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.

So the sun is closest to greenland, canada and britain... makes sense considering how hot those places are... and australia is furthest from the sun, that icy tundra of a country.

Other than the Tower of Babel, does anyone have any neat reference of a "tower of stairs"? Stuff like Tatlin's Tower:

or things of that ilk. Tall, and a little out of control.

Not quite the same, but campaniles are weirdly absent from Quake.

https://www.google.cl/search?q=campaniles&rlz=1C1KMZB_enCL575CL575&espv=2&biw=1680&bih=965&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=nmcdVbqeFYKkyAS_pILICQ&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ#tbm=isch&q=medieval+campaniles

I couldn't see of the crumbling examples though. Climbing up the inside of one is pretty hair raising, because there are no internal floors (at least in the one I went up).

Second row, third from left: I used to use a very similar one of these comptometers, made by Burroughs. I used it to work out discounts like thirty-three and one third % plus ten %, which is 40%, not 43.33% of course. More complicated discounts were not so obvious and needed a machine to work out.

Those were the (non-decimal) days when men were men and pin tables were the Quake of the day.

mfx - That's an awesome link. And then I saw this : "Curated by Paul Pepera." Ahh, that's why. :)
