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.

Talk About Inspiration 
I just deleted 75% of the map I am working on and because of it I now have more motivation and confidence to create exactly what I have in my head.

I believe Necros said that iteration is a necessary evil in map design and sometimes that problem is the very thing you do not want to remove. You scratch in every place but the actual source.

I had a huge central landmark that I was initially happy about. Since I spent so much time on it, I was stubborn on modifying it and tried to build my map based around said landmark. It resulted in numerous uninspired rooms connected to said structure.

Inspiration can come from a blank slate, a more refined outlook on your projected visions for a design. Sometimes you have to scratch that itch directly at the source and then some! 
 
I know the feeling. As a composer, I have more unfinished bits and pieces than actual listenable tracks. Don't throw that landmark away, though: it's very possible that at a later date you'll find the inspiration that presently eludes you. I have some stuff based on very old ideas that I couldn't resign myself to throw in the bin. 
@Bloughsburgh 
Sometimes it is better to remove everything and visualize parts that worked together well, instead of trying keep that "own baby" alive too long, it also helps if you're already "dead inside" then sacrifices like those will not matter at all. In many cases the end result might not be the most awesome looking, though it really helps if you're about 50% of design and 50% visuals, those will lead to some compromises to be made during the mapping.

Sometimes it is good to let the visuals speaks, those are often what makes the map memorable. Then in the other hand design can keep it fun/interesting longer than just the brushwork itself. Challenge is something really hard to pull off right, especially since that difficulty level has been changed a lot from 1996 to these days, by that I mean it is not just the map's design or your own vision what to follow alone. Quake's enemy AI doesn't like complex shapes, and loves simple straight hallways.. that way something boring looking might turn into something that just "feels good", it is more important that the map feels good "mostly" than just looks good. 
Feels 
it is more important that the map feels good "mostly" than just looks good.

That's a good way to put it NewHouse. I don't think my previous iteration "felt" good so thus we begin anew. 
@Bloughsburgh 
Of course it is good to try out new things. I personally loved your first release, it felt like a little venture. Sure it was a bit small map, but had so many memorable elements in it. All I'm waiting is something in a bigger scale really, since you already have that your own personal touch there and there.

Those are colors you don't see in Quake very often. Maybe someone should make a texture set like that. 
 
Wow, that's an amazing reference pic for medieval maps! What's the name of this abandoned village if I want to look for more? 
 
That medieval town looks nice. Are you sure there isn't textures like those? 
 
well that's handy. I just started a medieval map. 
 
What's the name of this abandoned village if I want to look for more

I believe that would be MovieTowne, in the county of Hollywoodshire. The buildings are known for their particularly well-preserved styrofoam walls. 
 
 
Hah! So it really is a movie set, just not in Hollywood.

All those intersecting sand brushes are causing that beach's BSP calculations to really do some work.

Upon closer inspection, it does have that slightly too-good-to-be-true look of a movie set. Still an awesome reference, though. 
 
"Upon closer inspection, it does have that slightly too-good-to-be-true look of a movie set."

That photo is near the end of the page linked in #3615, which is how I found the video linked in #3617.

It was apparently part of a movie set used for "Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters" at Babelsberg Studio in Berlin. You can see more of it in that video.

Again I faced a massive overhaul on my map. Last time I took away 3/4 of the brushes...this time just an entire room has been altered from top to bottom.

It is a bit uncomfortable to knock down walls and base structural brushes but just like last time I am 5 times more satisfied with the result!

Do not be afraid to scratch that itch!

Horrible layout too, to get to the other half of the 2nd floor from one half, you either go down to the 1st floor, leave and re-enter on the other side then go up to the 2nd floor, or you go up to the 3rd floor, across, and back down to the 2nd.

Part 2 
"Finally, the executioner, Samson, said to Monsieur Le Breton that there was no way or hope of succeeding, and told him to ask their Lordships if they wished him to have the prisoner cut into pieces. Monsieur Le Breton, who had come down from the town, ordered that renewed efforts be made, and this was done; but the horses gave up and one of those harnessed to the thighs fell to the ground. The confessors returned and spoke to him again. He said to them (I heard him): 'Kiss me, gentlemen.' The parish priest of St Paul's did not dare to, so Monsieur de Marsilly slipped under the rope holding the left arm and kissed him on the forehead. The executioners gathered round and Damiens told them not to swear, to carry out their task and that he did not think ill of them; he begged them to pray to God for him, and asked the parish priest of St Paul's to pray for him at the first mass.
"After two or three attempts, the executioner Samson and he who had used the pincers each drew out a knife from his pocket and cut the body at the thighs instead of severing the legs at the joints; the four horses gave a tug and carried off the two thighs after them, namely, that of the right side first, the other following; then the same was done to the arms, the shoulders, the arm-pits and the four limbs; the flesh had to be cut almost to the bone, the horses pulling hard carried off the right arm first and the other afterwards.
"When the four limbs had been pulled away, the confessors came to speak to him; but his executioner told them that he was dead, though the truth was that I saw the man move, his lower jaw moving from side to side as if he were talking. One of the executioners even said shortly afterwards that when they had lifted the trunk to throw it on the stake, he was still alive. The four limbs were untied from the ropes and thrown on the stake set up in the enclosure in line with the scaffold, then the trunk and the rest were covered with logs and faggots, and fire was put to the straw mixed with this wood.
"...In accordance with the decree, the whole was reduced to ashes. The last piece to be found in the embers was still burning at half-past ten in the evening. The pieces of flesh and the trunk had taken about four hours to burn. The officers of whom I was one, as also was my son, and a detachment of archers remained in the square until nearly eleven o'clock.
"There were those who made something of the fact that a dog had lain the day before on the grass where the fire had been, had been chased away several times, and had always returned. But it is not difficult to understand that an animal found this place warmer than elsewhere" (quoted in Zevaes, 201-14).

Architecture Old Vs New 
In The Uk 
If a building is a "listed building" then it has to be maintained as much as possible. You can build around or in the structure but you can't alter it. 
In Germany As Well @3816 
There is a term for that kind of protection called 'Denkmalschutz'. 
Listed Buildings UK 
No, that is not quite right. If a building is 'listed' it is not under any kind of preservation order. It simply means that you have to apply for permission to undertake certain works, and that permission may or may not be given.

Listed buildings can be demolished (with approval), which is why unscrupulous owners actually stop maintaining them in the hopes that they fall into such disrepair that demolishion becomes the only viable option.

You will find many ruins in the UK that are listed but they will continue to deteriorate and will eventually collapse simply because the cost of renovating them outweighs the value of the property. There will be no onus to rebuild if it collapses naturally.

You will also find many examples of buildings remaining empty for years only to suddenly suffer instananeous combustion, and miraculously a block of flats appears almost overnight in its place!

These vids provide some great insight into general cosmology and theories like Dyson Spheres/Swarms, faster than light travel and general Fermi Paradox problems.
Megastructures, a possible space elevator, transhumanism, Kardashev-scale civs, colonizing planets, the Drake equation, the Alcubierre drive and wormholes.
Even the Simulation Hypothesis by Nick Bostrom gets a good treatment.

Mindblowing stuff, subsribe now!

Isaac has a weird pronunciation because of a birthdefect(? i think), he cannot pronunciate the "R" as normal people can.

All vids have subs though, it is more easy to follow him this way.

"As I said, human beings are 70+ years into an on-going experiment to see if they can adapt or evolve to handle their weapon's technology. So far, so good. But let's remember that we are a long way from the edge of this tightrope. These might not even be the most powerful weapons we are creative enough to invent. And the systems we have in place still have human beings involved, which is one of those variables that makes it tough to think that we can go another 100, 30 or so years, and have the human story end with the words '...and we lived happily, ever after.'"

After traipsing around umpteen parks and going on every ride I could fit on, and doing it all at least twice each day on 14 day tickets, and taking at least a million photographs, what was where becomes a bit confusing.

All I can say is give the Harry Potter 3D ride a miss if you have just had lunch - I for one will never play Quidditch again!

I was gonna post a double noice in response to #3851 but I felt I really had to log out and use the name field to get the triple noice to really do it justice. 
A Hogwarts Rebuild In Quake Would Be Epic 
It has been done Minecraft, but the main problem would be the floor plan. Aestetics could be ripped from the films. I bet that most of the necessary textures e.g. wood and bricks and stuff like that already exist.

Vertical Gardens 
Imagine... 
... an abandoned underground parking lot as a Quake map. Apart from that idea being a lame setting in a corridor shooter, I think nobody has ever made Quake map with such theme. Anyone know of concrete-, asphalt-, cement-textures for Quake? I found some stockfootage as an example. https://www.pond5.com/stock-footage/53645/underground-parking-lot.html

I wonder why :P

In all seriousness, it doesn't get more boring than a cement room with a few pillars. You could take this concept and make a little more interesting and fun: scale up the pillars like the mines of moria or add tiered platforms strung together with bridges like the ewok village.

I think something like that would be more deserving of your time and energy (and the player's, for that matter). Just my 2 cents. 
If You Want Abandoned Parking Lot 
Go play HL2 EP2. 
 
Kingpin textures would work. You could make it slightly more interesting with liberal use of breakables. I would probably only include it as a section of a map rather than the whole thing.

Also cars are hard to make in quake so that'd be fun. 
@ #3861 
I already figured that rebuilding a parking lot isn't so interesting so adding a surreal touch would be necessary. Maybe some satanic imagery to mark the territory of Quake. Maybe the parking lot is only the aestetic, combined with surreal architechture.

#3867 Hearst Castle Shots 
I've been there a few times and it's so beautiful. These shots are a bit saturated. I don't recall it feeling that blue. But one of the things about this pool is that it is so forbidden. Since this is a museum I would imagine very few people have been able to take a dip. Sort of tragic no one can enjoy it. 
What Shots?

That sandy one really stands out once you notice the tinie red caped dude.

Also the cave is a really awesome idea for a Quake map.
