I was chating with philip on MSN a few mins ago and he gave me this link to his 'theams' page on Planet Philip.

I have just uploaded HEAPS of reference shots that I have taken, along side some of the references that I have found interesting

You can find them at http://www.ammahls.com/random/reference/

Sydney - Ares around Sydney city, inching rooflines, monorail station, coat hanger, and train stations. - Also many clean texture bases such as decals, and walls.

Expect a massive 100+ image update soon.

for something!! YAY!!!


I used to visit an abandoned cement factory that my friends dad was turning into a water park (strange guy lol), now I'm wishing I had some pictures. Walking around that place was like being in a sterotypical computer game, but in real life. There was one room that was deep underground, no lights, flooded with water just below a catwalk. I swear to god I had a flashblack to HL when I first saw it.

I know this thread is old but damn nice pics!

[Something]

Actually, slash that 100+ estimate. I'm definitely going to triple that.

[Something]

Ok, 50 new pictures are up. I'll be posting 50 new ons per day just because I don't want to upload more than that.

But really, I'm going to again increase the amount of pictures I have/will find by another 200, to bring the grand total to 500.

Maybe there should be a reference photo sub forum? That way I don't have to crowd one topic with about 1000 photos.

Some of the pictures are maybe in VALVe's reference gallery too, because I saw one door in those pics and it was exactly same with that one which is in VALVe's materials.. Find out yourself if you don't believe it (Hyp-R's pics and 5th)..

I think it would be cool to have a very strict reference forum, each thread is a different theme (urban, industrial, natural, modern) is just posts full of thumbnail images, with maybe a discussion topic at the top id people want to get chatty.

Thanks very much for these, were stumped for any idea but now i don't know which one to go for!
