Hello Iclone community
I'm a beginner with 3d animation I have iclone 6 latest updated version as well as 3dxchange. 
How do I import .png file once imported can I animate them? Are there any tutorial on how to work with .png data?    

PNG is a 2D image format. iClone 6 is a 3D product which uses 3D meshes for props and characters. You can't import a 2D image and make it an animated prop or character but you can use PNG images for backgrounds or as textures.

If you wish to use images as your source, then you may be better off with CrazyTalk Animator 3. This is a 2D product that allows you to convert standard image formats like PNG into animated characters and props. Please see the product page HERE for more information.

@sw00000p thanks for the reply. My png file is my logo which I would like to use on avatars clothes and tattoos. I was able to drag N drop while holding control & right click. I tried to use the fbx import in 3dxchange but it wouldn't read my .png file. I would still like to see if importing my file threw fbx will give me better results to use my .png file. Once again thanks for taking the time out to read my post and giving me advice.

@Pete thanks for your advice I would like to use my .png on avatars clothes, tattoos, and 3d VFX.

@BigCity,

Do you have Character Creator?  If you do, the "Essentials Pack" for CC unlocks the ability to add images (like tattoos) to your characters.

You can still do it without CC (and the Essentials Pack), and you can also do it on characters not compatible with CC by using a 3rd part image editor to add your tattoos and other images.  GIMP, PhotoShop, etc.  It's just a lot easier and more convenient with CC.
