Inspiration & Reference
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.

References 
"A reference is an alias, that is, another name for an already existing variable. A reference, like a pointer, is also implemented by storing the address of an object.
A reference can be thought of as a constant pointer (not to be confused with a pointer to a constant value!) with automatic indirection."
 
 
 
Quite impressive.
Always get a kick in the ass seeing the examples
while hardly obtaining my own.
:P 
Q1 Ranger Action Figure 
Something I wanted for so long, untill my printer broke.
Not sure if it is legal what I'm doing here, as the object is copyrighted.
But it would be fun for a collection after a small polish in a paint editor.

While the actual story is a bit of a blow, the photos do look kinda inspiring...

Reference 
I was wondering about a quake1 level I played over the years. It was called "Io" and was an absurdical large level of a spacecraft that tumbled down on the Mars moon. One had to collect several runes in a spherical astronomy lab.

I thought it was a map of mx or someone else but I can retrieve it only if I make a large jump in my archive. 
Found It 
after a large jump yes, it was called "TitanBeta5 / io" from MechTech and I'm surprised I can't find it on Quaddicted. Realy a top of the hat map, blew me sofar of my feet I would stop mapping.
:P

Large Helical Device 
Ran into this while reading about fusion reactors. Everybody knows tokamaks, right? They're just toruses ie donuts. Many movies have used that shape.

Then there's the stellarator. Wendelstein-7-X is the most famous one, and it's somewhat twisty but still kind of like a Tokamak.

But when I saw the stellarator known as the Japanese Large Helical Device, I thought about the board immediately. It is bizarre.

The color ranges do fit the Q1 palette so much IMO.
Very inspiring.

Check out the video in the comments on how the excavators moved - they actually walked.

(I'm sure this is lifted from some actual source but it's a nice overview.)
