I don't know whether those are the actual materials the final assets were created from, but they are obviously not straight-out renders (not even taking in account post/matte editing)

If they actually are legit, my guess is the art people generated lower-ish base renders (since this is late nineties and it still takes a ton of time and computer power to do anything), then they upscaled and filtered them up to get an acceptable ratio of non-pixellated-but-smudgy to work on and then edit them to get the final lightning and extra detail right, knowing that it would look OK after scaling them down again for the final resources.
