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.

I got a nice edition of Paolo Soleri's _Arcology_ as a birthday present, and I've been posting sample pics on twitter. Arranged in proper chronology here:

https://storify.com/joel_k_baxter/snippets-from-paolo-soleri-s-arcology

One problem with Storify is that it crops images, and also doesn't show all the images from a multi-image post. So you'll need to click on each pic.twitter.com link to see the full things.

(Unless there's a way to make Storify behave better w.r.t. that? I dunno, first time I've tried it.)

Twitter compresses the heck out of the images, so if you'd like to see the full-sized originals, they'll be available for a while at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11690738/temp/arcology.zip

Just some quick photos from a handheld camera though, so don't expect too much in the way of framing, lighting, focus, etc. :-) (Also please don't share that link outside of this forum.)

Clearly these are blueprints from a Tronyn map.

Yes we've finally found the source he's been cribbing from all these years.

The trick with Twitter is manual URL editing:

https://twitter.com/joel_k_baxter/status/552323541631520768
->
click image
->
copy image URL
->
change large to orig
->
