pricing. Potentially check for prepared ones.
(I completely agree on use of desktop programs, that those wacom tablet pcs are really rough, and that price shouldnt be a barrier of entry for new folks. I just think clean line art is super great and achievable on iPad)
Actually I kind of disagree with them on the iPad bashing. For around $400 you can get an entry level iPad and pencil. And with Procreate, RoughAnimator you have all the tools to get you started. You can add Luma Fusion and Affinity designer for editing and vector assets. I don’t think they are “industry” equipment exactly, but we are talking broke artist here, and this is probably best digital art set up under $500 Adobe suite, Harmony subscriptions aren’t cheap, neither is TVpaint. So for a starving artist a $250 PC set up plus those software that is a constant bill every month. I think you show on your channel that pro work is totally possible on an iPad.
Hmm, 10 bucks once for Procreate, or 21 bucks every month for the rest of your life just for Photoshop. You're spending as much a year on your Adobe subscription as they did here on their budget PC, and the more apps you add the higher that goes. I think I know which one is better on the budget. I personally know professional concept artists working in Procreate for their work product, and they appreciate getting to do stuff on a device they can carry around as they meet with people requesting changes. They don't have to run back to their desk, they just adjust a layer on their iPad in about one second. And it exports .psd files just fine, a client would literally not know you didn't use Photoshop unless you told them, and it can seamlessly replace Photoshop in your workflow. I've done the Wacom Cintiq thing, and it's great. If that's what you want to do, good for you. When I tried out Procreate and the Apple Pencil, I just enjoyed it so much more and work much faster. It's actually noticeably more responsive. The screen is smaller, which is a shame, but very workable. It's funny, I've seen these guys say it's perfectly fine to use a small non-monitor tablet to make professional art, but they bash the iPad which is larger than those other products they say are fine, and much more effective and easy to work with than those tablets. I know tons of professional artists who use Procreate. Maybe they don't use it in Hollywood (I wouldn't know), but there's a big world outside of Hollywood.
Legos for Adults got me so bad! Fantastic video, I've built my own optiplex 3010 into a $200 beast with rx570, 16g ram, atx-mini amd MB, cheap power supply and SSD drive to run a 22inch cintiq. I've been considering going smaller because I have to move soon, but I made this computer the winter of 2019, and doubt I'll find similar performance to it for less than $600. I used to use a laptop with a pen tablet, but I think part of why I got out of art was how bad my wrist got from drawing on my lap. A pen display on an ergotron is everything I've been craving. Great video and really enjoyed it even if it's not new to me.
This was fucking awesome. I didnt even know I could upgrade the ram in my iMac so I guess its off to micro center for me today lol But really this shit came out great
BaM Animation you are doing the makers work my friend. I just got an acer nitro 5 “gaming” laptop for “cheap” at best buy and upgraded the ram myself and felt so good about it because I’ve always had my friend build my pc stuff. But it was exactly like you said - its like legos.
Hello, I'm a 2D animator and illustrator who's on a budget. And I just want to say that this is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen. Thank you so much for covering this topic it really saved some of my time. I think this is a rare channel for artists here on RUclips which actually provides useful and real content. So thank you so much for what your doing and stay awesome BaM ! 🙏
I grew up in the 80’s, learned about PCs during the monochrome era which was confusing at the time because PCs then were outrageously expensive and I never realized that I’d ever afford one. Fast forward to 2000, the WWW became a trend so I purchased my first PC after the Y2K awareness & ordered a dialup membership from my phone carrier. I had no idea what I was buying, other than I could afford $1200 new, which had both, a floppy disk and cd drives, featuring the newly cd-rw capabilities & included the heavy tube monitor! Since then I’ve been purchasing new after the older ones were either too slow or obsolete. I’ve learned more about PCs watching this video than I have ever, in my life. I’ve never knew about the internals & their functions until now. Now I feel confident enough to swap out the internals with just the right upgrades, instead of buying new & overly priced. This has definitely expanded my rustic old brain cells which has earned my subscription! Thank you!
It's before the premiere so I don't know what the video's gonna be about. But last year I bought a Cintiq from 2008 on eBay and got Clip Studio Paint on my old XP laptop, and it worked really smoothly!
Hi Brent and Max!. Just wanted to comment on this video for 2 things. 1. Great video 2. I just got today the Huion tablet yall suggested for christmas and i want to say its incredible!, when i was with the super small wacom tablet from 2015 i was desolate on finding the perfect size, now i can say im ready to step on this field. Thank you! ❤🔥
As both an art hobbyist and a computer software engineer, this video hits a wonderful sweet spot. One of these days I'm gonna try and create a build for art and programming so I can try and make video games.
I am literally in the process of getting a desktop computer to work from home and this video showed up right on time, this was a perfectly timed upload, thanks as always guys
Pro tip... A digital artist's best friends are good reliable hard-drives... You can cheap out on anything... Except the hard-drive. It's literally ur vault. Also make sure to have at least 2 hard-drives as backup...
Bruh, I took a semi-professional animation class in a CTE and I am a lifelong computer geek. I've never before seen someone explain computers so concisely without sacrificing important details. Details where if most people who don't know them, they will jump to bad conclusions about different parts. *WOW! WOWOWOWOWOW!!*
Omg this video was so informative and great! I suffered from Desktop failure and lost SO MUCH of my content...as crappy as it was, it is like a breath of fresh air because now I can legit, start over with a clean slate. And with that, improve my hardware. I am constantly working on stuff for my art, Comics, illustrations and at some point id like to get into small time animation. But my budget is not so friendly considering we are still in a pandemic. This really helped break down what I would need, can get away with in a desktop and see how customizable it is so later down the line I can upgrade the sides with ease! So seriously, thank you so much for this video!
Finally you guys are uploading videos I am so so so happy that I just can't explain with words I think it is the best animation channel on RUclips 😌😌😌😌
People just starting in Animation today have the BEST tools! I had a PC, Photoshop, and a Wacom tablet in the early 2000's, and considered it a privilege. But all that was kinda expensive.
When i searched up the ipad with the pen bc I was a bit jelly of the procreate users, I saw that price and just decided that saving for a computer and huion for animation/art is much better
I took a course on the basics of computer science three times in college (failed the first two times) and ya'll did a better job explaining things in first three minutes and I'm angry.
This video might be the best intro to PCs in general, not only for artists and deserves to have millions of veiws! I'm a game programmer learning how to draw and I actually have an overkill PC, but I was curious about your advice and the quality of this video surprised me, I'm sharing this with everyone who needs it. Thank you!
I can see that the time it took really improved the quality of the videos, thank you for all the effort you put in the knowledge is invaluable to learning artists
This whole channel is not supposed to be about computers: they successfully explained the lowdown on buying computers, simply, entertainingly, accurately, so well that I'm going to be sending this video to my computer science students. Great stuff.
Isn't it weird when you find a great video and there's dislikes.... why!? What's there to hate? Stop it, BAM is amazing! I recently started a new career cause of them!
i love this channel so much. two very talented passionate dudes giving great and helpful advice with top notch production value. really appreciate you guys. keep up the great work. learned so much through the years.
Dude the funny thing is that I was watching this as I was doing school and I think i learned more from a video then hours of someone talking about really nothing. Also thx for making these videos I’ve been trying to make a cartoon but you know everyone has a budget so thanks.
2:11 great beginner's intro to computer parts terms and functions. Still relevant. but warn: SSD drives, silicon macs vs intels, operating systems, hybrid environments using windows, linux, mac, Samsung plus competiing software for adobe
I made notes on this video and am so grateful you made it. It has been difficult to figure out how to set my son up with a budget but quality set up. Thank you! Thank you!
Wow, this video is amazing for beginners and users alike, I do believe I understand a fair bit about computers but the explanations made here are so compact and quick to grasp that even I feel like I learned something new. But thing is, and that's just my personal opinion and keep in mind I'm in no way a professional, so while having a full computer with a graphics tablet may be a better option on the long run and for professionals, I do feel that for beginners and hobbyists the iPad is still a better option, you get a more versatile and compact device that doesn't have all of the loops of a full computer, you won't have to worry about drivers and big bulky software and it's a lot less prone to becoming cluttered on the long run, it feels like a safer bet... but then again for someone who plans on going professional a computer is definitely the better option, in this case it's more versatile for professional and high end tasks instead of portability and other use scenarios. Another thing, I have a graphics tablet and started learning using it, and I gotta say, that with photoshop feels like such a daunting and scary task it felt to me like something a little too professional for my skill level, but that might just be me. Also guys you don't need an iPad Pro for art at all, the base iPad will do just fine with the 1st gen Apple Pencil, it costs like 430 bucks.
I know *many* professional artists working on Procreate, including concept artists. They may not use it for animated television shows in Hollywood (I wouldn't know, but that seems to be what they're claiming here), but it's a big world out there and companies need a lot of art.
I might have a decent setup for art in terms of specs but you made me far more aware about the desk! i really need an upgrade for the desk and chair i use, haha. no wonder my back hurts so much
@@fakecubed Not true, iPad is a great accessory for drawing, but there is totally no reason to invest in an ipad first then buy a standard setup (PC + Drawing tablet) if you are serious about this. Apps in ipad suck, except maybe procreate, that still does not match up with Photoshop. In Animation, the gap is even bigger with totally no apps to create animation on them. So if you wanna do stuff and you gotta choose, choose a PC. Ipad is a great secondary portable drawing tool, pretty sure BaM has one of them as well, but you just can't use them as your main tool, since it does not have the software for it. Plus there are no 3D software on ipad like Blender that so many creative professionals are using nowadays.
I wish I had seen this 4 years ago when I first wanted to build a computer for digital drawing--but I had no idea where to start! I had NO tech knowledge whatsoever, and eveything online was gaming/more programming related. Thanks for making this! I wound up getting the $$$ iMac--still works great!
This is a GEM of a video to send to some peeps that come asking the tech geek what computer to buy on their budget. It needs spanish subs, so if I can contribute to that please let me know. Explaining ALL this to the person that asked me what to buy was taking a really long time so I'm really grateful that you put this together. Thank you!
"Computers aren't mystery boxes, they are 'LEGO for Adults" Me: Huh? I never thought that I would use computer parts as lego to play with when im an adult.
As a new artist and lifelong PC building gamer this was a very informative video for beginners. I knew I personally wouldn't get anything out of it but I still wanted to see what you guys had to say and I'm glad I did. I wish I had this video 15 years ago when I was trying to build my first PC. 💜
This is exactly the computer I built for creating artworks, except I bought HP Small Form Factor (2nd gen i5, 8GB of RAM, 320GB HDD) and that's the only thing I found suiting my budget. After that, I upgraded almost everything and now the specs are like this (3rd gen i7, 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD+320GB HDD, Nvidia Geforce GT 710) And...yeah, It works perfectly fine and I don't have to rely on my laptop all the time.
@@BaMAnimation That's so cool! I guess I'll be dabbling in some computer parts from now on hahah I'm 17 and already have a laptop and tablet but wouldn't mind upgrading just for my back health alone,tho the speed and upgradeabitly is also a very big plus :)
Video: "its hard look down in a tiny screen covered with menus and zooming in to draw lines" Me drawing on my phone smaller than my hand: o b s e r v e
This is what I did exactly, except I got a Optiplex 3010, which has a micro ATX motherboard. At first I just bought a rx 580 graphics card, a better PSU, more ram, and a better i-5 processor, but then i swapped everything out and got a motherboard and the whole works. Along with a decent Huion pen tablet. Now that I've made more money I just bought a cintiq 22hd, 2nd $50 monitor, and some monitor arms for the tablet and 2 monitors, really enjoying it.
This is so great! I've been trying to figure out the best, reasonably economic setup and this is it! I didn't even know all this upgradability was possible because I've been brainwashed by Apple's planned obsolescence business model. Really appreciate this as a young animator/artist.
I just wanted to say-this video was INSANELY helpful. I learned so so so much in the duration of one video, and now I know so much more about PCs and digital art than I have ever known before. Thank you!
I would recommend people to get an SSD instead of an harddrive if possible. It is significantly faster and has a lower chance of breaking. Also Huion and XP-Pen can give you more bang for your buck if it comes to drawing tablets then expensive Wacoms. Edit:: turns out they mention this later in the video aswell 😅
Oh my god. I’ve been watching videos on this all day and I haven’t found a video that made sense for me. You guys explained it in such a simple way. Thank you I feel so encouraged now because of the clarity. The hope is building up now😂 before all this research I knew nothing about tech. Still don’t know much but this made it easier.
WoooOOOooowwWWww!! Such a great explanation! My gamer geek brothers did not manage to explain it as you did it so perfectly! Thnx! P.s. You guys have a great channel!
Tbh, I had a few of my friends explain to me computer parts and I've also done my own research but I never really understood what everything meant. This video illustrated everything perfectly, thank you!
You guys are AMAZING! I've been wondering how do i need my PC to be for painting, Photoshop etc. literally more than 10 years and now I know! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! This is eye opening omg
BaM's videos to me is like an useful art tv program I used to watch back in the days, and it makes me so nostalgic. Keep up the great work guys, I always love and appreciate all of your videos 👍 so thank you so much
This is really helpful and pretty great timing, this summer I’m going to Germany for a year and even though laptops aren’t the best for these things I’ve been meaning to get one. This video is really gonna help me choose which to get, thanks!
Dudes! This is an amazing channel. It's the most useful channel I've ever subscribed to, and thank you so much for doing this episode even if it was not art related. Thank you guys so much for your hard work of speaking and planning and drawing and editing and voicing and everything. Thank you very much!!
This was a really helpful video, thank you. For years i've gone into stores asking about the best computer for animation and art, and none of the sales people were really able to understand what was best, which made choosing difficult for me. P.S I first learned to draw digitally with MS paint and mouse before moving onto more serious equipment
True that you need to create an environment that allows you to enjoy making art, and so many other great advices! When I had to change my computer I had to go searching a lot for all what you guys just explained, the world is lucky to have you as content creators. PD I loved the plumbus popping in the desktops.
This channel is great! everything is so specific and useful that it never leaves doubts. Just make life easier for beginning artists and animators... thank you guys!

If they posted quicker they'd have to sacrifice quality. I'd rather be patient and get some great tips than get it faster and get only okay tips.
I agree with Benjamin. Plus, they mentioned before in one of their earlier videos that they have jobs outside of RUclips. But one can dream.

Bruh, I took a semi-professional animation class in a CTE and I am a lifelong computer geek. I've never before seen someone explain computers so concisely without sacrificing important details. Details where if most people who don't know them, they will jump to bad conclusions about different parts.
*WOW! WOWOWOWOWOW!!*
Omg this video was so informative and great! I suffered from Desktop failure and lost SO MUCH of my content...as crappy as it was, it is like a breath of fresh air because now I can legit, start over with a clean slate. And with that, improve my hardware. I am constantly working on stuff for my art, Comics, illustrations and at some point id like to get into small time animation. But my budget is not so friendly considering we are still in a pandemic. This really helped break down what I would need, can get away with in a desktop and see how customizable it is so later down the line I can upgrade the sides with ease! So seriously, thank you so much for this video!
*Throws ipad in paper pile trash
*My broke ass: Ouch
The money was wasted not when it was thrown away, but when it was bought in the first place.
Finally you guys are uploading videos
I am so so so happy that I just can't explain with words
I think it is the best animation channel on RUclips 😌😌😌😌
People just starting in Animation today have the BEST tools! I had a PC, Photoshop, and a Wacom tablet in the early 2000's, and considered it a privilege. But all that was kinda expensive.
12 dollars on a radeon hd 7570 at 2020
Hoo boy, I do miss the old prices
When i searched up the ipad with the pen bc I was a bit jelly of the procreate users, I saw that price and just decided that saving for a computer and huion for animation/art is much better
I took a course on the basics of computer science three times in college (failed the first two times) and ya'll did a better job explaining things in first three minutes and I'm angry.
Its good that you provided your location.
Now if anything happens to you guys again I can investigate.
What do you mean by 'again'

This video might be the best intro to PCs in general, not only for artists and deserves to have millions of veiws!
I'm a game programmer learning how to draw and I actually have an overkill PC, but I was curious about your advice and the quality of this video surprised me, I'm sharing this with everyone who needs it. Thank you!
I can see that the time it took really improved the quality of the videos, thank you for all the effort you put in the knowledge is invaluable to learning artists
well we did get a new camera, and we are getting more into after effects. so thank you.
This whole channel is not supposed to be about computers: they successfully explained the lowdown on buying computers, simply, entertainingly, accurately, so well that I'm going to be sending this video to my computer science students. Great stuff.
Isn't it weird when you find a great video and there's dislikes.... why!? What's there to hate?
Stop it, BAM is amazing! I recently started a new career cause of them!
first video that give us a real affordable pc
i love this channel so much. two very talented passionate dudes giving great and helpful advice with top notch production value. really appreciate you guys. keep up the great work. learned so much through the years.
As a tech enthusiast, I greatly appreciated Taran’s (The Macro King!) surprise appearance.
Dude the funny thing is that I was watching this as I was doing school and I think i learned more from a video then hours of someone talking about really nothing. Also thx for making these videos I’ve been trying to make a cartoon but you know everyone has a budget so thanks.
Why is this *_more_* informative and well done than the video I saw when I *ACTUALLY* looked up how to go about 'building a computer'...!
This definitely gave me more confidence about upgrading to a desktop computer!!! Thank you!! ☺️
2:11 great beginner's intro to computer parts terms and functions. Still relevant. but warn: SSD drives, silicon macs vs intels, operating systems, hybrid environments using windows, linux, mac, Samsung plus competiing software for adobe
Great idea for an episode. I really like the breakdown you gave on how computers work as well. Very informative and clear cut!
thank you!
I made notes on this video and am so grateful you made it. It has been difficult to figure out how to set my son up with a budget but quality set up. Thank you! Thank you!
Wow, this video is amazing for beginners and users alike, I do believe I understand a fair bit about computers but the explanations made here are so compact and quick to grasp that even I feel like I learned something new.
But thing is, and that's just my personal opinion and keep in mind I'm in no way a professional, so while having a full computer with a graphics tablet may be a better option on the long run and for professionals, I do feel that for beginners and hobbyists the iPad is still a better option, you get a more versatile and compact device that doesn't have all of the loops of a full computer, you won't have to worry about drivers and big bulky software and it's a lot less prone to becoming cluttered on the long run, it feels like a safer bet... but then again for someone who plans on going professional a computer is definitely the better option, in this case it's more versatile for professional and high end tasks instead of portability and other use scenarios. Another thing, I have a graphics tablet and started learning using it, and I gotta say, that with photoshop feels like such a daunting and scary task it felt to me like something a little too professional for my skill level, but that might just be me.
Also guys you don't need an iPad Pro for art at all, the base iPad will do just fine with the 1st gen Apple Pencil, it costs like 430 bucks.
I know *many* professional artists working on Procreate, including concept artists. They may not use it for animated television shows in Hollywood (I wouldn't know, but that seems to be what they're claiming here), but it's a big world out there and companies need a lot of art.
I might have a decent setup for art in terms of specs but you made me far more aware about the desk! i really need an upgrade for the desk and chair i use, haha. no wonder my back hurts so much
You guys need to make more videos they are so good
“I cant see myself working professionally on a tablet or iPad”
**looks down eerily on my procreate app and apple pen**
Haha this sucks
Ignore them. I know more professional artists working with Procreate for at least some if not all of their work than I know using Adobe exclusively.
@@fakecubed Not true, iPad is a great accessory for drawing, but there is totally no reason to invest in an ipad first then buy a standard setup (PC + Drawing tablet) if you are serious about this. Apps in ipad suck, except maybe procreate, that still does not match up with Photoshop. In Animation, the gap is even bigger with totally no apps to create animation on them.
So if you wanna do stuff and you gotta choose, choose a PC. Ipad is a great secondary portable drawing tool, pretty sure BaM has one of them as well, but you just can't use them as your main tool, since it does not have the software for it. Plus there are no 3D software on ipad like Blender that so many creative professionals are using nowadays.

I wish I had seen this 4 years ago when I first wanted to build a computer for digital drawing--but I had no idea where to start! I had NO tech knowledge whatsoever, and eveything online was gaming/more programming related. Thanks for making this! I wound up getting the $$$ iMac--still works great!
This is a GEM of a video to send to some peeps that come asking the tech geek what computer to buy on their budget. It needs spanish subs, so if I can contribute to that please let me know. Explaining ALL this to the person that asked me what to buy was taking a really long time so I'm really grateful that you put this together. Thank you!
you guys are way underated you need muuuuuuuch more subscribers
btw sorry for my bad english ):
_This is the crossover I never thought I needed in my life._
"Computers aren't mystery boxes, they are 'LEGO for Adults"
Me: Huh? I never thought that I would use computer parts as lego to play with when im an adult.
As a new artist and lifelong PC building gamer this was a very informative video for beginners. I knew I personally wouldn't get anything out of it but I still wanted to see what you guys had to say and I'm glad I did. I wish I had this video 15 years ago when I was trying to build my first PC. 💜
YOU GUYS ARE GODS!!!!!!!!!!
I wish this video was around 2 years ago before I bought my current laptop...
Staying on the topic on a budget/for starters, can you do a video about best free/cheap beginner-friendly drawing software? That'd help a lot.
This episode was the most amazing and helpful video so far, you guys rule!!!!
This is exactly the computer I built for creating artworks, except I bought HP Small Form Factor (2nd gen i5, 8GB of RAM, 320GB HDD) and that's the only thing I found suiting my budget.
After that, I upgraded almost everything and now the specs are like this (3rd gen i7, 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD+320GB HDD, Nvidia Geforce GT 710)
And...yeah, It works perfectly fine and I don't have to rely on my laptop all the time.
very resourceful! i love this
I'm ashamed to say I had no clue about computers before this but this really helped me out and made building my own gear less scary
youtube will tell you everything you need to know. i built my first computer at 16 with no prior instruction -brent
@@BaMAnimation That's so cool! I guess I'll be dabbling in some computer parts from now on hahah
I'm 17 and already have a laptop and tablet but wouldn't mind upgrading just for my back health alone,tho the speed and upgradeabitly is also a very big plus :)

you guys are so awesome
Keep em coming boysssss
i needed this . my pc is struggling, but i have room to upgrade my hardware. my issue was "what to i buy to make it better?" so this helped
This is what I did exactly, except I got a Optiplex 3010, which has a micro ATX motherboard. At first I just bought a rx 580 graphics card, a better PSU, more ram, and a better i-5 processor, but then i swapped everything out and got a motherboard and the whole works. Along with a decent Huion pen tablet. Now that I've made more money I just bought a cintiq 22hd, 2nd $50 monitor, and some monitor arms for the tablet and 2 monitors, really enjoying it.
Running Sidecar function is awesome for drawing, so you use your Mac for the software (animate, harmony, etc).
This is so great! I've been trying to figure out the best, reasonably economic setup and this is it! I didn't even know all this upgradability was possible because I've been brainwashed by Apple's planned obsolescence business model. Really appreciate this as a young animator/artist.
I just wanted to say-this video was INSANELY helpful. I learned so so so much in the duration of one video, and now I know so much more about PCs and digital art than I have ever known before. Thank you!
I don't know anything about computers or art, but this video was very easy to understand, thank you!
Oh my god, I love BaM animation, and I love Taran Van Hemert, to see him in a BaM animation video just BLEW MY MIND THANK YOU I LOVE YOU
I would recommend people to get an SSD instead of an harddrive if possible.
It is significantly faster and has a lower chance of breaking.
Also Huion and XP-Pen can give you more bang for your buck if it comes to drawing tablets then expensive Wacoms.
Edit:: turns out they mention this later in the video aswell 😅
This was a stellar video - great explanations and breakdowns. Thanks fellas.
Oh my god. I’ve been watching videos on this all day and I haven’t found a video that made sense for me. You guys explained it in such a simple way. Thank you I feel so encouraged now because of the clarity. The hope is building up now😂 before all this research I knew nothing about tech. Still don’t know much but this made it easier.
WoooOOOooowwWWww!! Such a great explanation! My gamer geek brothers did not manage to explain it as you did it so perfectly! Thnx! P.s. You guys have a great channel!
Tbh, I had a few of my friends explain to me computer parts and I've also done my own research but I never really understood what everything meant. This video illustrated everything perfectly, thank you!
This video fell from the sky! It was just what I needed. Thank you so much, I'm in love with this channel!
This is the first video i Watch that explains things from basics. Thanks
Honestly I'm watching this just because I love your videos
Dude...you guys are my favorite RUclips Channel, handdsss dowwwwnn!
I couldn't keep watching past 2:05-2:09 without replaying it 50 times first
Good to see you back, boys. Keep up the great work!
"and number 0..." lol. You guys are the best!!!
You guys are AMAZING! I've been wondering how do i need my PC to be for painting, Photoshop etc. literally more than 10 years and now I know!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! This is eye opening omg
Why are you so underrated it is actually unfair.
damn max's beard looking sharper than my future
He looks like a concept art of a cool warrior… and he may savage me at any time 🔪 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
BaM's videos to me is like an useful art tv program I used to watch back in the days, and it makes me so nostalgic. Keep up the great work guys, I always love and appreciate all of your videos 👍 so thank you so much
This is really helpful and pretty great timing, this summer I’m going to Germany for a year and even though laptops aren’t the best for these things I’ve been meaning to get one. This video is really gonna help me choose which to get, thanks!
Came here for tips.
Didn’t expect for more. Like, you explained computer stuff really well!
it´s great to see you again guys
*talks where it’s understandable to anyone*
My 2 brain cells: H u H
If this wasn’t the most broken down helpful info on upgrading, I don’t know what is thank you guys 😭✨
Dudes! This is an amazing channel.
It's the most useful channel I've ever subscribed to, and thank you so much for doing this episode even if it was not art related.
Thank you guys so much for your hard work of speaking and planning and drawing and editing and voicing and everything.
Thank you very much!!
Can't wait to see what they have in store!
I love how you guys translated these computer vocabulary into art language! xD
This was a really helpful video, thank you. For years i've gone into stores asking about the best computer for animation and art, and none of the sales people were really able to understand what was best, which made choosing difficult for me.
P.S I first learned to draw digitally with MS paint and mouse before moving onto more serious equipment
Only if I had an option to hit a thousand like . this was much needed ..one stop for every thing. Thankyou !
True that you need to create an environment that allows you to enjoy making art, and so many other great advices!
When I had to change my computer I had to go searching a lot for all what you guys just explained, the world is lucky to have you as content creators.
PD I loved the plumbus popping in the desktops.
This channel is great!
everything is so specific and useful that it never leaves doubts.
Just make life easier for beginning artists and animators... thank you guys!
6:21 oh gawd! What's Max drawing this time. I'm getting zoo flash backs!
now that you said it, I remember it too
