We currently don't have any hard values and the graphics in CVS partly
use different values, which makes them unmixable. Anyway, this thing
might help:

Light comes from the bottom/right and the camera angles is something

One picture with grids of frames is used, having a serie of different
image files is also ok, since one can easily convert that to the other
format.
