Imagine learning wrong from the get go and sinking hundreds of hours into doing it wrong and inefficiently. What a nightmare.

Post your work. If you have nothing to post, it trivially demonstrates they're doing it better and more efficiently than you.

There's a reason professionals don't do that.

??? you're going to do that work anyway. I guess there's nothing to bake down from but what are you gonna bake down anyway.

ENOUGH OK?
Its because i cant do it. Poly modelling doesnt make sense to me. Its not fair the poly modellers can poly model AND sculpt while i can only sculpt. Even then the moment i need to use a tool or option i just get lost and give up.
All i can do is play digital play-doh and im so sick of seeing you poly modellers outclass me in every instance.
I only.made this thread to sooth my ego and now thats ruined. Im more miserable than ever.

You get normal maps, a checkpoint that your can fall back on, and it is easier to get good topology when your don't have to worry about the shape at the same time. People who practice the poly style are doing things the hard way for a worse end result.

Polymodeling is a thing from the 2000s. None of the professional industry artists from that time use polymodeling now. I know one who now works a decade at Valve.
Load the base human mesh in zbrush and you're already set to sculpt with half the work done. Do you need your 1998 characters? You can retopology them that way and bake normal maps to help with painting textures then turn them off.

If its a human characters you use DAZ if your poor, or character creator if your white.
E33 used character creator > Zbrush (for small fix to make it look just right).

or manually retopo the entire mesh for good deformation.
I don't really understand who is using sculpting for anything but maybe vfx

Haven't you been here asking if you should be poly-modelling characters and then turning around and telling others that you should never ever do it every time you get told to do it for more than a year at this point?
