I’ve just started using Zbrush with the aim of modelling some realistic organomechanic sculptures, a related 2D example:
I’m also getting a new computer and choosing between the i7 6700k and i5 6600k both which would be OCd to ~4.5 Ghz. For most tasks they’re the same speed, e.g. for Photoshop use. But for multithread optimized tasks such as rendering the i7 is about 40% faster, will this also be true with Zbrush rendering? And will the i7 allow me to work with higher polygon models or is this in practise a non issue (dividing up the model, using subdivisions etc intelligently)?
Let me know if I should just go for the $100 extra I7 or go for the I5 for now and upgrade later should I need to.
