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.

cool. Quake 4's Aqueducts were a bit like that, minus the water (and interesting gameplay ;))

They Paved Their Entire River?

ok, they're just going out of their way to make LA depressing.

i've seen a lot of canals like that around southern california (even as far north as santa cruz.) They are almost always dry or have a tiny trickle of water in them, and I think they are usually more for flood control than for aesthetics.

But they look cool.

Aye

We have some of those back home in Adelaide, they are dry most of the time but are more an emergency measure in case there is a lot of rainfall.

Interesting

We don't have those in Perth, to my knowledge. Perhaps our drainage is more favourable?

Historical Note:

architecture in america at that time was very much "take europe's buildings and make the windows bigger," which shows in those images pretty well.

Pretty cool article about how a map author modded q3map2 to allow for all sorts of new mapping techniques to be used.

Nice screenshots too :)
