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.

Worth Making It A Thread Probably

useful articles like that are hard to find, the ones on the TeamShambler site spring to mind though

Shouldn't the curve be flexing while the spike is piercing it and not before?

True, but this looked more jelly.
wanted a spark in it, and more rushy...
with the id comes the others.

I posted a bigger one, but the same name
returns me the stamp folio-size.

I'M SO INSPIRED!

With a little more effort those could have been haiku.

40,000 images of art and architecture, brought to you by the Courtauld Institute of Art:

(Also, when you see it say "this feature is only available to registered users," don't get discouraged -- the feature you were expecting is still available, and the only thing you can't do usually is weird stuff like save your searches, build image sets for others to view, etc.)

thanks for that, some really really nice stuff there. I know what I'm doing all of tomorrow morning.

Eh Woah?

What, using that inspiration to start some bad ass mapping??

I think he means 'Masturbate furiously over them all' seeming as nitin doesn't map.

ArtServe: http://rubens.anu.edu.au/

This site has tons of high-resolution images. For example:

10,000+ pictures of Cairo: http://rubens.anu.edu.au/htdocs/bycountry/egypt/index1.html

50,000+ pictures of Japan: http://rubens.anu.edu.au/htdocs/bycountry/japan/index1.html

60,000+ pictures of Italy: http://rubens.anu.edu.au/htdocs/bycountry/italy/index1.html

You could spend the rest of your life downloading all of these.

do you do any map making at work or do you just dig out reference sites from the net all day? :)

Cybear:

#59 posted by metlslime on 2003/12/05 13:48:16

You joke, but that is an important part of the mapping process, especially if you're doing it professionally.

Anyway, i found the last few links on metafilter or memepool. (browsing those is what i REALLY do all day!)

Good One, Cybear

#60 posted by HeadThump on 2003/12/05 14:19:57

but if that is what Metlslime does with his time, we are all the better for it. I've been looking at nautical themes lately too, and these links are a welcomed addition.
