Horizons: David Bowman Talks On Recent Screenshots

David Bowman gave us some insight into the recent screenshots that have been popping up. He posted these answers over at Horizons Vault.

As a follow up to the screenshots that have begun appearing in various sites I'd like you to know more about how they were captured.

Our artists used two different types of machines to capture the images. Roughly half were captured on 800 MHz Intel boxes with 512 MB of RAM and a GForce 4 mx. The rest of the shots were on a 2.8 GHz Intel box with 1.5 GB of RAM and a GForce 4.

All shots are taken from within the game, in existing locations, connected to a live world. None of the shots contain any post-processing of any sort.

All assets in the shots exist in the game world and players could achieve similar shots with the same machines, video settings, patience, and artistic sense. World Master powers were used in order to set up the necessary cooperative monsters.
