[Robster881]

Maybe there should be a compition where people have to make the best version of one of these pics as they can, then show screen shots along with the original picture.

I find the best reference photos come from google searches for "urban exploration". Of course there are countless websites on the topic, and most of the best ones are from eastern europe. Russia and its satellite states are great for urban decay.

Here's a good example with lots of shots from mines, quarries, underground tunnels, etc:

Great reference. Thinking of creating something like this:

Just wondering, what would be the best way to create the pipes. Should I import them from XSI or use hammer? Thanks in advance,

Here are a few I took myself.
I had them in a previous thread. But it somewhat died.

I've got a question for the admin:

Can you take out most of the posts that are just comments and make this a "Reference Pictures" topic? That way, people can submit their own reference pictures.

While waiting for a map to compile I made some templates for Something's pics, now you can view them all from a webpage.
