Cryo's Dune as inspiration for some C&C visuals?

Recommended Posts

I think it's no secret that the spice harvester graphics on the global map in Cryo's Dune looks very much like the Tiberium Harvester from Command & Conquer. This is not the best shot of the harvester image in Dune but a good screenshot is hard to find:

I've never given a thought to whether it was a coincidence or not, but taking into account the fact that Cryo's Dune is a game that had played a role in the history of Westwood Studios, I wonder if this is not impossible that Westwood guys have "borrowed" the visuals from Dune (after all, IIRC Frank Klepacki was in part inspired by Stephane Picq's and Philip Ulrich's Spice Opera while composing music for Dune II).

 

Also, I think that the shape of the Arrakeen palace resembles the Triberium Refinery somewhat:
