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.

I love the lighting effects more than the architecture but I am sure someone here will dig the pipes and stuff.

I think I just decided to stop living in reality altogether. I am going to jump into the internet through my monitor and live in that website.

Looks like DICE visited that place and based the entire visual style of Mirror's Edge on it :)

Centralia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centralia,_Pennsylvania

This was a world where no human could live, hotter than the planet Mercury, its atmosphere as poisonous as Saturn's. At the heart of the fire, temperatures easily exceeded 1,000 degrees [Fahrenheit]. Lethal clouds of carbon monoxide and other gases swirled through the rock chambers. - David DeKok (1986)

I think I saw a documentary about that place, or at least somewhere very like it; one scientist remarked "we mined to get resources to bomb other countries, and what can you say, it ended up destroying this place too."

True Skate

This is just some iOS skateboard game, but I like the use of color, texture and lighting in these shots. Kind of reminds me of a cross between Mirror's Edge and Team Fortress 2:

I could see a quake 3 map looking really nice with this sort of look.
