game.
as i would like to do a detailed game like that of monkey island 3.

ive my scene in 1024x768.
just using the default Character and he looks like a ant compared to my scene

all help is much appreciated

Draw a room with a door. The size you're looking for is 90% of the door height.
Asked and answered multiple times, and isn't a technical question.

This is usually done using a green screen, but I guess any color is fine as long as you're not wearing it.
You won't be able to import the result directly into AGS, but you can open it in Photoshop and using the magic wand and a suitable tolerance value, you can replace all the wall parts in the photo with a single color.
And then, yes, AGS will turn that transparent.
