GLOO GLOO
ARTIST Hossein Afzali
SOFTWARE ZBrush, Maya, Substance 3D Painter, XGen, Arnold
“Initially, Gloo Gloo was a 2D concept that I created for my YouTube channel. I decided to implement it in 3D with a few changes. I love characters with historical backgrounds, and I'm inexplicably drawn to cave people! I looked at many references from Adrie and Alfons Kennis (www.kenniskennis.com), who have done incredible work creating lifelike figures of early humans. However, my challenge was to maintain a balance between stylisation and realism.”
I'm glad Gloo Gloo came out of his cave and appeared in 3D World! I’ll definitely create his whole family so that he won't be alone!

PAINTBALL ARENA
THE AIM WAS TO COMBINE VIBRANT COLOURS WITH A CLEAN, FUTURISTIC AESTHETIC
ARTIST Simon Grefbäck
SOFTWARE Blender, ZBrush, Photoshop
“I wanted to create an interior design for a fast-paced paintball arena shooter within a 3D-printing facility dedicated to preserving architectural history, printing 1:1 scale replicas of ancient buildings, or what's left of them. The aim was to create an immersive environment that combined vibrant colours with a clean, futuristic aesthetic and a touch of retro nostalgia.
