At this point I've had so many people ask me about what PC parts or what laptop to buy for 3D animation and rendering that I had to make this post for everyone.

There are people that keep up a lot more with the updates and trends when it comes to building PC's for GPU rendering and video rendering work than I do. So instead of giving my 2 cents I've linked their video directly for you to watch. This video was created by Motion Designers Community and they helped me a lot when I was really into building the best PC I could and pouring money into it for 3D. So shoutout to them

These are my current specs for what I use on a day to day basis, these days I work 100% off my laptop but I used to link to my workstation and use it for a lot of the bulk rendering.

I've explained a lot of my workflows between the two how everything was setup in my free guide a lot of you have received through email.
