Do I need a drawing tablet for 3D?

For sculpting in ZBrush or Blender, a pen tablet is nearly essential. For hard-surface modeling and animation, a mouse is often preferred.

How much VRAM do I need?

12GB handles most scenes. 16GB+ is recommended for production work with dense geometry, 4K textures, and complex shaders. Running out of VRAM crashes viewport rendering.
