Seven time academy award winner Rick Baker is going wild with DynaMesh and FiberMesh. His beast was made using the newest features of ZBrush 4R3 and even though he calls it a “work in progress,” it’s definitely worthy of a Top Row nod.

Veteran ZBrush artist Michael Defeo is getting close to releasing his anatomy app that is sure to help both digital and traditional sculptors. Due to be released at his booth at Spectrum Live in Kansas City, Missouri the weekend of May 18-20, “l’Ecorché: Classical Anatomy for Artists” will be available on iPad, iPhone, and Mac desktops with eventual development for Android and PC desktop platforms.
Michael thanks ZBrush and its community of artists for making this app possible.
“I am building what I feel is a groundbreaking anatomy study tool. It’s an app called l’Ecorché: Classical Anatomy for Artists, and without ZBrush this app would not be possible. Originally developed as a personal reference tool for my courses with anatomy expert Scott Eaton (who, in fact, I met through the Pixologic Educational portal), this application has grown from a simple sculpture for the iPad into a fully-developed application for iPad, iPhone, Mac desktop and eventually Andriod and PC desktop platforms.”
We’re definitely excited for the release of l’Ecorché! Keep an eye on Michael’s website, md3dinc.com, for updates on the release.
Pixologic, and the Gnomon School of Visual Effects played host to a packed house yesterday evening. Fans, industry giants, and socialites made their way into the green screen hanger on the grounds of the Television Center Studios here in Hollywood to watch the live sculpt off.
Sony Santa Monica artists Bryan Wynia and Sam Sharit, started off the evening with their take on an old favorite, and brought Swamp Thing to the party. Then the Lunch Crunch crew gave way to Lunch Crunch godfather and DreamWorks artist, Danny Williams aka “PointPusher” taking the night into overdrive.
Special thanks to the staff and technical crew at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects, for their efforts in helping to make the night a clay slinging success.

ZBrushCentral fan favorite Jason Martin (aka believerdeceiver) has posted yet another thread of incredible artwork. Jason, a 3D Character Artists at Blur Studios, has been sharing his creations with the ZBC community for the past few years. No stranger to the Top Row, this is the third time he’s gotten the nod.

It’s a two-for-one deal at ZBrushCentral today! We have another top row post, and this one is from Tomasz Strzalkowski (aka Tomstrzal on ZBC). Thomasz might not be a frequent poster, but he’s no stranger to the Top Row gallery. His original post in his sketchbook got him the nod back in December 2010. The ancient spaceship in Thomasz’s latest work was built completely in ZBrush (some compositing in Photoshop) and continues on the theme of massive environments that he is known for.

Newcomer “LrZo” has recently received a top row nod for his sculpt based on the French comics “Robin Hood” by Brremaud and Simon Loche. LrZo started off wanting to create a sculpt to honor the original artwork, but the colors made him expand upon his original idea.

ZBrushCentral favorite Tsvetomir Georgiev (aka PSTCHOART) is at it again! He has been using and abusing (in the best possible way) the new features in ZBrush 4R3. This model was made entirely in ZBrush and is a prime example of the power of FiberMesh and BPR.
