Nightfall Veilwing

I only owned 1 Apple product in my life, and it was the 1st generation iPod Shuffle, and it was pre-owned. I thought about getting one of those iMacs that came out last year, the one that came in multiple colors. These: If I were get one, it would be the purple one.

For the computers I want to get, I don't want anything to lag on me, and I want the computers to last for as long as possible and still run/function like they're new. Does degramenting affect your files? Since I keep my files on flash drives, I don't think I'd have to worry about my files being affected.

Could you please explain what you mean by that? —————————————————————————————————————————————————— IDK what "defragment" means, either. Explain, plz?

What are Macs like? I've always been a Windows user, so IDK. And do you know the answer to my question about wheather Macs are ideal for creative works or if it comes down to personal preference if you use Mac or Windows for it?

Out of curiosity, what kind of computer do you use? You a PC user or a Mac user? I'm a PC user, and my computer uses Windows 10. Also, is it true that Macs are ideal for creative works, or does it actually come down to personal prefrence on wether you use a Mac or a PC for creative works?

I do like the sound of the harpsichord myself.

I was gonna watch tutorials for all of the software I'm gonna use for my projects. I did hear somewhere that Maya was standard for 3D animation for movies, but IDK if this is true or not.

Thanks. I do have 2 simpler MLP projects in the works already. I need to buy a new computer with more RAM and a better/faster processor before I can even start working on the more complex step.

So, is there a difference between Maya and Blender when it comes to results? And is the "can do anything today" also apply to Windows when it comes to creative works? I hear that Macs are ideal for creative works, but I think Windows is at the point to where it ultimately comes down to personal preference on where you use a Mac or a PC for creative works, as well as whether you use Maya or Blender.

Oh, I was getting my idea out there.

What do you mean? Sorry.

No. I do wanna learn, but I need to buy a new computer with more RAM and processing power to fit my techonological needs for the software I'll be using. My current computer--a computer that I've had for at least 5 years, BTW--only has 4GB of RAM and a processor speed of 1.6GHz. Neither is enough for what I want to do. For the 3D animation, I was wanting to use Maya and/or Blender. For the 2D animation, I was wanting to use Toon Boom Harmony and Adobe Animate (the later if there's a scene(s) that would use FiM's animation style). I'll also need help with directing the VAs so they can act well and not be crap acting. Same deal with those who'll be singing in this movie. I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my work. I'm sure what I'm envisioning for this project is possible.

@Whirlwind @Courageous Thunder Dash I forgot to mention that, for the best results possible, everybody that'll be a part of this project (writers, musicians, animators, etc.), would have to be in a studio, in the same building. The quality of things from the visuals to audio would vary if the people involed in this were using different equipment and software I mean, I wouldn't want a character(s) voice to be potato-quality, you know? I want this movie to be as professionally done as possible, even if the budget is low, if not non-existant.

As a part of my dream career, which is things from 2D and 3D animations, making my own movies and series, and a few other things, I would like to make an MLP fan movie(s)! I'm wanting this to be a 2-hour or 3-hour movie staring brony OCs. I would like for it to be done in CG, the quality being simular to the G5 movie, if not better. I also want it to have a good story, good voice acting, good, original music, etc. And for what visuals, language, etc., will be in this, I'm not aiming for there to be swearing and SNFW visuals and whatnot left and right (this isn't an adult cartoon). No, I was thinking those things would be sprinkled here and and there. So, this would be either a PG or a PG-13 movie. And by "PG", I don't mean the modern version of PG, which basically means "Practically 'G'", I mean more like 80s PG. For the themes and vibesm I was thinking it would be more along the lines of a Don Bluth movie (e.g. The Secret of NIHM) with the vibe of a Pixar movie (e.g. Turning Red). Yeah, this'll take an entire team of creative bronies to pull this off. Also, there's nothing wrong with making high-quality stuff that looks like it came from a professional studio, despite there being a low budget, if there's even a budget, for that matter. So, what do you think of this ambicious fan project? I don't think the brony fandom has ever done something like this before, not that I'm aware of, anyway.

Have you tried Fruit Quake? It's not bad.

You referring to the Maruchan brand of ramen noodles (these)? I did like this flavor, and I miss it. I so want to try genuine Japanese ramen!

Ramen is definitely one of the best foods ever! I remember putting the noodles in the broth for a few seconds, long enough to get the flavor, and eating it lake that. I called it "hot raw". I do want to make some cheesy ramen. Here a recipe I found.
