Folks,
Still a newbie here ...

I have 6 images that I would like to apply to the 6 different faces of a
cube.  Is there I way I can achieve that task?

I posted one solution on p.b.scene-files

It uses handcoded mesh and uv's and a composite image for the image map

I suppose you could use csg difference to cut off small amounts of your cube
on each face and put a different texture on each face.

For example:

difference
{
   box{0 1} // no texture needed
   plane{y,0.0001 texture{bottom_face}}
   plane{-y,-0.9999 texture{top_face}}
   plane{x,0.0001 texture{left_face}}
   plane{-x,-0.9999 texture{right_face}}
   plane{z,0.0001 texture{front_face}}
   plane{-z,-0.9999 texture{back_face}}
}

This code has not been tested, but the following has:
difference
{
 box{0 1}
 plane{y,0.0001 texture{pigment{rgb<1,0,0>}}}
 plane{-y,-0.9999 texture{pigment{rgb<0,0,1>}}}
 plane{x,0.0001 texture{pigment{rgb<0,1,0>}}}
 plane{-x,-0.9999 texture{pigment{rgb<1,0,1>}}}
 plane{z,0.0001 texture{pigment{rgb<1,1,0>}}}
 plane{-z,-0.9999 texture{pigment{rgb<0,1,1>}}}
}

Hope this helps!

Wouldnt it be better to combine polygons?

My solution:


#macro BoxTex(A,B, Af,Aw,Ac)
  union {
    polygon { 4
      <A.x,A.y,A.z> <B.x,A.y,A.z>
      <B.x,A.y,B.z> <A.x,A.y,B.z>
      texture { Af rotate x*90 }
    }
    
    polygon { 4
      <A.x,A.y,A.z> <B.x,A.y,A.z>
      <B.x,B.y,A.z> <A.x,B.y,A.z>
      texture { Aw rotate z*90 }
    }
    polygon { 4
      <A.x,A.y,B.z> <B.x,A.y,B.z>
      <B.x,B.y,B.z> <A.x,B.y,B.z>
      texture { Aw rotate z*90 }
    }
    
    polygon { 4
      <A.x,A.y,A.z> <A.x,B.y,A.z>
      <A.x,B.y,B.z> <A.x,A.y,B.z>
      texture { Aw rotate y*90 }
    } 
    polygon { 4
      <B.x,A.y,A.z> <B.x,B.y,A.z>
      <B.x,B.y,B.z> <B.x,A.y,B.z>
      texture { Aw rotate y*90 }
    }
    
    polygon { 4
      <A.x,B.y,A.z> <B.x,B.y,A.z>
      <B.x,B.y,B.z> <A.x,B.y,B.z>
      texture { Ac rotate x*90 }
    //  scale 0.10
    }
  }  
#end

Call it usign two vectors, and three textures - for floor, walls and 
celing.

It is neede to:
  A.x < B.x
  A.y < B.y
  A.z < B.z

btw, povray complains about not closed polygon, how to fix it (just add 5-
th point?)
