Today he’s working from Belgium as a freelance ZBrush artist, contributing his talents worldwide to various companies, publications and projects. A Zbrush freelancer is often a traditionally trained artist with expertise with the Zbrush system who can sculpt a model featuring detailed color, texture, and. Having background in art, he handles different aspects of production, from original conceptsculpts, high res assets, engineering and 3D prints. A timelapse of the sculpting process coming soon.Maarten Verhoeven is a freelance digital sculptor with a love for the dark and weird, He specializes in work for 3D sculptures for Concept, Fine Art, films, commercials, prototypes, designer toys and collectibles. It includes a quick torso study for context and posture, as well as what I imagine to be a mass of matted, dirty hair. What Does a ZBrush Artist Do ZBrush Artists are professionals who work with digital clay to create perfect sculptures as per the requirement. The second, and my preferred version (above), leans toward a more human interpretation of facial characteristics. The first, below, pushes the facial characteristics more towards primate, but with the spark of intelligence one would expect of the genus Homo. Taking these few data points and a handful of images of the incomplete skulls of homo Naledi, I put together a couple versions. Digital sculpting with ZBrush blends the best features of 2D illustration software with a 3D modeling and rendering engine. We know they were short of stature, possibly standing barely five feet tall, and had small skulls exhibiting primitive features including reduced cranial capacity (half of a modern human), robust orbital tori, reduced/absent chin, but with small teeth and gentle canines.
The species appears to be a interesting mix of human and primate characteristics – hands and feet very near our own but with shoulders and pelvises closer to our primate ancestors. 250,000 year ago) – discovered in 2013, to great acclaim, by a pair of cavers fumbling around in a South African cave system.
I happened to have a relatively free day and was excited to do some digital sculpting so I said I would give it a try.įirst, who or what were Homo naledi? It turn out they are fairly recent relatives of modern humans (ca. It’s a powerful program that goes beyond typical 2D concept art to help you learn about form, animation, texturing, and modeling. The request was for a concept of what the extinct homonid species Homo naledi would have looked like in life. World renowned game studios rely on ZBrush every day for rendering and modeling.
A producer friend recently asked if I had time to put together a quick sculpt for a pitch he was giving to a potential client.
