Help making a images a bit more 3D

I've been messing around with Xara designer Pro and Xara 3D6. I like the way my images have been coming out but I was wondering if there is a way to make them a bit more 3D. I'm not sure if I've reached the limit that this software has to offer but would like to get some feedback from those with a bit more experience than I.
Also if I have reached the softwares limits I would greatly appreciate some advise on what would be the next software to purchase. For the most part I use the software to add some effect to an image/render. I was looking for other software that might do the same but with a few extra features. I like that I could use an image and personalize it.

What you might want to do is use two or more images extruding each as necessary then aligning them where you want. One way of doing this is using sizing pixels.
