Hi Daveios,

Images can ONLY be loaded into X3D as [Textures].
Have fun.

like somebody said, you have to load the as textures in the program.

It's basically a two step procedure.
Firstly you need to draw around your image to extract it from its background. To do this you'll need a vector drawing program, Xara Xtreme, CorelDraw, Inkscape (free), Adobe Illustrator Serif DrawPlus 4 (free). This will give you a shape that Xara 3D will recognise. Export it as a .wmf file.
Secondly in Xara 3D you need to import your shape (.wmf file) or paste it from the clipboard if you are using Xara Xtreme. You can now add your .jpg as a texture.
Below are links to 2 tutorials to show you how it's done.
Saludos,
Bob.
