If any of you guys have seen the 1984 David Lynch movie "Dune" which was based on Frank Herbert's novel of the same name you will understand that some of the visuals in the movie were absolutely incredible. I just wish that the movie tranlsation from the book was equally as stunning.... :rolleyes:

 

Anyway, the design of everything in that world was great. There was a group of good guys (clan Atreides), a group of bad guys (House Harkonnen), and in between were people like the Mapes, the Navigators and the Bene Gesserit witches. So, many different factions, like in Thief.

 

I thought that maybe some of the costume and set designs (especially from the palace interiors) might be helpful or fit the style. Strangely enough, I was researching some of the info on the movie and came across some stills that I hadn't seen in many years. They had that strange futuristic medieval feel that the Thief universe seems to have.

 

Here's at least one link...

Had dune 1, and 2000.

 

I really didn't like either film, Lynch's strayed too far from many of the things which made the book great (partially because he had to cut it from it's original 6-hour version), and the sci-fi channel's was, well, bad (much like most sci-fi channel movies :lol: )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!
