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.

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!!!

Couldn't find video of the MECANT.

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

I posted some new photoalbums on my site, maybe some of them could contain some ok reference material. Most interesting is Pierrefonds Castle:

But there's some ok stuff from Honfleur and La Rochelle here too:

A real gem!

It's really striking how the vision focuses on what could be possible while completely ignoring the cost of realization.

Yeah And

#950 posted by bambuz on 2007/12/26 17:39:37

how horrible and cold it would feel in everyday life with the vast barren areas. No real possibility for walking or bicycling either. Effortless shopping - makes you fat too.

Of course it's natural to realize what problems are created only after you have created systems resembling that, and operated them for decades.
