H.R. Giger, the artist who created the signature style of the Alien series, died earlier this week at age 74. As a tribute, Moxstudios posted this work - modeling and texturing were done in 3D Coat, lighting and texture baking were done in Cycles - an awesome demonstration of this new feature!

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

May he now rest in peace.
Very nice. Very fitting.
Fusing the erotic, gothic and surreal Giger was an art movement unto himself. He inspired me from an early age with his fantastic dreamscapes and esoteric imagery. I was compelled to illustrate a tribute to him this week drawing imagery from his own works including Alien and the Birthing Machine at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2014/05/in-memoriam-hr-giger.html . Drop by and share how his artwork opened your own mind!
H.R. Giger was an amazing artist and inspiration. I was sad to hear of his death.
Small world, I worked in UK back in the day for Not A Number with Ton and the crew, good to see you Bart!
