Drop Shadows and 3D Studio Max

I was wondering if anyone knows how to get 3D Max to render those drop shadows you see in the old 2D RPGs inventories. What I want to do is render out a sword or dagger with a solid black drop shadow under it and the background has to be a perfect magenta colour RGB (255,0,255).

There is also the easy way (I actually used this in a 2D game):
render the objects without shadow, and use a second bitmap for the shadows (you''ll have to use alpha-blending to blend it with the background in real time).

Bye now. Must go and listen to some heavy metal.
