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.

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.

I Missed Going There

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...

Hiding simple things with generous effects can still look cool.
