i wanted to say: that guy shoots forest well, which i seldom see. But then, I scroll through the pictures, and yeah, EVERY forest shot has fog in it. probably serves to prove that you cannot do forest without atmo tricks.

Kinda cute and not too complicated to map, so, errr, go map? 

This stuff screams "map me!"

When a dog is chasing a car, it's more fun when he doesn't get to sink his teeth into the rear bumper. 

Fun for who, though?

Go use them. 

You'll want to cock around with the colours/brightness/contrast as they will be too washed-out for quake as-is. 

 

oh yeah, i remember those from like 10 years ago. I love the hand-painted style. They'd probably lose all their character at quake resolution, but if you packaged them as high-res replacements i think they'd work well. 

Decreasing the brightness a bit and increasing the contrast and I am sure you can get it looking fine. 

There are really interesting things on this website... nice finding

I went on a twitter rampage posting pictures from that book a while back: https://storify.com/joel_k_baxter/snippets-from-paolo-soleri-s-arcology

Doctorow's photos are pretty good quality though!

If you want to get higher-quality versions of my pictures, then I occasionally have them sitting in my public Dropbox: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11690738/temp/arcology.zip
