Func_Msgboard: Inspiration & Reference

Posted by metlslime on 2003/02/17 08:18:34

I just wanted to know if people had any links to good websites for either level design inspiration (photos, paintings, concept art, etc.) or just for architectural reference. We had a thread like this on the old qmap, but we know how much good that does us.

The second artbook is full of sketches like this: http://born-robotic.net/stuff/tekkonkinkreet.jpg
Which are also amazing.

extreme talent, extreme ambition. And diligence.
I don't know that movie but some anime things really go the extra mile in detail, something that is practically never seen in "for kids" western animation.

Well...

In the 'west', Pixar definitely go that extra mile too.

I Don't Like Pixar Too Much Though I Should Watch It More

Best western animation to me is probably the forties Donald Ducks etc. They're comedy but anyway you can feel identify with Donald so much in his hardships.
Bugs Bunny etc are cheap and nonsensical instead...

Ratatouille (sp?)

That movie almost made me cry.

Well...

Even if you don't enjoy Pixar movies, you can't deny their creative process is very in depth, the ammount of research and concept art they make for each movie is amazing. Everyone of the "The Art of..." artbooks released for each Pixar movie is great.

And yeah, Ratatouille is great, can't wait for Wall-E.

Ratatouille...

when will there be a postapocalyptic grand artsy adventure game? and I don't mean Fallout.

Maybe the assets are just too demanding.

I just absolutely love that concrete isogrid building.

that kind of style would be extremely hard to do with 3d graphics. Since modeling's mostly limited to the axis of more cheese or less cheese, especially when animated. Ok, kidding slightly with the last sentence.

Check out that absolutely huge spinner. It's like a caricature. Nobody would have the guts to make such in a movie
