Hi Taffers,
I've been wondering, where all of you FM builders get your inspiration from when making a mission. I usually get mine from photos/artwork, real life locations, and my favorite will have to be from my dreams.
On a side note, there was this topic about Thief location like pictures, but I can't find it anymore, it was a great topic where I got lots of inspiration from, does anyone still know the name of the topic? It was quite popular at the time.
So anyway, where do you get most of your inspiration from?

Yep, that is the one :) Thank you!

I usually get ideas from photos as well. I like going through books of Baroque or Gothic or Romanesque architecture. There's thousands of good ideas in them. Or even just googling something like medieval rooftops and seeing what comes up.
For instance I completely built this for the last contest, but I couldn't properly fit it into the dimensions of the contest with enough room to make the landscape around it:

I did a Google image search for 'unusual cathedral' and found Las Lajas Cathedral, Colombia.

but also playing other games can influence me, for exemple Tomb Raider and Quake games are a Reference to me.
