No, mathematician/computer scientist, I was at CERN for a computing conference. Did some particle physics in my degree though, so I knew a bit about what I was seeing (the best part of the tour though was having a real live CERN scientist as your guide you could pester with questions).

nice! i'm going to into math and compsci myself (AI) so perhaps we will formulate devious plans together..

the last comment says it all - "Looks nice but I keep expecting someone to pop out and start shooting" :D

Very interesting; for me it serves as a perfect example to demonstrate how using real-world scale always feels too small in games.

although this leaves little room for creativity, you have to admire the skill and attention to detail that (good) technical illustrators have.
Look at this ship ffs...

Only a few of these can be considered level design related, but all of it is cool:

CERN is the European version of Fermilab, featured in Dan Brown's book Angels & Demons. It is also the birthplace of the WWW - yup, the web was invented to do particle physics! Go figure.

Some really weird stuff. Hard-to-navigate-site though.

I've just opened the equake rar file containing the skyboxes mentionned above (see previous post), and skyboxes are in png format. Furthermore, the end names (i.e _lf, _rt, _bk, _up, _dn, and _ft) are not correct... I'm currently working on thesse files in order to convert all the stuff into .tga format, and also to restore proper end names... I'll post a link with the modified stuff later...

I bet many of these are from Kell. Check his site before you do extra work. ;)

No, none of them are mine. I think a couple of them might be sock's.
The panels are only 256x256, instead of 512 or larger.
Most of them aren't very good either tbh.
Too Late...

.. already done... Nevertheless, I saw, where I found these skyboxes, that Kell's skyboxes are also referenced... I hope it is not coming, or even copyed, from Kell's skyboxes...
Note I didn't verify deeply: I just didn't find any matching names between the 2 sets... ;P
So I apologize a lot in advance if Kell would find something that would be his own work, cause it it is not my intention to stole his talent... ;)
.. I only modifed what I found as is on the internet..
Anyway, here is the link (22Mo file !!):
