This page contains images made by DreamWorks Interactive during the development phase of the game. Most of the images are from pre-release versions of the game, while others are from possibly test and showcase levels. Some images were made specifically for the marketing team.
The images were made in 3D Studio MAX (3ds Max), a 3D modelling program that was used to build the levels, GUInterface (known as GUIApp), a tool developed by DWI to convert and test the engine and the level files (along with created assets) and the game itself. Some might even be Photoshopped.
The images are listed by (known) level and the levels are ordered as they will or would appear in-game. Naming has been changed to include level name, as well as the original filename (if present). Oldest or official name will be used if known. An example:
“BEPreRelease002-beachhead_02” = “LEVEL-ORGINAL FILENAME”
Earlier images, which appears to be either from test levels or marketing scenes are sorted based on if they might be the same area.
Images will over time be linked to their own sub-page (aka attachment page), and will contain known information about the image, like author, where it came from and/or the purpose of the image. From there you can save the image in full size.
Another important thing to note is that the dinosaurs in many images were static models and not actually working AI. This can be seen in several images where they use the same dinosaur and position. There are also cases where Anne’s hand, as well as dinosaurs were edited into a screenshot.
If you think you have an image that’s not on this page then send it to us: paul@trescom.org.

Pond Trailer
Early IJ Concept
These images are generally considered to be part of a very early version of IJ due to their use of IJ objects.
Next Generation Concept
These images first appeared in a 1997 Next Generation pre-view article. It is possible this level was created specifically for this article it is the only known article showing several images from it. The image of the Dam is actually from this level based on the light objects used as well as being present (but hidden) on the disc that came with this magazine issue.

If you think you recognize the location of the images below as of a place in the demo/retail then mail us. We’d be glad to solve some more mysteries related to the lost levels of Trespasser. Maybe you can also take a screenshot in the game (by pressing the “Print Screen” key), preferably with the LOC (see cheats-section) cheat enabled, and send the image to: paul@trescom.org or post about it on our forum.
