Arkham City’s Solomon Grundy bursts to life in this high caliber action figure by none other than ZBrushCentral artist, Joe Menna. Joe is a long time member of the ZBrushCentral community and this Batman bad guy gets himself a spot on the coveted Top Row.

This version of Solomon Grundy is a whopping 13” and was sculpted and engineered by Joe using features like Dynamesh. The printing, casting and painting duties were handed over to Jason Wires. The project’s art director was Bryon Webster. This latest piece is part of the DC Collectibles line and pretty cool if you ask us! Visit Joe Menna’s website and user gallery to see an awesome collection of traditional and digital artwork.

Over the years, Jelmer Boskma (known at ZBC under the user name Jelmer) has used ZBrush to create some truly memorable characters. Who could forget his treatment of Johnny Depp, or his Senator Tumblestone and Mr. Bigears creations? Over the last couple of years he has been pretty quiet on ZBC but that certainly isn’t because he hasn’t been creative! In fact he has been extremely busy, working on such projects as Tron: Legacy, Thor and more recently, Warm Bodies.

While zombies have appeared in a large number of productions over the years, Look Effects and Jelmer wanted to give them a new twist: creating a look where their clothing had actually begun to become absorbed into their decaying bodies. In this interview, he talks about how ZBrush was used to help accomplish that – and much more!

Eat 3D has released another DVD in their line of ZBrush training. In “ZScripting with ZBrush,” instructor Nick Miller gives a comprehensive introduction of ZScripting with ZBrush. He starts from the basics by showing how ZScripts are structured and going through the most common commands. From there Nick shows how to build a functional interface, how to correctly use routines and secondary actions for buttons, and how to use more complex commands such as variable lists and saving & loading files and preferences. Finally, Nick shows how to combine all of those steps to create a complex, feature rich tool which is compiled into a plugin.

This DVD is perfect for those who want to learn how to start ZScripting in ZBrush today to increase their productivity or for artists wishing to move from another scripting language and wish to get a head start.
