First thing to find out was the angle per pixel scale, and for that we used simple trigonometry.
Notch has once said that a tree in Wurm is approximately 12m high. Reading the distance to the nearest tree was no problem - it's just a matter of counting tiles and using simple trigonometrypythagoras.<br>

Then we had to find the exact rotation center and distance to the horizon in pixels (to calculate the angle). To find the horizon we simply used the same distance in pixels from a top of a distant mountain as on the photo above (photo aboce was taken looking directly west with eyes aligned on the horizon).<br>
