Ive been trying to apply a texture with a transparent window to four sides of a cube (not top and bottom).If I apply to the front face only it also shows up strangely on one adjacent face also.Ive tried adding faces in different ways to the same meshbuilder with no luck and odd results.Maybe Im trying to do something you cant do with a cube,and I have to build it the long way.In short,I need to know the "rules" of applying texture to the faces of a cube or cylinder.

RE: Apply texture to cube
You have to use simmetrical textures becouse the last face has to match with the first one.
Upper and lower portions of the texture bitmap have to be plain color.
(I think that it's not convenient to use a texture with a cube, but its simplier draw needed faces with the Meshbuilder or CreateMeshbuilder).
Anyway for the cylinder it's probably useful for you to have a look at an example being in my Italian Bve object guide:
the object is named TORRE1.CSV and is inside the zip.
The guide can be downloaded at this link:
If I save time on next August I'll translate the guide in English.

RE: Apply texture to cube
It sounds like bitmapping on a cube is very restricted as to what you can do.When I applied the map to the front face it also appeared on the right hand face but in a distorted way;maybe because that face has to match the front face, but because it wasnt symmetrical it was also distorted.Is that kind what you mean?
Ill get back to your guide.Ive used the examples to learn from and translated small parts by pasting into babelfish.Thanks

Oh Thank You Thank You!
Favolosos! Dio Ti Benedica!
I have been tring to do that with a Dictionary and software and hand held Translator. It hard especially since I don't speak nor even taken Italian nor do I have MS Word.
If anyone has not seen it check it out it is over 30 pages long with pictures to match it's a great piece of work

RE: Apply texture to cube
When I wrote the guide (during last August - this is the only period I have more time during nights) I wrote it using Word becouse this was the fastest way to do it for me.
Well, this had been my worst error: I've tried to convert the Word file both in pdf and html, to allow it being translated from Altavista or Systrans, but html and pdf automatically saved are too big for translators.
So it's necesary to do it by hand and it takes to me a lot of time, mostly becouse my English is much poor and I have often to put hands on a vocabulary...
Sorry...
