My christmas present (15 thousand SW reference pics) all up!

Post by DarthD.U.C.K. »

Firt Id like to apologize for not being around much anymore. I was pretty busy and began studying this fall and moved to another city were i dont have internte connection yet...
anyway, i decided to upload my references and hope they are usefull for someone. even though swbf2 modding istn that huge anymore i hope people keep and share them so they can be used for the next large sw mods or even the next modable star wars game.
especially for the game references i focused on finding images that arent uploaded on wookiepedia or pop up on the first page of google image search.

its gonna take a pretty long time to upload so i split the references in 15 individual archives with a size of 150 to 200mb.

here are a few game art examples:
Hidden/Spoiler:
Image
Episode III game crab droid - Allen Kerry
Image
TFU Rogue Shadow concept - Chin Ko
Image
TFU unfinished coruscant streets - Mirena Rhee
Image
Kinect Utapau sinkhole- Hugo Beyer
Image
Galaxies 2 Sebulba - Bill Daly
Image
Galactic Battlegrounds heavy trooper
Image
Galaxies Stardestroyer - Jason Minor
if you dont want to download the archives individually
Here is the folder that will contain all archives

Games
promotional screenshots, concept art, wallpaper and renders plus pieces from artists portfolio sites in folders with the artists name. Some portfolio sites are extremely hard to find and some have gone offline since ive gotten the references. i focused more on some games like rc, tfu and ep III
credits go to the developers and incredible artists
Part 1:
Part 2:
Part 3:
Part 4:
Galaxies
Galaxies
Galaxies Memory Book (hosted by Matt NZ from SOE forums)

Part 5:
Part 6
Part 7
The Force Unleashed
The Force Unleashed
Part 8

Movies
sorted by movie and location and/or character. contains 99% promotional and behind-the-scenes shots of all sets and characters you can and cant imagine.
credits go to multiple sites listed in the readme
Part 1 - Episode I and A new Hope
Part 2 - Episode II and The Empire strikes back
Part 3 - Episode III and The return of the Jedi

Concept Art
sorted by classic/prequel movies and artist, ryan church and ralph mcquarries art is also sorted by movie and location.
i had to remove a lot of great mcquarries art because it came from the "Ultimate Star Wars Screenthemes Collection" whose wallpapers come frome a site where you have to pay for them and i didnt want the archive to be taken down becaus of copyright claims..
credits go the the artitsts
Part 1 Episode I - III, 26 artists
Part 2 - A new Hope - The return of the Jedi, 10 artists plus storyboards from all movies

If you know a site with images that arent included or with better quality, please tell me!

i hope some people find these usefull and as inspirational as i do :D
i would love to see this collection mentioned in some cool sw mod in the next months/years but you dont have to since all i did was collecting and sorting the images.

OMG, wow!

Just in time. I'm about to lose internet connectivity for a while and was going to use the time to learn how to model instead of just hacking meshes together.

You have given me direction.

This must have taken a long time to compile. I'm sure folks will be using this for years to come.

Thank you, DarthD.U.C.K.

thanks! im glad to hear you like it.

i collected most of the references this years spring and summer. finding artitst portfolios was the most time consuming part but i think the results are worth it. :D
the movie images were pretty easy to find but sorting took a long time. i got them from several large collections on websites where they sometimes werent even ordered by movie.

@tirpider: yeah, many of the pieces are really inspiring and you can nicely see the distinct art directions of the games.

the uploading is taking longer than i expected, getting everything up may take till the end of the year...

Simply, wow. This archive really is intensive. My favorite is seeing the work on Battlefront 3, just to fulfill little "what if" thoughts I've had. This must have taken a long time to gather, well done.

Assuming it has mod tools and/or it is better than SWBF2 and/or it's worth learning to mod, then yes I'd mod it. But I don't know if I'll be modding in 2034...

Who knows if I'll ever use this as reference material for modding, but I'm looking forward to just browsing through everything! Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this!
