Hi,

Do we have tool or script to generate Interception image for UFO based on Map file ? Would be nice to have something like this.

What do you mean? Define a UFO for the battlescape and generate an interception screen image from that?

In that case,  think you're out of luck. But what stops you to make a new interception image by stitching together graphics from the available UFOs? You only need to get an approximate shape, the player's imagination will do the rest :)

There are no sprites representing outside view of the hull of UFO, at least noone did that, YET.
You can make presets from the isometric sprites, and from the images of other ufos, and share with people.

Sidethought: I think it might be possible to have these looks rendered automatically, but in this case it should be scalable graphics, i.e. opengl 32bit. And even in this case it doesn't guarantee it will look at least not THAT worse than pre-drawn.
