where the hell did that come from? but, unless you want to pay more than $3000 for the full retail version, i'm sure you can pirate it from kazaa or some filesharing app

If you're looking to do a few static sprites, I made a Photoshop macro that will automatically create a shadow. However it doesn't know where the depth dot of the sprite is, so you have to manually place it, which is not very good for animated sequences.
