This plugin which was originally posted in thread

http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323%26amp;t=44439%26amp;hilit=+Image

It has been modified to be compatible with SU2014.

When you execute the plugin, The Open panel will allow you to select the source folder for the images. Next, the Save panel will allow you to select the destination folder for the models. An inputbox will let you choose whether the image is to be "stood up" and the width for the images. Since this is a "batch" process these options will be applied to all images in the source folder.

Please get the latest version from the PluginStore http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Image2Model

Unable to generate a transparent background

Needs a PNG that has a transparent alpha channel and pixels assigned to that ?
Please explain yourself differently or more clearly so we can understand your issue better...

Yes me too ! - no transparant background so shadows all square.

Even if a PNG Image is transparent the shadow is ALWAYS a rectangle !

To have a cutout shadow you need to make a cutout Component made from an Image.

See my ImageTrimmer tool [comes with SKMtools]

OR do it longhand by editing the outline...

ImageTrimmer works on PNG Images with a transparent background...
It then offers the chance to convert it into a JPG texture, because that will receive shadows unlike a PNG based textured material
