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.

That's Pretty Far From Me

2 hours by plane.

There is a giant ash cloud that's made the air even worse and full of super heated pulverized sand (ie. particulate glass) and cancelled a few international flights though.

I'm not sure all those different trees would grow in the same climate.

They Would

Some shots from the Wolfenstein DLC that made me think of Quake ...

Sorry, the last shot was a mistake ... deleted! So the link is bad.

Shot 2 Is Remarkably Quakey

My glossary is different from his; currently I'm using these:

Look Ahead / Behind -> Projected Focus / Physics Smoothing / Target Focus
Look Box -> Camera Window
Camera Spring -> Lerping
Points of Interest -> Cue Focus
Camera Collision -> Edge Snapping

With camera shake pending.

Building a camera I try to have as few components as possible, but have them interact well to produce a more complex behaviour, which is why some of my terms seem to overlap a few of the ones he names.

I'm still missing camera shake and what he might term 'Target Focus Return'.

Platform snapping is a very interesting solution - I'd forgotten about that one.

Warren, those are your shots? Look awesome. And the stripped skulls beg many questions.

Well, shots I took, yeah. I didn't have anything to do with their creation...

this related post is awesome too... people often see prints and photos of famous paintings, but rarely get to see how thick and textured the paint actually is
