Syrianrue I like your enthusiasm and ambition.
CGI will test your patients and determination.
Not every one makes it in CGI.
Sincerely hope you do.
For me CGI is the Greatest ,
Every thing I have I got with CGI but I had to fight tooth and nail for it.
When I start at times I wondered if I would ever make it.
Just never give up no matter what.


one use for zBrush are vector maps.
vector maps are killer morphs n textures.some of the best in the world.

zBrush does not have rigs.zBrush has transpose.
zBrush is not for animations.
C4D is for animations.

ya not going to rig a 4 million polycount M5.
M5 polycount is around 20,000 you could rig in C4D.
then send to zbrush with GoZ.
turn M5 in to a monster with a polycount of 4 million with Vector maps.
but rig is still 20,000.ya not going to rig a 4 million polycount M5.
for animations.

Poser & DAZ Studio supports zBrush displacement maps.
displacement maps where before vector maps
displacement maps & vector maps are prety much the same thing
vector maps are better then displacement maps


CGI Universe is massive and very complicated.
It's going to take some time to grasp it all.
Don't get stuck on any one software till you know what's what.
if ya view software's what movies and games list ,see what there part was
If you view software's stills & video's gallery's ya see what they can do.
if they don't have a video gallery then people don't use that software for animations.
there all at youtube also.

time & money are always factors with CGI.
A CGI factor.
how fast you want to go ? how much money do you have ?
