Is there documentation on the card object setup?

It works now, after tweaking around. One thing I've found I needed to do is select Use Ray Tracing for Objects in the Render settings.

Another important thing is taking the PNG and putting it in the Opacity with Alpha set.  This Opacity then acts as the ALPHA to block outside of the main image.

I usually use a tif + alpha channel instead of a png. Anyone knows what the benefits are of one against the other? I only saw that a tif (LZW compression) is smaller as a file.

A simple search for "Card" in the Wiki goes directly to here:
