I tried that Death Illustrated download but it's broken. :( 

the e-mail, and that white bgcolor issue. I'll fix that. Thanks. 

Are there any screenies of Death Illustrated? I'd be interested in looking before downloading. 

Wonder where he got my addy from?
hmmm... 

He probably got it from one of these two places:

My site does everything cube!

heh. Thanks, underworldfan. 

I have a bunch of private search engines here that I'm trying to use to find books and articles on architecture. Specificly, I'm trying to find stuff about general concepts in design, structureand organization; instead of stuff like architectural styles such as victorian. I'm not hitting on much so far, and I was hoping that people might be able to suggest some keywords or even authors that I should try. 

The webhost for DI is being a dick. I'll look into getting the download placed somewhere. Maybe my own site. Give it a day or so. 

The one that everyone seems to mention is "Architecture: Form, Space, and Order" by Francis Ching. 

I just stuffed the words "philosophy" and "architecture" into Google and got some interesting results; you might try using those as keywords.

Example: Book Review

[q]
Proportions: Science, Philosophy, Architecture
Richard Padovan � 1999

The main argument which appears to dominate this book is the idea that "The world is a harmonious mathematical creation and that in order to participate in that harmony the things we make must obey the same mathematical laws".[/q]

Unfortunately, a lot of the results are personal and academic pages; so be prepared for some Adventures In Tasteless Html :P 

fek off wi' yer quotation tags :/ 

If "philosophy" produces to much 'pie in the sky' you could instead use "theory" or "mathematical harmony" ( I tried just "harmony" and got a ton of ads for some server package :/ )

This is an online book, and it's quite extensive:

Okay, end spam 

You are mah friend. Thanks, that's very helpful. If anyone else has some ideas... 

I completely forgot to send you the link to that littel Q2-Dm I made using your Speedbaze set. So, you can grab it here if you are interested in taking a look at "Blood-Red Sky"...

And while I am at it...

This one is 99% Ogro textures, but I did use some of your Lights. It is called "And What Rough Beast" Oh, and it does make extensive use of "Kat's" Rock textures.

Lastly, I used your Speedy Tech set in a shameless re-make of Deck-16 for Q2 (All original brush-work btw). I do not in usual practice do "covers" of other's maps but I have had a couple mates that bugged me incessently to make this one over for Q2. Ergo...
The tech set was just the ticket...

Thanks for all your hard work on these sets, your textures/art are so nice to work with.

These are all Q2-Dm maps BTW 

Looks like I'll be re-installing Q2 then.

Looks like they're building a whole new company there! 

is a headhunter agency i think...

anyway i'm sure that anyone that's ever released a level has gotten that email, plus it's way to long to look good on the news page :) 

have received it :) 

maric72 looks very nice there, especially the lighting.

And seriously, those maric76 shots just call for that to be turned into an SP map, very RTCW-ish looking. CLassy stuff! 

i got that e-mail too. no kidding, and i havent even released a level! hehe. 

Thought I'd mention that PC Gamer said that Enclave was a better game than Unreal 2 and the screens look awesome.

I beleive that wrath(?) worked on Enclave, so congratulations to you. =) 

/me adds another vote for MaricSP
btw those rocks are terragen or 'handmade' ? 

but, "being a better game than Unreal 2" isn't excactly high praise, IMHO
