All of that looks fine, but I would suggest going for the 6gb GTX 1060 instead of the 3gb. You will be thankful for the extra VRAM when using programs like Substance painter, 3gb is just too little these days.

>>563324
i7 950
gtx 670
8gb ram

I have:

i6500
GTX 960 4GB
16GB RAM

It's fine for me for now (beginner).

Thing I forgot to add: In a lot of models I've seen where a character is wearing high heels, I notice a lot of the time it seems like the ankle/heel/lower leg looks bent at an unnatural angle (pic related). Is this a software limitation, or some kind of difficulty with the technique used to sculpt these models?

I don't really know shit about 3D modeling, I'm just curious as to why these trends seem so common with this specific thing.

>>563192
>Why is it that high heels seem to be so difficult to model accurately in games compared to other "everyday" clothing items?

because the foot, not the heel itself.
the leg needs to be in a certain angel to fit the heel which also makes the character taller when switching clothes
some games do succeed in bypassing this like the sims, but others just have fixed legs for these heels i suppose

>>563194
>I notice a lot of the time it seems like the ankle/heel/lower leg looks bent at an unnatural angle
heels are about as unnatural as it gets. never understood why anyone finds them appealing, they look any woman wearing them look like a skank

Push modifier.

>>563731
Not OP but I have been needing this modifier for so fucking long, lots of thanks

>>563736
And you never thought to look through the modifier list and wonder "what could push do?"

I hope you have innovative new ideas to revitalize the scrolling shoot em' up genre, because it's been a dead horse for nearly two decades.

People only like Touhou shoot em ups because of the cute girls.

depends on what you were doing

you could edit videos and make animations for a year. but if you focused on modeling for a year you would be much better

you might want to get into programming

>>562440
This.

I've pretty much focused on animation, and composing scenes and shit.
I've been doing it for a few years, but my modelling skills are complete shit if I try to make anything complex.
I definitely need to improve on that more.

get a damn job kid

>>561571
Yeah... that's what the modeling lessons are for

if you need holes on a flat surface like that, place 8 sided cylinders in the places you want. then connect then with topology tools. i use quad draw in maya

please dont try to tell people to use n-gons. you will never be taken seriously with n-gons

Why do shit artists always use the 'made this quick' excuse? I see so many people do this; it's like you don't want to have to put in any effort to improve, so you give yourself some arbitrary time constraint.
Why did you want to get it done in one evening? Why didn't you spend time making something finished and polished? What good is a dummy head with some putty molded around it? You get out what you put in. You put in shit, you get out shit.

This, i blame the no child left behind act. In the real world if you want to get better you have to try harder.

>>563461
>Why do shit artists always use the 'made this quick' excuse?
because they want to feel good about their work without having to actually put in the effort required to feel good about their work.
so if someone calls them out on it they can just backtrack and say "well i just made it really quick xd!!! i'm actually better than this desu lmao :^):^)^:)^"

being an artist is going to become obsolete. however, doing the technical shit involved in art (building plugins, software, pipelines, AI, etc) will never become obsolete.

it's compounded by the fact that everybody in this field believes they will get a job, even if they are good.

your concern is negligible.

there will always be demand for 3D artists, if realistic style don't work for you move to hand painted textures.
and you simply can't replace the convenience of having a high poly model optimized in various degrees of topology. the new mass effect had photogrammy models for faces and they are missing proper ambient occlusion and hair.

what really kills freelancers and other artists are major outsource studious. not that i have anything against them but they have full production pipelines in their companies and that's something a single artist couldn't achieve

you can also texture your models in zbrush. but if im not mistaken you can only use polypaint and then export the polypaint map after you are done unwrapping.

you don't want to unwrap and paint anything in zbrush anyway. so i do recommend the zbrush/3dcoat combo.

>>563173

I meant painting as in digital painting not painting textures. I.e. that 3dcoat is easier for digital painters to learn sculpting with than zbrush. Sorry for the confusion.

>>563167

3d coat has better painting tools. Based on texture resolution not polygon count. You can customize the zbrush ui however you want but people dont do it because they are lazy. Like the other anon said I would learn both. I use different features of both of them.

This is the map that I'm using.

>>563434
The edge pixels of that image aren't black. This is behaving exactly as it should. Did you really not even bother to zoom in on that height map?
Also why not just manually flatten the edge verts?
Also You need to clamp the levels of this image or it's going to look like shit.

aussies should just kys, fuckin kangaroos

are you an idiot or do you just have a learning disability that prevents you from learning more than one thing?

>>562798
usually artists are not good programmers
call it science or magic or whatever

>>562798
Can you do both?
