Inspiration & Reference
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.

Is It ... 
really a french blade runner, or is it a different movie that happens to be comparable to blade runner? 
Metl 
its just a futuristic noir with a really bad story but with some cool black and white visuals. 
Yeah... 
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.

You Might Mean 
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. 
Naah`Im Sorry Like But The First One Was Much Better!!! 
 
Hm

Is the mondo spider, does look a bit jerky, but faster than I expected as well.

Couldn't find video of the MECANT. 
Mondo 
looks a lot more flui9d and lifelike in this video: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8hfljB2wQD8&feature=related 
Yeah 
Even though it sounds like it's gonna explode.

Very nice piece of machinery; flashbacks from the terminator films. 
I Don't Know If This Was Mentioned Earlier 
Hmm 
I posted some new photoalbums on my site, maybe some of them could contain some ok reference material. Most interesting is Pierrefonds Castle:
