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.

It's a rare individual who can do that sort of thing as a one man show. We produce levels here that look that good on a regular basis, but it's generally a team effort. I do the shell layout, someone meshes it, I go over it again as a second visual pass, an artist adds ambient effects, etc. That's the normal path of progression.

Those shots I posted look amazing but that's not a level yet. It's a screen shot maker.

Great subject matter, but i wish the article was 10x longer and had 10x more pictures... and the pictures should be bigger... and more info about designers and stuff...

Basically i wish the blog format didn't suck so much. But I guess business is business.

Nice find indeed, but I'm still having a hard time believing that all of the other images weren't reverse-engineered from a photo, it's that good.

DP used to include a mod too, which i *suppose* could be run alongside Quoth, but don't know what he's talking about really.

Like his math though ;>
