About the Instructor

Martin is a Canadian based digital artist who has worked in the Film, Games and Commercial Industries. His work includes a stint as the lead modeller at Technicolor | VFX and his film credits include 300, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and The Fountain.

Martin Krol, "I have been working with ZBrush since close to it's inception. Initailly I struggled to make anything useful, but like the artists at WETA I noticed that the guys at Pixologic had something really cool on their hands. Over the years and as the package evolved I have stayed in close contact with the developers and have learned a lot about ZBrush. Through watching these videos I hope that you will learn ZBrush's extensive toolset in a much shorter period of time than it took me and wish you the best of luck at the start of your journey into character creation using ZBrush."
