Giger & Beksiński inspired pack

Why this pack?

This pack of resources is a ‘tribute’ I’ve been wanting to do for a long time and it is inspired by two of my favourite artists: Hans Ruedi Giger and Zdzisław Beksiński.

I created the brushes in this pack to help me sculpt details in ZBrush that resembles the patterns from the dystopian surrealism of Beksiński’s work and Giger’s biomechanical aesthetic. The intention is to provide you with some tools to speed up the detailing process and help you create interesting patterns for your own projects.

Although they were created with a specific purpose, the brushes can also be used in a variety of ways and for all sorts of styles.

Resource Insight.

The Giger & Beksiński Inspired Pack comes with 45 brushes that have been created with the specific purpose of helping create intricate patterns and detail your models in ZBrush. These brushes simplify the process of adding complex organic patterns for your ‘creepy’ concepts. The brushes can also be tweaked, using ‘Alt’ to invert the effect, to produce even more variations in your designs.

Different brushes have different behaviour and ways that you can apply the effect to the surface (refer to Quick start guide in the PDF included in the download file for more info). You’ll get a variety of ‘Curve’, ‘Pattern’, ‘Directional’, ‘Membrane’ and ‘General purpose’ brushes.

What to expect?

Overview

The brushes from this pack are really fun and they will help you create a variety of very cool patterns. There are a couple of ‘curve’ brushes for instance, that have 7 or 8 variations of the ‘tubes’ you can create with them, so you actually get 15 variations within those two brushes.

Other brushes like the ones from the ‘general purpose’ category work really well with any type of project to simple sharpen your details or exaggerate the volumes.

The ‘Membrane’ and ‘Patterns’ are awesome to produce really ‘creepy’ and organic surfaces, but keep in mind that most of these brushes are ideal for detailing so you still need a solid base with a solid volume to take full advantage of their effects.
