Func_Msgboard: Inspiration & Reference

Posted by metlslime on 2003/02/17 08:18:34

when somebody complains about a crappy map / game which is just plain corridors and stupid enemies, I can just say that "you just don't understand, it is perfect! A masterpiece of the hayden tunnel inspired".

Mostly character/animal/thing studies, but some nice architecture in "Paintings" at least. Some good links too (eg http://imphead.com/ ).

Russian Architecture

Detinets in Novgorod - been there, just not in winter time

Saviour on Blood cathedral has impressive exterior and interior (too detailed for my taste tho)

interior is very map-able

Beautifull paints ! And it will be difficult to reproduce the paints in a texture file IMHO...

#414 posted by gone on 2005/11/03 06:00:32

I was meaning just the arch style
