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.

This is so delicious that I might actually be inspired to lay a few brushes:

Reminds me a good bit of Piranesi, but I think it is a modern work.

Escher going Piranesi, sure.
Always hate my lack of creativity seeing those pix!

I wrote myself a "set national geographic's photo of the day as desktop wallpaper" script some time ago and it is such a pleasure.

those must be powerful spotlights to illuminate the whole place... i mean, look at the size of that cavern. o.0 it's mind boggling.

I Missed Going There

when I was in Vietnam and I've been tempted ever since to go back just to do that bit.

Me Too

I did go to Tham Lot in Thailand though, which was pretty cool - didn't seem as amazing as this though!

I'm kind of worried about how that dude's gonna get down off of that rock...
