Awesome job at gathering those inspirational images!! Would be nice if you could add where they are from (movie,game, portfolio) for those who are interested. (Especially the movie stills/concepts).

I posted a link to an album of Mapping inspirations a while back. It's mainly industrial shots rather than space, but it may provide some inspiration too.

hey some of those are pretty nice aswell thanks for contributing them, i am not a very talented mapper but i would love to see some maps in the future that look a bit different to the scheme of mining and factory like tram or the others, something maybe even civilian that kaharaa attacked a civilian outpost, but in general i would love to see some brighter maps from the tone and the light! and i still think that the atmopshere could be great with some dark maintanance spots on such a map!!
your welcome peregrinus! nice to hear that some brighter maps are on the way! i would love if the community would offer more inspiring things here and if this thread could go sticky!
This thread is fantastic. The artwork you've given should help a lot of mapper. I don't know a sh*t about mapping but I hope someone use them to make different map than Factory style.
- Spacecraft - Techno/Future city (abandonned or not) - Snowy Mountain (Hoth ?) - Moon research center
Lot of map with window to landscape, city or space, and if you shut down the power there's a metal wall deploying on the other side of the window (Star Wars III style), or just the darkness of the space/night
More claustrophobic map ^^

Hmm, I overlooked this post the first few times I went through this thread. That's a pile of inspiration right there. Thanks for throwing that together soul_rider.

Most of the maps are for "marines defending their base, Kharaa's attacking" scenario with mostly metal and grey colors used plus some additional accents. It'd be great to see some maps for "Kharaa's defending their base" scenario. The video is of very bad quality but take a look at the corridors of the Talyn ship (Farscape series) that with some modifications could be used (start at 20:35):

Total Recall brings get memories and I would like to also see outdoor maps like Mars landing and the Space shuttle would be interesting too.
