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

Even if you play with the texture coords, the textures on the cube does
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 your own
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.
