\u201cI can bust out so much more whenever I\u2019m either working personal or professional projects, so that\u2019s great,\u201d Oostenbroek says. \u201cThe last Windows I used was Windows XP, so that\u2019s how long ago I had used Windows. But it was easy to switch. All the software I use works the same on Windows 10. It\u2019s older software, but it works so much faster thanks to the Z4\u2019s capabilities. My workflow is so much faster now. And that\u2019s the best thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

HP gives the option to remap the keyboard, so he can continue to use the shortcuts that are most familiar to him.<\/p>\n

His Mac could not give him the RAM he needed to open \u201ccrazy resolution\u201d files (20,000 x 20,000 pixels). He used to go to a friend\u2019s to open those files but now he can handle everything himself. He also now has the capability to render on a graphics card, which is something he says he\u2019s wanted \u201cfor ages.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHP brought me to that moment,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m super happy with that.\u201d<\/p>\n

He had also stopped doing animation for personal projects because it used to take so much of his free time to render it. But now he\u2019s taking on personal animations thanks to the quick feedback he gets from the Z4, which saves him a lot of time, as he\u2019s able to make corrections more quickly.<\/p>\n

A self-taught artist who didn\u2019t discover Photoshop until he was in high school, he avoids online tutorials, preferring to follow his own path. Constant change not only applies to his workstyle, but also his philosophy about learning.<\/p>\n

\u201cImprovement is key for my own work. I always want to learn something from every project I take,\u201d he says. \u201cImproving and learning throughout the creative process can be really rewarding because you can pay the bills, but you\u2019ve learned a lot too. So that\u2019s like a total win-win situation. The learning curve is super important for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
