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 was a neat little thread on conceptart, mostly figures and whatnot but had a couple sweet structural/semi-structural bits too. I like the dragon thing with the cathedral on its back.

Semi useful. More artsy photos with lots of empty warehouses reflected on wet floors, but can be useful.

Why isn't this thread permanent at the top of the page?

Oh, Hey, Look At That

What a great idea! I don't remember who, but someone was talking about this very idea in #terrafusion.

morden.htm is way cool. This sort of thing will send zombie to Spencer Street looking for his next D3 build area.

I Can Assure You That This Is Not In The Least Bit Amusing

Victorian Underground + D3 monsters = American Werewolf In London? :)

Ah--OOOO

It would be a nice change of D3 pace

Good movie, and you could slim down Fatty Zombie for a pensive Lon Chaney look.

I dunno if this has been posted here before, because I remember it from some time ago.

Anyway, a repeat won't hurt:

That site is bloody brilliant as the british would say. My home city doesn't have an history as rich or as interesting, so I didn't appreciate New York's until now. The artificats really are a small glimpse into an interesting story.
