Hi Marco,

I actually looked into that when you mentioned a month or so ago, but unfortunately I found that it is not a simple matter to incorporate that into MoI's current viewport display engine. Curve drawing is the part that makes it difficult - the display engine is expecting to blend the curves against a colored background and it's problematic for curves to write alpha values.

It's more straightforward with something that draws shaded polygons and not curves, and you can get that type of image out of MoI currently by exporting to .ai format, if you turn on the Shaded background image option a companion PNG file will be generated along with the .ai file.
