Inspiration & Reference
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.

Michigan Central Station 
 
that already looks like CGI! 
That's Because 
it's shitty fake 'hdr' 
Preach 
Oh, nice arches and curves everywhere inside the station... very cool place that gives me plenty of idea for my next map :D 
The Sixties 
Somehow that was the apex of cool technology.

Inflatable space radio reflectors, Echo and Pageos. Brighter than most stars viewed from Earth's surface. 
Oh Forgot Link 
Nice Concept Pics 
It's Fake HDR! 
we all already know this with our own eyes. Why must somebody inevitably always, always, always make a point of mentioning in the post after that something is phoney photoshopped HDR like effects? We get it, comment on the actual pictures themselves if you're gonna.

and to contribute some pictures that are unrelated to my whining.

a little bit bright for our FPS tastes, but the idea is there.

How many times have we complained about bloom? :)

Grantz

No Reason To Get Excited 
It's just a completely regular pump action shotgun.

Very depressing. Some look like certain areas in Berlin to me.

Built on lies, delusion, and fake grandeur, and sadness after failure.

Back in August I went on holiday to Rome and took a crazy amount of pictures (about 2000) which were not really organized into any special order. Over the last couple of months I have been trying to group them into relevant topics and gradually realeasing them on my website. The last set above took the most time to compile because it is a series of pictures I took for architecture reference / inspiration reasons and I wanted to explain why I liked them in the first place. Most of the pages (on the last picture set only) contain links to additional relevant images so the initial index of pictures is just a header to more.

Hope you enjoy the pictures and if anyone finds them useful I would love to see what they create from seeing them. Also if anyone finds any spelling or grammer mistakes please mail me because I would like to correct them.
