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.

I Think It's Cool 
I think you are godless heathens 
Eeek 
Spent some time in the south of France again this summer, have a little album with photos on my site, might be some inspiring stonework stuff in some if any of you care to take a look around:

Guggenheim museum looks ok to me, the curves and stuff are pretty funky, and it must have been tricky to build. But yeah, it probably is quite over-rated. 
 
I've been to the Guggenheim in Bilbao, was cool, it looks very nice. Had a very hard time finding a bathroom though :/ 
Red Sands Fort 
Pwnage:

http://images.google.co.uk/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=red+sands+fort&btnG=Search

^^^ takes a little clicking to find the best pics, although for Brits there are some sweet ones in the Sunday Times magazine last weekend.

Can't believe I hadn't heard of this place before.

P.S. Edinburgh rocks, most impressive architectural city I've been too, some of it is straight evile. 
Red Sands Fort 
Nice, wouldn't mind visiting those, must be full of nice rusty metal work. =) 
Shambler: 
Nice. I've seen those pictures before, but never knew what the place was called. 
That Reminds Me 
of the Principality of Sealand:

Shallow, Pointless? 
there is quite a point in the deconstructivism

another thing, if you like it or not

but actually, I dont think it will make a cool map 
Release Candidate 
My map, "Slipstream," is in final beta today. You can get release candidate #1 here:

I want to finalize it tomorrow, so please test everything you can and let me know if there are any problems! thanks. 
Inertia 
Fantastic, I am sure a lot of mappers will use that as Inspiration and indeed Reference. 
Some Gallery I Stumbled Over

It's in russian, but I'm sure you'll manage clicking some pictures anyway. 
Shambler 
oops 
Czg 
Thanks. Those crane (earth mover?) pictures are pure inspiration straight from the distillery of time.

Some pics of oil rigs if you need I&R for that, also check out the 'Production facilities' link for some nice industrial sites, and the 'Sn�hvit' page has some good photos too. Skip the 'Corporate executive committee' page unless you want to see terrible old men.

More pics of oil related equipment. 
Thailand 
Mappers Are From Mars 
Scanned Ancient Maps 
Vondur 
Nice pics ! to your opinion, would it be easy to convert all these ancient maps in a single wad file ? ... I mean a wad file with enough quality for Quake ... ;P 
Um 
Why? Easier if someone just extracts the ones they want, and people probably wouldn't want it as original, but preferrably scribbled on more rough pieces of parchment/skin/marble or the like. 
Jpl 
yeah, convert ones u need, but you might loose all the beauty of the high resolution. it's better to use them in moreadvanced engines that supports hi res texes. 
My Idea... 
.. was to convert some of these pics in order to use the most interesting one as general HQ strategy maps, like you can find in Wolfenstein, etc... Anyway, I will try by myself to see if it's interesting or not... 
:/ 
too new maps to fit quake.. 
Some New Mars Pics 
spirit the sturdy rover and opportunity's twin, has reached the higpoint of husband hill and sent us some nice pics.
These are two samples (they have others and more resolutions too on the site):

I already mentioned someone might make a nice skybox.. after all, quakers are from Mars. 
 
i thought quakers are from hell...?! 
Doom... 
.. is the mother of all FPS game.... so Quakers are from Hell of Mars ;P
