Clavus Posted March 31, 2010 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
BlueYoshi97 Posted March 31, 2010 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

EmRA Posted March 31, 2010 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
stalker-dude(nl) Posted March 31, 2010 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
