I think Frandall said a LONG time ago that the sprites were angled at 80 degrees.
(Note: he didn't directly say this, somebody commented that this would probably be the case, and Frandall said "Give the man a gold star.")

1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9 - 1/11... = pi/4.

Not quite. You make a 3D model, then use your 3D program to rotate the model clockwise. Then you save exactly one rotation to a movie with exactly 36 frames. For example you can tell the 3D program to rotate the ship once in 2 seconds and then save a movie at 18 fps, or rotate it in 3 seconds and save at 12 fps. Then you take the movie and drop in onto m2s, and it will make the EV sprite PICT and mask PICT for you ready to go into the plugin.

Have fun

You can do that in picts2sprites. You open it up, ansd select single image, rotate. It can accept any file as long as it's a pict. Now that isn't as good a quality as if you do all 36, but it does do it. Plus the m2s is better overall.
