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.

Clearing out an old hard drive I came across these from a quick trip to Barcelona a few years ago.

I reckon that if Gaudi had ever played computer games, Quake would be his number one!

Seeing that really makes me want to re-install Minecraft, but if I do that I'll be its slave for weeks. Dilemma.

Wow

That would be an awesome Quake map: "The Venice Area"...

Yeah, I've been there once, really impressive.

you'd think that the modern square/utilitarian book shelves would look gross in a elaborate gothic setting, but it actually looks really good. i love that contrast.

Yeah

#2078 posted by Drew on 2013/06/27 20:37:36

it looks very cool.

So Much Detail
