What laptop would you recommend for IClone? Not the minimum, but something which will optimize the productivity. Thank you!

@Nancy Moon I checked out multiple reviews of processors and the difficulty was which Ryzen was comparable to the Intel Ultra 9 275HX offered by Sager in a 16” machine. Initially, it seems, the Ultra 9 was at the top and the Ryzen 9 9955HX CPU came out as its competitor and is just slightly better. One exception is the Intel can use more memory while the Ryzen is limited to 64gb. I believe this is the main reason Sager chose the Intel CPU, huge amounts of memory capability. I really don’t have a CPU preference for a Windows based OS systems other than I want a laptop that is very capable, both at home and on the move, the ability to render and edit complex graphics. At home I use an additional screen on top of the built in one, however even the low end machines are capable of that. In the end I’ve been using MacBook Pros and Final Cut Pro for so long I had forgotten about the whole hardware issues with Windows systems. Honestly the Apple M CPU series has been a game changer and it’s too bad the associated instruction set hasn’t entered the Windows OS market. Of course Apple has just recently entered in a semi-meaningful way the game world. And it’s no secret the gaming world has changed the whole hardware capabilities on the Windows side of the market. Even the bitcoin people found the GPU speeds of Nvidia made personal mining a real thing. Please note, I do not and have never been tempted to mine bitcoin. But I know people who have. Thank you all for the help.

@Timothy Masters Thank you. The graphics card is an Nvidia 5070 GPU series with 12gb of memory. The laptop arrives soon.
Animation for WEEK 2 of the new training → Done in 8 hrs
Full animated scene done in only 8 hours. From: - Coming up with a story idea - To Designing Characters - Writing a little Script - Planning the Shots - Creating each Panel - Producing Audio (Voice Acting, Music & SFX) - Animating each Panel - Putting it all together All characters are original, and you can see that the Detective is very handsome (looking like meeee haa!) All of this will be explained in Week 2 of the new training. Join AI Animation Masterclass Today. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT to those enrolled in AI Animation Masterclass: I am working on the lessons. Instead of posting all lessons, I decided to start from scratch and instead of just theory of how to animate, I decided to produce a high end animation in 1 day, and then explain step by step with this as example teaching you how you can do the same with your own stories. Lessons for Week 2 will be released tomorrow. Exciting new lessons coming!

Trying to open Week 2 in the Classroom, nothing there. Am I doing something wrong?

@Mark Diaz I just saw you posted this Monday. Thank you. Looking forward to it
Introducing AI Animation Masterclass, join today!
https://learn.2danimation101.com/ai-animation-masterclass Tired of the "Prompt Roulette of Hell"? Stop wasting hundreds of dollars on AI credits only for your characters to change in every single shot. In this video, I’m breaking down the exact pipeline you need to move from a "prompter" to a Great AI Director. 💡 What You’ll Learn: Most people fail at AI animation because they rely on the tools rather than the process. Whether you’re using free tools or paid ones, the secret to studio-quality animation isn’t a "magic prompt" it’s a repeatable pipeline. The course covers "The Consistency Secret": How to lock your character’s look before you hit generate. Credit Efficiency: Stop burning money on retries that the AI doesn't understand. The AI Director Mindset: Why the artist matters more than the tool. Workflow Mastery: How to build sequences in a controlled, logical order. 📉 The Problem with "Prompt Roulette" We’ve all been there: you get one amazing shot, but when you try to make the next one, the character looks like a different person. This script shows you how to stop guessing and start creating consistent, cinematic stories in any style, from 3D Pixar styles to live-action sequences.

@Mark Diaz You are a great salesman! I purchased the course, hopefully it will add onto what I learned from Gary's hour of instruction.

Mark, are the weeks unlocked only after completing the prior week? I finished week 1 and was curious about the lesson in week 2. When will they be unlocked?
We Won't Have Live Calls for the Next Weeks
Hi there! 🙌 Normally, the calendar, holidays or special events don't dictate my schedule. I enjoy spending time with this community and being around people who are actively working to tell stories through animation. In fact, I have a long history of sneaking away to my studio for live calls on December 25th or January 1st, even with a house full of family, just to put in that 1 hour of work before heading back. However, the next couple of weeks are a bit different. My dad is currently in the hospital due to fluid in his lungs. They detected a small tumor, but with surgery, he was able to get much better, and he still will have more years with us - he is 80 years old. While he is stable and doing well, he needs to remain under observation for a few more days. I am spending every night at the hospital to assist him with whatever he needs, which means my "play time" has shifted. I’m currently not getting to bed until around 7:00 or 9:00 AM. Because my daily rhythm has been completely altered, I won’t be able to attend any live calls for the next few days. I’m viewing this as a literal Boss Fight of life. Right now, I’m stepping into the Role of a Guardian (I like to think of it as a Dark Knight quest line 😉). My priority is to serve and assist him, while managing my own tasks (like writing and planning content) straight from my phone or laptop sitting at the hospital. Thank you all for your understanding and support. I'll be back in the game fully as soon as he’s cleared to head home. In the meantime, no matter what happens, keep leveling up!

Strange how the head turned one way and the body the opposite. I too have seen these strange AI builds.
