X3M Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 This is something that I have found just recently. It looks like a in game screen shot to me. The resolution is 400 x 300. So it looks old. Rather than speculating from which Dune game it came from. Could it be that this has been done by Westwood themselves before they created Dune2000? The textures seem familiar yet "new". Of course it is just speculating. The screen shot is taken from a website that doesn't exist any more. So no reconfirmation. Let me ask you guys, has any one seen this screen shot before? It is the only one that I have found so far. It is only sand terrain and spice. No other terrain or units. Looking for more screen shots like this one might help. Edit: after looking at it in this forum, it seems that this looks a lot like Dune2. Yet the placement is weird. And if you zoom in, the texture is rather different then that of Dune2.

athanasios Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 It is photoshopped for sure. The same pixels of the terrain tile have different values in different areas of the image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Kinda looks like the sand pattern of Dune II, but the splotches of orange over it are definitely photoshopped. No Dune games have such smooth all-encompassing spice-fields that aren't tiled themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X3M Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 If this is photoshopped, perhaps it can be reproduces in some way.If it is really some textures from Dune2. Who knows what they where planning.Can someone toy around with photoshop to see if this is reproducable?The picture is dated from januari 1997. That is 5 years after Dune2. I don't know how much before Dune2000.The number of "repeating" textures seems to be around 54 x 40? Yet cut of at some point.It reminds me of how SC has been build up. 1 pixel is a location.

Nyerguds Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 What who were planning? Most likely this picture is totally unrelated to Westwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athanasios Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Maybe yet another clone. And tineye doesn't help either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
