You would have to have a texture prepared for folding over the six sides. In most cases this would involve a larger power of two texture with the cross shaped texture inside it. For something like a movie file this would be impractical. Building this in GEM is the most flexible method.
Ben, I thought you had made an abstraction many years ago to put a texture on each side of a cube? On Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 12:14 PM, B.
