Yes, please publish this. A cube from separate squares would be great for exploding outward/inward too. You could do all sorts of neat decompositions of a solid with this.

If anyone does make a cube from squares please do publish it for others! (perhaps in the gem abstractions folder?)
I made a cube of curve3d objects... Which is certainly not great in terms of performance as a normal cube! I never published it, if there is interest I'll stick it in Gem SVN.

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?

As far as I know the UV thing is as much about the cube as it is the texture? Even if you play with the texture coords, the textures on the cubedoes
not wrap over the edges. This leads me to believe that the cube is actually 6 squares put together. So that is certainly the best thing to recreate, make yourown
cube from Gem squares. As for "uv support" seems a close step would be a gem cube that is designed as a single poly and so that texture coords could be used to move the texture around? I suppose texture project becomes a problem then... I'm just thinking aloud. .b. marius schebella wrote: > Adityo Pratomo wrote: >> and how can i use that uv-mapping? pdp or pidipi or pixeltangomaybe?
