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.

Contemporary thai artist making his own bhuddist temple after his own design. Apparently there's another artist that's answering with a black temple in the same city but haven't seen any of that.

Shipbreaking

The shipbreaking yards of Chittagong, Bangledesh. We've seen a few photos of them in this thread before, but I never knew the name of the place they came from. Apparently half of the tankers in the world are dismantled on this beach:

And this doesn't have anything to do with shipbreaking, but it came up in the search:

Also, this guy took some of the above pictures, check out his website for more cool photos at a lower resolution:

Stuff From Berlin

The spiky thing is something in the Viktoriapark between Berlin-Kreuzberg and Berlin-Sch�neberg. I think it looks pretty cool, maybe you like it too.

The red building is the Zitadelle Spandau, a citadel in Berlin-Spandau. Had a rather boring visit there but I thought I could make some photographs for you mappers. :)

heh, that spiky thing looks a lot like one quake concept sketch i did a couple of years ago. :)
wasn't supposed to become a church/monument, though.

uploading photos from Cambodia atm, I'm really tired and the connection is pretty slow now so I probably will stop in the middle of the process and continue some other day.

Hmm

#489 posted by bear on 2006/04/05 09:03:45

Seems like there will only be material taken before going to Angkor today.
