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.

the last comment says it all - "Looks nice but I keep expecting someone to pop out and start shooting" :D

Very interesting; for me it serves as a perfect example to demonstrate how using real-world scale always feels too small in games.

Dunno If This Has Been Posted Before...

although this leaves little room for creativity, you have to admire the skill and attention to detail that (good) technical illustrators have.

I love this thread.

Only a few of these can be considered level design related, but all of it is cool:

More Big Machines - CERN

More accelerators and particle collisions: the CERN photo collection

CERN is the European version of Fermilab, featured in Dan Brown's book Angels & Demons. It is also the birthplace of the WWW - yup, the web was invented to do particle physics! Go figure.

Some Skyboxes...

#617 posted by JPL on 2006/11/04 08:34:39

.. I found from a french Quake community website...

ftp://ftp.yi.se/pub/software/equake/addons/equake-skyboxpack-1.1b395.rar

Enjoy !!

Ouch...

#618 posted by JPL on 2006/11/04 12:09:34

I've just opened the equake rar file containing the skyboxes mentionned above (see previous post), and skyboxes are in png format. Furthermore, the end names (i.e _lf, _rt, _bk, _up, _dn, and _ft) are not correct... I'm currently working on thesse files in order to convert all the stuff into .tga format, and also to restore proper end names... I'll post a link with the modified stuff later...

I bet many of these are from Kell. Check his site before you do extra work. ;)

#620 posted by Kell on 2006/11/04 12:44:22

No, none of them are mine. I think a couple of them might be sock's.
The panels are only 256x256, instead of 512 or larger.
Most of them aren't very good either tbh.

Too Late...

#621 posted by JPL on 2006/11/04 12:55:36

.. already done... Nevertheless, I saw, where I found these skyboxes, that Kell's skyboxes are also referenced... I hope it is not coming, or even copyed, from Kell's skyboxes...
Note I didn't verify deeply: I just didn't find any matching names between the 2 sets... ;P
So I apologize a lot in advance if Kell would find something that would be his own work, cause it it is not my intention to stole his talent... ;) .. I only modifed what I found as is on the internet..
Anyway, here is the link (22Mo file !!):

... Anyway, I noticed the size was not correct... and I didn't changed the original size in the above link... I will not perform all the job guys, it's up to you now ;)

Umm

png is a good format... doesn't fitz support it?

The Question Is Do All Engines Support It

#624 posted by Lunaran on 2006/11/05 10:37:39

the answer to that being no. I don't think png support is one of the implied standards.
