Hi Rebel,
Welcome to TG forums.

Thanks for the guide simsmj. I was hoping I'd be able to use a png or gif with transparency images as my shape. So how can I make my own shapes to use in Xara 3D6? What did you use to make your current avatar?
Hello, D.Realms, welcome to the forum.
The software we tend to use for vectors in this site is one of the Xara applications, the current flagship of the fleet being Xara Designer Pro. Xara3D is a standalone app which takes vector shapes and extrudes them, giving a solid 3-dimensional look. Such solid objects can be given a paint job by importing a texture in the form of a bitmap of some type, like bmp, png, jpeg, etc. The solid objects can be animated, but the shapes making them up cannot be edited in Xara3D itself, except for extrusion depth and type and size of bevels.
Xara3D is unable to use transparency in these textures, but in exporting an image or animation, it can make the background transparent, if the target format itself permits it.
The avatar you refer to, (the spinning hollow earth) is quite a complex construction, definitely not for the faint-hearted! There is a tutorial describing it here.

simsmj I have always been fascinated with your spinning globe. I think that is just awesome.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

if i gave one of you guys an image could you make it spin and maybe clean it up a bit... im working on my company website and really want my logo to spin i think it would look really cool if it could spin in 3d without all the yellow around the actual logo im not sure if you can do this... but from some of the pretty awesome work i saw on here im sure its possible.... i would even be willing to pay
We do not do freebees. Are you willing to pay for this service?
EDIT: I know you have no Xara software. We do not do freebees. Are you willing to pay for this service?
