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.

Lessee.
A masculine huge-jawed hero testpilot and his comic sidekick small mechanic guy test fly a german war booty aircraft.

A woman is involved too.

But the real beauty is the aircraft, perhaps the best looking ever constructed in the history of aviation.

That bank is SO not going to go bankrupt. It probably has its own time travel device built into it to prevent such catastrophes.

Also, to get an account there the bouncer has to think you're cool enough.

Plastic Bank

#1141 posted by bambuz on 2008/09/25 20:56:28

Shit won't stick on it.

Sadly, what happens when that surface is tarnished? You can't change any panels or grind out or anything, since it's monolithic.

And it also probably turns yellow with time.

Plastic summer cottages were marketed in Finland in the sixties. You don't see any around...

Random Suggestion

suggestion for someone else to make for Q1SP, maybe speedmapping session:

Pyramids in Antarctica (as in, they were built so long ago that it was tropic there at the time), as in Lovecraft's AtMoM, or even (maybe) in the Bob Dylan song Isis.

In The Bob Dylan Song Isis.

Rollercoasters are the way of the future - you can do tight turns with high speed since the track can be tilted.

There's been a huge number of fascinating concepts for mass transit but something always comes in the way:
