You can't directly make a png image 3D.

For your poker chip for example you would make a BMP file that is black and white, where the black part would be the shape of the poker chip. Round in this case. That can be done in a program like photoshop.

Then you convert it to an eps file. Google for "bmp 2 eps". Then you open the eps file in BT where you'll get a 3D white, blank, round shape.

Then you apply the original PNG file as a texture onto the eps image. That's how you create a 3D poker chip.

So do I just draw a black circle on a white background in photoshop and then save it as a bmp, and then bring it over too bmp 2 eps and export it? I tried that but it creates just the black outline as a eps image.

You can just draw a circle if you like and then fit the texture to the circle in BT. I generally use the actual shape because sometimes it won't be a simple as a circle. It could be an object of any shape.

That way the texture is a closer fit and requires less tweaking when you add the texture.

The eps file, when opened in BT, should be white or close to it. And the outline should be the shape of the black portion of the BMP file.

A poker chip is like a coin, right?

The picture layer offers some basic shapes including a circle.

Select CIRCLE in the 1st dropdown below the textbox.

You can make it 3D by selecting SOLID or ROUND BEVEL in the 3th dropdown.
