This experimental project explores the creation of organic surface textures using ZBrush. Starting from simple spherical forms, I tested a range of sculpting brushes to produce natural patterns such as cracks, cell-like structures, and porous surfaces. These methods were then applied to more complex geometries to study how texture behaves on curved and irregular forms.
Through this process, I developed a deeper understanding of how organic surfaces are built through layered sculpting, variations in brush pressure, and controlled deformation. The study informed my approach to translating beetle-inspired structures into architectural elements and contributed to the development of Chitin Portals, guiding future explorations of materiality and form.
