You can’t be a 3D artist without a Silicon Graphics workstation

It is if you want to sculpt.
If you don't know which one to get, the /ic/ thread might be your best bet.
>I've absolutely no idea where to start
1. Download Zbrush and/or Blender
2. Learn the software's basics
3. Watch streamers you look up to
4. ?
5. Profit

normalfag tourists, OP. Inquiry is a virtue and using SEO neutered search engines will become more frustrating an experience than some forum goy or mod asking for a dxdiag file.
In terms of hardware that will depend on the software you will use in your workflow. What you use in your workflow and to what extent will depend on what you want to do as a 3d artist. Is it 3D printable anime figurines like pic related and/or characters destined for animation? Zbrush is what you will need for sculpting these and its zmodeler will allow to do things like armor and swords. Note that Zbrush is a CPU-dependant software and the better viewport performance you want, the better single threaded cpu with higher frequency and such you desire. There's a trade off between more of that and more cores so mind the sweet spot (there are some graphs that show it I'll have to find again). Though there will be tools like zremesher that make use of multithreaded processes like zremesh. Can learn more here:

If you want to better specialize in hard surface objects, environments, hoisehold items, guns, cars etc.. then 3DS Max or Blender will be part of your workflow with the latter you download add ons box cutter, hard ops, and play around with mesh machine as well. Best 3ds Max education source snapped and took down all his old videos (warning: he is not selling them on udemy those are just downgrade lazy junk videos he whipped up for to sucker redditors). Though there seems to be someone posting torrent link here right now to Arrimus's old videos.
I started with Blender but I hear it still has slow viewport performance, but you don't have to use Windows with it like Zbrush and what not. You don't want to be married to software that will require a digital passport to use your maxxed out spyware and bloatware OS in the near future.
Here follow these instructions for free everything cont...

Follow anons's instructions after downloading all that you want, and will want in the future, (so everything to be safe) from the mega link. Now you have the means to practice with. Also topogun for retopology and substance painter for textures. You will be free of DRM installed on your comp from Adobe as well as its creative cloud cancer.

There's more to say but you'll probably have questions now. Feel free to ask. Will get back to you the following day or so.
