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.

It is more impressive if you have played with this toy or other similar when a child.

I would like to see the city where this toothpick modeler lives, that's is some peculiar layout and architecture for a city.

Traditional painting, robots mixed with rural 80's realism:

Photos Of The Inside Of Instruments

Kind of quakey, in that these are atmospheric and otherworldly interior spaces with no apparent human purpose. What unknowable creatures lurk down long brass tunnels with looming cyclopean valves?

These are really good. The second photo (inside the guitar) reminded me instantly of one of the Gaudi buildings in Barcelona where there is lots of plain brick-work, with corballing and fluting, and curves and stuff, and effective natural lighting shining through small openings.

On a photographic level these are inspiring. Nice find.

How's it going to charge up enough static electricity to shoot lightning?

There's some good stuff on r/architecture and r/architectureporn from time to time.

Think of the level design possibilities:

1. hide behind it for cover
2. jump on it to reach high ledges
3. break it open to collect goodies
4. push it onto a floor switch to open a door
5. drop it onto an enemy to kill it.

6. Create A Giant Toilet DM Arena Inside It

A brilliantly realistic design too. Nails on all 3 sides of a corner? Exactly as it should be.
