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 important that the map feels good "mostly" than just looks good.

That's a good way to put it NewHouse. I don't think my previous iteration "felt" good so thus we begin anew.

Of course it is good to try out new things. I personally loved your first release, it felt like a little venture. Sure it was a bit small map, but had so many memorable elements in it. All I'm waiting is something in a bigger scale really, since you already have that your own personal touch there and there.

Those are colors you don't see in Quake very often. Maybe someone should make a texture set like that.

Wow, that's an amazing reference pic for medieval maps! What's the name of this abandoned village if I want to look for more?

#3612 posted by Newhouse on 2016/10/26 10:31:22

That medieval town looks nice. Are you sure there isn't textures like those?

well that's handy. I just started a medieval map.

I believe that would be MovieTowne, in the county of Hollywoodshire. The buildings are known for their particularly well-preserved styrofoam walls.

Hah! So it really is a movie set, just not in Hollywood.

Pure shapes, nice. Sort of mini-brutalist. :-)

All those intersecting sand brushes are causing that beach's BSP calculations to really do some work.

#3624 posted by Mugwump on 2016/10/27 03:56:28

Upon closer inspection, it does have that slightly too-good-to-be-true look of a movie set. Still an awesome reference, though.

"Upon closer inspection, it does have that slightly too-good-to-be-true look of a movie set."

That photo is near the end of the page linked in #3615, which is how I found the video linked in #3617.

It was apparently part of a movie set used for "Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters" at Babelsberg Studio in Berlin. You can see more of it in that video.
