i usually just hand a picture of what i want modeled to my trained monkey with a box of crayons. he then makes the PNG's

i have yet to release the chimp rendered objects. they seem to look like bananas on tracks

....

sorry if this did not help.

I render them in 3D Studio MAX in correct size, but with Antialias against background turned off (it's in the preferences). However, the inside of the model is antialiased with a nice Area filter set to the lowest value (render settings). When I have the PNG sequence in true color, I run it through Digital Fusion to increase contrast and do some fine tuning to the colors of the model. The resulting sequence then goes into Photoshop for Loco-palette conversion, which successfuly destroys all of my previous work.

256 colors = 20th century, sorry Chris.

Tis true. Even my old PC could run 32bit colour 2D games.

I enlarge the msts models and use measuring tool to judge the size, and re-size if my eyes dont like it
