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.

thanks! i have a cd of Alan Lamb ( http://www.discogs.com/release/176430 ). He uses the sound of electro poles in his album, sounds almost the same as on video, but with additional treatments.

Living Utilities!

That's pretty wild! I've experienced something similar - in Land Surveying we use magnetic locators a lot (e.g. http://www.schonstedt.com/index.cfm?page=GA-52Cx ) - kind of advanced metal detectors for ferrous metals - we use them to find old monumentation for parcels.

When they are used over buried utility lines or under power lines you can hear a strange, creepy modulation much like in the youtube link - but the power line "hum" imposes itself over the standard detector beep/whine. It also works on underground telephone and IT cables, but to a lesser extent - and mass transmission lines give the best (and creepiest) effect.

Next time I hear it I'll try to get audio and post it. Neat links, though!

One problem - their galleries are all flash and thus you can't save any images. :/

isn't there some program out there to rip images out of flash files?

Hmm.

English URL, French(?) content. Weird.

Print Screen's pretty good for taking images from flash/right-click-disabled sites.

Oh It's Got Both English And French(?).

you could always just grab xnview and set up the screengrabber to take shots when you press a key. Pretty easy, though you'll end up with unwanted parts of windows etc.

Concept Art...

try out GadWin Printscreen. You can set it up so when you hit printscreen you just drag out a box shape on your screen and it will capture that to a folder for you.

http://www.gadwin.com/printscreen/ oh yeah, its all free! and works fantastic for all sorts of things.

is an awesome dude and I saw him this week. He's in Austin now doing far better work.

One of my favorites of his (from his oceans-of-disturbed-beatin'-off-material page):
