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.

Next Speedmap Theme

make a map based on a lego model :)

You'd get a selection of pictures to start off with and mappers would be free to choose a model to base their map on from those pics. Either that or just look for a cool model themselves. Pics of the lego version must be supplied in the speedmap zip or as a texture in the map.

Love that castle, btw.

This is the most blatant and shoddy photoshop. I assume it's a joke:

some may have been photoshopped, but they are still good for inspiration.
