Stuff like this w/o the background...

That one's at 180 frames for a full rotation. But I think I could probably even go to 90 and still pull off something smooth enough...  Would be ok for even smaller renders where it's stuff like 3D knobs and switches and stuff. Something such as 180px X 180px isn't that huge. Flash also seems to do a nice job of compressing raster images even further. BMP sequences in it are smaller than .avi files of the same kind of thing.

Almost got the cropping thing to work through actions in PhotoShop, but not quite:
It'll load each regular render in the sequence, and it saves the image with transparancy, but it stays stuck on the first alpha mask for every single one. So after the first frame, the transparancy is wrong.
