Yeah I have an unwrapped cube, I’m having problems with the materials/textures part. I’ve been watching YouTube all day, and still haven’t found one that I can follow along with to get the desired results. The people assume you’re familiar with the app and go so fast that it’s hard to follow along. Btw, this is my first experience with blender.

Thought so. Blender is a real beast when you use it for the first time. Remembering everything is even worse if you don't do that every day.

You already have the UV map? Good. Now you only need one or more materials and 'paint' them onto the sides of your cube. Wait, I take a screenshot to get you started.

I tried adding/assigning a material and texture, and it appears on the sphere thing, but not on the iv map or the cube.

Make a new texture, then scroll down to 'Image' and open the texture file or video. Then you can simply drag it over to your cube. Set the 3D window to 'render' and the object will appear in the texture. My problem now is to apply the texture only to one side. Up to now all sides get the texture. There probably is a more selective way to do this, but I don't know it right now.

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013It's easy, once you know what to do. Go to the 'Material' menu (its one tab to the left of the texture menu). Make six new materials, select each of them one at a time, go over to the the texture menu and assign one new texture (image or video) to it. The texture must be checked in the list and should appear in the preview below. Go back to the material menu. When you select one in the list, it should also be previewed with the selected texture. Now go to the 3D window, set it to edit mode and select the faces of one of the sides of the cube. Then select a material in the and click the 'Assign' button right below the list. Do this for all sides of your cube and you are done*. * Set the 3D editor window to 'Render' instead of 'Solid' or simply press F12 to see the textures on the cube. And now it's time for bed! The boss will shoot me if I tell him that I had to texture a cube before catching some sleep.

Does anyone here have Blender experience? To be clear, I'm talking about the software, as opposed to the kitchen appliance.

I'm having a helluva time trying to get a video and images on all sides of a cube... It's got to be the worst, most confusing user interface I've ever seen...

It's much better than it used to be. In the original versions, the creators went out of their way to make it non-Windows-ish. Almost nothing worked the way almost everything else in the software world did.

Oh. You mean you can't handle that every key on the keyboard does at least 4 different things depending on which mode you're in? :laugh:

It sounded delicious. Baked apples, I assume?

How about three different menu bars, multiple buttons that have the same freakin icon, right-click to select items (you can invert that in the interface options) space bar to call up the context menu (that isn't really a context menu) that doesn't have corollary items in the main menu bar... I could go on, but at some point my brain shuts down and refuses to accept any of it.

I don't have an Apple, so no, not interested in that.

I think I'm gonna back off of Blender and try using Natron. It's just a compositor, but I think that's going to be good enough for not. Ultimately, I'd like to build (or find a blender guy to build) a 3d version of the turkeymonkey avatar I use here, maybe with flapping wings, so I can composite that into my intro...
