Not quite. The shadow is actually a pre-rendered image_map. In the final 
image, it is just rendered as a gray on white texture on a plane, like it 
looks in the white version (no alpha). Then, in Paint Shop Pro, I can put a 
colored layer below the shadow layer, and make the shadow layer of type 
"multiply".

Are you referring to the metal as being light metallic blue and requesting a 
sky blue background, or are you requesting a gradient from light metallic 
blue to sky blue? Also, I'm not quite sure if you were joking or not. :P 
Well anyway, here's sky blue. (I don't like it.)
