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.

concept art at the bottom. amusingly, it's basically "evil part of a game world concept design 101: put spikes on it"

Weird, the paper also references Lidwell. WHICH CAME FIRST?

The book credits the design concepts to Michael Brill, with the illustration by Safdar Abidi. That paper does too... I think these illustrations in the book are just cleaner copies compared to that PDF

These are awesome, it's from a WIP racing game called U racer.

I used to love making skyboxes in unreal. And I used to love terragen before it became really difficult to use.
