Inspiration & Reference
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.

Zen Monastery 
Here's some cool pictures from a somethingawful thread that a guy took while he was staying at a Zen Monastery in New York.

Military Textures 
I asked some days ago where could I find some military textures..., and I found an incredible source of Military textures at http://www.combatmission.com/ ... There are no .map files (cause it's not Quake related...), but it's full of different military stuff (boats, jeeps, tanks, planes, etc..) that can be used to create prefab...
I downloaded a 1942 Willy Jeep example, and it's really interesting, while the textures are in bmp format, and sometimes not 1:1 scaled... There is a little bit of work to do.... Anyway, it looks interesting..
So enjoy !!

meant it resembles the doom 1 parallax sky. (It was made from some photograph from China, this is Taiwan so the terrain might be similar if it's close by). 
Tokyo Waterways (the Arteries)

It's "unrealized," not "unreleased!" 
Cold Fear Concept Art 
Nice Forum Site There, Metl 
The exterior design production photos are really ace. I wonder what kind of system it will take to get the pouring rain effect working in engine as it is shown in modeler here. The interior photos are the clean lab/base look we all love and may never tire of seeing. 
Coolness 
sexy as hell there, cheers metl

Those are paintings, not 3D. 
I See, 
I was thinking Maya or 3ds when I was browsing through it; the artist explains his process later in the forum:

Se7en : Most of the environnments are painted over really simple 3d box, some roughs space done for fixing the level building and gameplay. No lights, no architecture and 3D elements. Just perspective and scale with some character references on them.

In fact when I haven't this kind of 3d ref, I create my own "3dboxes" and perspectives with photoshop (with some grid to help, just walls, space and a roof).
Photoshop used for its specifities, like a kind of architectural tools.
