Back Dave, This is what I do when I'm stumped in a situation like that (for me it was uniforms) My suggestion: Dont look at architecture to inspire architecture Maybe check out dome sites on say... microbes and using electron microscopes... there are some unique materials out there that boggles the mind, maybe you might come across a fungi or microbe or something that will inspire a shape. Sometimes it works! ~~Richard K~~

I am currently working on a my longest WIP ever (yes...we are talking years here). It is a sci-fi architecture scene and I am about 80% done.
I am a bit stuck for some sci-fi spire type of architecture...preferrably with a walkway between towers....effectively I have been doodling with 3D shapes for some time now, but nothing has yet to "click"....so I would say that I am stuck and in need of inspiration. Does anyone have any good links to any web-sites that focus purely on sci-fi architecture.....something unique and not just a re-tread of past Sci-fi movies would be preferred (I have been to the "sci-fi 3d" site). Thanks, Dave Angelini
