My 2 cents I like z brush but it is a strange creature. It does get better with each release. It is easy to use once you get in to it. If you want to morph it is great. If you want to create clothes and props you may want to look in to something else. A lot of work you see in z brush may look 3d but it may not be. An example would be if you painted a ball on a texture in zbrush lets say in the middle of a cube. It will look like there is now a 3d sphere intersected in a 3d cube But when you turn the cube it will still be a cube. The ball cube thing can be done in zbrush but the poly count would be high. Told you it was strange. If you want to do cloths or props or characters I am learning rhino. Cloths are easy props are not to bad ether but characters are tough. For me at least. I do use rhino a lot on my morphs also. I am starting to look in to Amapi Designer 7 it does splines like rhino and it also does box modeling along with the traditional line modeling. The free demo is great and no restrictions except you can not export. I dont think the demo will time out ether. I can morph better in amapi. I would show them but I can not export yet lol You should also check out Wings 3D it is free I have been working with it also. Its simpler than most. Check out the forum on here. Also read and try some of the tutorials. I have not tried to create cloths with it yet only props. Did I mention its free got to love that? Also easy to morph in.
