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.

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

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

google for more, or come to St.Petersburg to see it :)

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
