Realistic Modelling with ZBrush

Rafa Zabala began his artistic career as a traditional sculptor in 1995 and during those years he developed his work in different countries such as England, Australia or Portugal.

In 2010 he decided to redirect his career towards digital modeling working at The Mill (London), Weta Digital (New Zealand) and Psyop (United States) as Lead modeller. His work can be found in advertising campaigns and events of brands such as Volkswagen, Audi or Super Ball; in cinematics for video games such as League of Legends or Clash of Clans and in famous films like the sequels of The Hobbit, The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Ironman 3 or Man of Steel. Azog the defiler, the commander of the orcs, in The Hobbit; or Luca, the commander of the gorillas, in The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, are his work.

Since 2016 he has lived in Valencia, his hometown, where he has founded his own studio, from where he works for international clients while making his activity compatible with the lectures and masters he teaches.
