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.

Rorshach's recent "ivory" texture set got me thinking along art nouveau lines recently. I don't think it's going to happen until ... oh, who am i kidding? it's never going to happen :P

Machu Picchu

#23 posted by R.P.G. on 2003/04/22 14:03:15

The ancient Inca city of Machu Picchu in Peru serves as a nice reference for stone ruins. It reminds of Koohoo and Uzul.

Since I don`t know of a specific site that has lots of good pics, I`ll just link to a Google image search for "Machu Picchu".

Asian Reference

#28 posted by metlslime on 2003/08/24 18:19:14

Welcome to www.orientalarchitecture.com, a photographic survey of Asia's architectural heritage. Here you can view over 6500 photos of 462 sites in seventeen countries, with background information and virtual tours. This website is a collection of photos from many different contributors.

Lots of great reference there. The only down side is that the images are all roughly 600x400.

Hmmm Mebbe I Should Up Some Photos I've Taken In The Past That Have In

I remember the program, 'Making Their Mark' iirc; each episode followed one artist as they created an image specifically for the program. I held on to that particular image and used it for...oh, you know.

Maybe some people have links to good articles on leveldesign theory ?

For example gamasutra features, like http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20030603/licht_01.shtml
