Yes. It's just that it's not really a case of copying any one of these places wholesale, but going 'hey, something kinda like that doorway would work well over here in my map'.

This is just speaking for myself of course 

I agree, it will be very hard to copy exactly one of these japan houses/building/bridge, etc, but some of these japanese architectures just gave some cool ideas..... You will perhaps see them in a future brand new map not yet started today, because I had a project coming soon...;)...
So Shambler needs to be patient for a long time I think ;) 

JPLambert, thx a lot that Japanese site is just what I'm looking for!! Tons of shinto/buddhist architecture. Thanks a super bunch, you are the first person on Func to actually be helpful!

Shambler: I do. Well, I am now anyway. 

What I found:
http://phototravels.net/japan/photo-gallery/temples.html

http://acro.harvard.edu/GEI/japan.html

Shinto architecture. 

Your links are cool too !!! I think now the major issue is to create a japan-like texture set that corresponds with this kind of design... Is there someone who know where it is possible to download, or do I need to build it by myself ?? 

A site link to photos of old Khymer was the direct reference point for the outer areas in my last map. 

JPLambert, have a look at the textures in g1zm0's Japanese Castle & Mr. Clean's Kihaku

I've looked around for a good japanese texture set but have not found one, so i'm making one from various sources including daikatana episode 4, but so far it's not turning out so well. 

there was a link a few posts ago to old, busted down industrial machinery and such which i liked and incorporated into a map i'm working on... 

Oh yes, of course DKT had some things too didn't it.

You want DKT.zip 

...stop trolling and go make sure the code on your D3 custom level review site is up to scratch.

PS: Please push SP, already DM focus is bleh! 

I hope there is a large and qualitative enough D3 community to give Shambler a reason to revive his sight.

My complaints about D3 are strictly about the Monster placement and a few other nitpicks. I thought the emmersive feel and the art media used in it were incredible, and there was definitely enough content in it, perhaps enough to push back the trend towards shorter games. 

if the mappers come out and support D3! Meh Anglais sux . . . 

Two points:

1. Thanks for the encouragment to start a D3 site. I really liked the game and would like to see good maps for it, but I don't think I'm getting back into the site thing. Also, it will have plenty of support already....my preference was always for offering support where it was really needed.

2. As for the "Do you ever map from these inspirations" comments, I stand by that. I think CZG summed it up the best =). 

I would say, czg == fapmeister, except that czgd302 will blow everyone away...



...czgd301 will be bad concept level. 

this vormit won't leave my shovel alone...

great... 

To distract him.

Long enough to let you finish him off the proper way at least.

With a ^_~ 

Thank you very much !!! It's exactly what I was looking for !! Great link concerning the geneticrose website and its wad collection !! As well for the Q3 map examples ;)..
Thanks.. 

Oh, and one additional point, if you want any other WADS put up there (I'm aware I'm missing some 'major' ones atm), email chris - @ - geneticrose.com 

a thanks from me as well. 

mayb eyou meant noentity 

though those wads noentity put up are helpful 

I guess i never posted this one:
