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.

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?

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.

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

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.
