Mapping reference gold mine.

[Backslider]

I recently found this, and was tempted to keep it all to myself. There are some real good reference photos for games like Half-Life 2 and maybe CS.

agagaga I used to try and map little scenes based off abandoned-places photos. Some very nice stuff there

Not very useful for direct texture use, but it's definitely very inspiring!

First of all, the guy is one of the best photographers i know. He's made thousands of gorgious pictures and they're so good that i actually once spent a day browsing through them all. While many of the photos won't be useful for level design, many others will be. There are some buildings that are so crazy i wouldn't have thought of making them, but they're real:

Anyway, great website, lovely photos. Also good for when you need a new desktop

I've used this reference sites at work for the past 2 years. Figured you guys would have known about them by now.

great sources for inspiration. love abandoned-places.com. great ref pics .

Oh, by the way, i think if you want good ref pics, the best thing to do is.... get out more. But i fear this might be the wrong place for such a revolutionary piece of advise
