PNG are so much larger than JPGs, so I think PNGs won't be
feasible.....I got an item database with almost 10k items....most with
own mesh in male / female version. The 3ds File is almost 100k each
and the JPG texture 100k again...a PNG would be like 500k I guess.
Any idea what could be done otherwise?
So is there no transparent color-keying at this moment?
Do you think it would be hard to say to the renderer that he should
omit drawing a pixel if it's of a certain color?
