Last year BadKing hosted the FREE Mega Monster Brush Pack with the community donating close to 200 individual monster parts. It was a true international effort with contributions coming from all over the globe including many well known ZBrush artists, students and professionals alike.

Now it’s time to do it again with a FREE COMMUNITY MEGA MECH PACK!! Create or even send us your existing Mech Models including arms, legs, heads, armoured torsos, weapons, tank tracks, jet pack/ engines to name a few. Just like last year, only the very best pieces will be included in the final Mech Brush Pack.
