Adding Materials To Each Face Of A Cube?

[cr8igster]

Is it possible to make each side of a cube a different colour. I have tried to achieve this but i can only get one colour to cover the cube.

Replies Appreciated.

Thanks...

go into the AM and assign different surface groups to each side. Select the Faces in the AM, in the surface group selection click group selection. give it a new name. Do the same for each side then apply the material accordingly....that should do it. let me know how it goes.

Where about is the AM? I have version 3. Does version 3 include AM or is it only a function of version 4.

3 doesnt have AM. You can just use planes or create a single texture using your 6 and convert it to the appropriate spherical to be applied that way and have it appropriately affect all sides (Im sure there are coverters out there that do this; i know of none off hand)

Version 4 is about a million times better than 3. Especially for this kinda thing. You should consider upgrading.
