That's too bad! But on the other hand: no problem at all!

PNG is an "image format", not a "3D format"! So PNG *cannot* have a "texture".

Get a good book about file formats, 3D programming, read the Qt
documenation - educate yourself about the following topics (in any
order):

- 3D file formats
- Texture formats
- File formats
- Affine transformations
- Algebra in general can be helpful as well
- 3D modelling with textures
- Learn a 3D modelling application of your choice (Blender, ...)
- ...

Start here:

Then here:

Continue here:

The grab a good book of your choice about 3D programming in general
and fill your gaps.

Cheers, Oliver

p.s. Or maybe... wait... there was one guy here on the list having
great knowledge about "T-Shirt colour rendering with
hardware-accelerated OpenGL" - maybe you should ask that guy about
"PNG files with textures"... ;) (Sorry, couldn't resist!)
