Clavus Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Every professional mapper uses reference pictures for their creations. It'd be nice if we had a topic where we can throw together all kinds of pictures of buildings, geometry, landscapes, hallways, etc. that we like. Quote Link to comment
Chuusto Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Nice, I liked your pictures Quote Link to comment
BlueYoshi97 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I am only joking. I mean I don't use any buildings/landscapes to base my maps on. I take all my inspirations on many different things. Usually Paper Mario. Plus my own imagination. Which is worse. When I ever do find the needs to search for aid outside my fantasy, this building I have seen in real life (Malmö, Sweden) is simply the best building ever.Oh, and... I will always remember that this was the first thing I saw when I set foot in Sweden: Quote Link to comment

I do not mean to make fun of Belgium's outstanding national historic symbol for mass-peeing on train tracks, at least that's what I've seen Flemish people do. Quote Link to comment
EmRA Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I like slums.High buildings, such as towers and scyscrapers..High buildings are awesome especially in post-apocalyptic places.In general, big buildings with fuckloads of work put on them are awesome, too bad those are mainly in fiction. Also, I think it's good thing to point this out as I see that alot of maps are done nice and clean 90degree stuff.Buildings don't go like that, they do neat curves and shit. :U Quote Link to comment
stalker-dude(nl) Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Most of the stuf I came up with was more straight out of my mind, but the map I'm working on now is from an older game and I'm basicly copeing it too the Half-life/counterstrike engine. The game i'm using is Thief 2 and the Mission(map) is 'Casing the joint'.Here's a video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLTTGrVsRQ4 Quote Link to comment
