Re: Are 3D character artists less in demand than environment artists?
I think Tim nailed it. Just isn't time. It's not any individual persons fault. Not like I am saying recruiters are assholes. But it's a symptom that gets passed down from the highest levels.

Re: (Zbrush) Zremesher VS (3ds Max) Retopology modifier...
Retopology just works for me, with minimal intervention needed. It’s also nondestructive. On the other hand, zremesher allows you to use guide curves which is super helpful in some cases. Why don’t you try it out and see for yourself? Use the same mesh in both. They’re both pretty easy systems to learn. -
