[Resource] Architectural References

[Crash]

I just took a trip to Boston (for PAX East) via train and made a pass through Chicago, which has, I found, some awesome industrial buildings that fit the TF2 style. Just wanted to share my new reference shots.

These are awesome, Crash. That first one looks just like a BLU base.

I love the angles on that second building. I am definitely incorporating something from that building in the future.

Full album in the link in case anyone missed it.

You should look at the art style "Precisionism" pretty awesome stuff there.

I've taken a few the past couple years when the wife and I are travelling, I stash them in a 'game concept' folder for future use. I actually started a tf2 map based on some of these a couple years back, but never went anywhere with it.

Some are from Montana, others around where I live, and a few are from work.













Few extra here, didn't feel like spamming the whole album:

I wish i had a camera when i was on my mission trip to Chattanooga, Chattanooga is known for its industry and trains. :/

Citation needed for ALL of these pictures as I think I've already seen them in TF2 Pyroland - or maybe I'm just been wearing my mask for too long :-)

Also this group on flickr may help, the architecture of these buildings are similar to tf2. Grain Elevators!
