Different texture for each face of a cube?

Hello everyone!

Can I add different texture for each face or just one face in a cube?

Yes, you can “map” how many textures do you want for your models. Look for “UV Texture Mapping”.

I see tuts about blender, how about programming?

Too, but it’s not recommended as well as it’s just for advanced users. Search the forum something like “uv coordinates programmatically”.

Its the same, just set the texture coords buffer so that the textures map correctly. All done using UV-Maps.

How should I set the coords in case I want to change the top texture only in a cube?

So that they reference the correct part of the texture with the image of the top face. Read about texture coordinates, then it will be clearer. Basically when a vertex has a texture coordinate of (0.5/0.5) then that means at this vertex the middle of the texture should be displayed.
