Copio e incollo una proposta, scusate se è in inglese:
Lo scopo è semplificare la creazione di clips objects nel Layout, automatizzando la creazione di un piano cippato e targettato a partire da un'immagine (32 bit con alpha incluso o 24 bit + alpha separato.
Dovrebbe essere molto semplice da realizzare con Lscript, essendo una semplice sequenza di azioni standard.

This tools should have a panel with:
- an Image Loading menu;
- Y dimension for the plane (X dimension would be locked according to bitmap proportions);
- Targeting options (to which item, with H and P checkboxes to activate them separately)
- Mapping options, based on planar or UV mapping. Maybe the plugin could use a starting object already stored on the HD, and only rescale, rename surface and mapping properties)
- surface Options, to modify Material Channels properties and activate Doubleside.
- Clipping Options to choose the clip image (another file or an instance of the first with Alpha only)

Additional:

- Would be nice having a batch option to load an entire directory of images and make all objects automatically (useful for 2D trees, people and so on), saving them with a prefix.
- useful to get a scene file saved out of the script. The scene could contain also a clone of the object, unseen by camera but with cast shadows on (in this case all shadowing options should be disabled from the main object) and targeted to a light in order to get proper shadows on the floor despite of sun/camera positions.
