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.

Ive never seen anything like that! Is that place open to the public? I'd say obviously its real, how old do you think those skeletons are?

#921 posted by nitin on 2007/10/27 04:28:52

looks cool in parts.

Yeah...

#922 posted by bal on 2007/10/27 09:11:10

Nowhere near as good as Blade Runner though.

Is It ...

#923 posted by metlslime on 2007/10/27 10:36:05

really a french blade runner, or is it a different movie that happens to be comparable to blade runner?

its just a futuristic noir with a really bad story but with some cool black and white visuals.

Yeah...

#925 posted by bal on 2007/10/27 11:20:39

What nitin said, the script is really poor, and the black&white rendering was slapped onto it towards the end of production cause they didn't quite figure out how to do what they wanted, and it ended up hiding 80% of the awesome facial animation work that was done for it.
Some of the settings are quite nice, especially if you know Paris, and I guess the style is original enough to make it worth seeing, but it's definetely not a great movie.

Classical Architecture

http://www.classicist.org/handbook/index.html

Very specific diagrams and measurements on the Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, and Tuscan styles of classical architecture, which are recycled a hell of a lot throughout history.

probably too academic (and not on a Quake scale) for most but it's damned handy for me at the moment.

the finnish mecant. http://automation.tkk.fi/MECANT
It can be seen in the scifi-movie "Lipton Cockton in the Shadows of Sodoma" as well. The director said when they were filming that scene, everybody had to wear hearing protection since the noise from the machine was so horrible.
