This has been taken from "Media Portal Mascot" threadI have used 3DStudio with Vray for the renders.
Try to animate the icons as a test.
If you’re going to try and animate the normal home icons (hover images), sorry but unless there is some code change in the program itself this will not be possible. You are not able to change the file name or extension type.
But you are still able to make animated icons when using basic home as you are able to change/control this information and/or use animated sequence.
