Hi Daveios,
Images can ONLY be loaded into X3D as [Textures].
Have fun.
True love is the ultimate truth
I'm still very confused on the issue.
If i cant upload .jpg's how am i to make any of my files spin?
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.

Thank you, hopefully this will work.
I see your from Granada?
I have an apartment in Fuengirola
If you try to work through the tutorials and get stuck, don't be afraid to ask for help.
Yes, Granada province near the border with Jaen province, in the area known as the Altiplano, 1 hour north of Baza. I shall be holidaying in your neck of the woods for a week in October, at Mijas Costa.
Saludos,
Bob.

I'm very impatient, so i give up. I cant do it, i've looked at the tutorials etc...
So, can someone make the spinning image for me?

Daveios,
Sorry, but no-one will do it for you. If you're not prepared to learn to do it yourself then it can't be all that important to you.
Have a look at the post directly above your last one, from Iamtheblues. At the bottom in the signature line it says "My 2 Spinning Logo Tutorials (.pdf) for beginners are available to download here." Download these instructions (which are very simple) and try again.
Please don't quit. You can do it! Once you understand, you will be glad that you kept trying.
Keith
