Creating a 3D image from imported PNG with transparent background

[MyX'ra]

I am wanting to create 3D image out of an imported file which is nothing but text with a transparent background (I have currently tried png & gif).

My reason for wanting to do it this way is because I have the "perfect" gold lettering available (attached) to me in my Adobe Photoshop program. Regardless of how much I try and how many imported textures, fill colors and tutorials I follow I cannot match the perfection and beauty I can acquire in my Adobe program for this gold lettering. So... I was wanting to import my text produced in Adobe PS, and then turn it into a 3D image of text in Xara. The problem is, that it takes my transparent background and fills it in with white. I've tried erasing it, but it is just replaced all over again when I hit the 3D button (attached).

I've contacted customer support and they were VERY nice, but they were unable to help me after several tries. So, I thought I'd place it on this forum for suggestions I had not considered.

Thank you so VERY much for any attention you can give to this dilemma.
