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.

Really impressive construction.

Yeah, this NORAD stuff is very inspirational for a secret slipgate facility. Thanks mfx!

Iteration,The Second Coming

Again I faced a massive overhaul on my map. Last time I took away 3/4 of the brushes...this time just an entire room has been altered from top to bottom.

It is a bit uncomfortable to knock down walls and base structural brushes but just like last time I am 5 times more satisfied with the result!

Do not be afraid to scratch that itch!

As long as we're satisfied playing it, you can scratch your itch all you like!

Not quite the same scale, but a nice contemporary shot

I almost signed up to help build a similar type of house with a team of volunteers one summer a couple years ago.

I Love Fog...

I was walking to work today, from service station. Different route than I usually go (by car) and I stumbled across this piece of concrete, covered with fog: http://khreathor.xyz/photos/concrete_fog_01.jpg

Buildings On Bridges

Now I see where they got the idea for Kaldwin's Bridge.

Might also be a great idea for a Quake map.
