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.

... 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.

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.

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?
