PNG is so nice... and it renders straight out of blender, with alpha, shadow intact, none of that annoying replace shadow with the checkerboard, remove offwhite pixels, etc etc...
After much fiddling around I found redink1's post about PixelFormer being used to make bmp files with Alpha, which is also nice, but unfortunately freedink doesn't support that, maybe YeOldeDink does but I don't have that running.
I've got 24 more png files to manually convert to the old bmp white background with checkboard shadow, off-white pixel removal to do, but that's it. If I ever do any new graphics it is going to only be PNGs with alpha.
Thanks Redink1 for making the shadows sexy - I just read the thread where you were the one coming up with the code to make it so.
