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.

Interesting to see that Oz magazine cover. I bought the Oz magazines from issue one. Their covers were always 'of their time'. I sold the whole collection for a lot of money earlier this year.

"Saint-Michel d'Aiguilhe is a chapel in Aiguilhe, near Le Puy-en-Velay, France, built in 962 on a volcanic formation 85 metres (279 ft) high"

Wow

That's like something right from the first Unreal.

Wondering if there chapel is just the tip of the iceberg and there are catacombs going miles deep inside the volcano.

I bet there probably is :}

If that's not the epitome of "omg sum1 needs 2 map dat", I don't know what is.

Speaking of quakeable churches in France, I give you The Black Cathedral (actually it's called Clermont-Ferrand Cathedral)

The reason it looks like some kind of Elder God shrine is because the town of Clermont-Ferrand is surrounded by volcanoes and the entire cathedral is built out of black lava stone.

Ok Thats It

long ago, some heretics decided that cheese fueled mappery. these renegades were most decidedly wrong, but their propaganda lives on

Clearing out an old hard drive I came across these from a quick trip to Barcelona a few years ago.

I reckon that if Gaudi had ever played computer games, Quake would be his number one!
