Multiple materials on Cube

Hi,

I would like to have a cube with different materials on each side. This never really was a problem, but now I’ve got this strange thing that only two of the 6 materials are shown on all the sides (1 for the top, bottom, back, front and 1 for the left and right side). I can’t see what I’m doing wrong..

I created a cube with Away3dPhysics:

physics = new Away3DPhysics(view,4) 

Then I create an array with the textures, where dicetexture1 to 10 are Bitmaps.

var diceTextures:Array = [ new BitmapMaterial( new diceTexture1(0,0)),
         new BitmapMaterial( new diceTexture2(0,0)),
         new BitmapMaterial( new diceTexture3(0,0)),
         new BitmapMaterial( new diceTexture5(0,0) ),
         new BitmapMaterial( new diceTexture4(0,0) ),
         new BitmapMaterial( new diceTexture6(0,0)) ] 

Then I create the cube:

dice = physics.createCube({width:diceScale, height:diceScale, depth:diceScale,segmentsW:1, segmentsH:1}); 
 dice.movable=true 

And finally assign the materials.

Cube(Away3dMesh(dice.skin).mesh).cubeMaterials.left = diceTextures[0]
 Cube(Away3dMesh(dice.skin).mesh).cubeMaterials.right = diceTextures[1]
 Cube(Away3dMesh(dice.skin).mesh).cubeMaterials.front = diceTextures[2];
 Cube(Away3dMesh(dice.skin).mesh).cubeMaterials.back = diceTextures[3];
 Cube(Away3dMesh(dice.skin).mesh).cubeMaterials.top = diceTextures[4];
 Cube(Away3dMesh(dice.skin).mesh).cubeMaterials.bottom = diceTextures[5]; 

I can’t see what is going wrong. I should see a different letter on each side, but all I see is the V and the D.

I’m using 3.6.

This must have been done before..?

Seem to remember you cant change the material through cubeMaterialsData once its applied to the face. So doing it that way might not work.

create your materials and cube then add that to a JBox.

eg

var material:BitmapMaterial = new BitmapMaterial(new imgAsset().bitmapData);
var material2:BitmapMaterial = new BitmapMaterial(new imgAsset2().bitmapData);
var material3:BitmapMaterial = new BitmapMaterial(new imgAsset3().bitmapData);
var material4:BitmapMaterial = new BitmapMaterial(new imgAsset4().bitmapData);
var material5:BitmapMaterial = new BitmapMaterial(new imgAsset5().bitmapData);
var material6:BitmapMaterial = new BitmapMaterial(new imgAsset6().bitmapData);

var cube:Cube = new Cube();

var cubeMat:CubeMaterialsData = new CubeMaterialsData();
cubeMat.front = material1
cubeMat.left = material2
cubeMat.right = material3;
cubeMat.back = material4;
cubeMat.top = material5;
cubeMat.bottom = material6;
cube.cubeMaterials = cubeMat

cube.width = cube.height = cube.depth = 500;
scene.addChild(cube);

var jbox:JBox = new JBox(new Away3dMesh(cube), 500, 500, 500);
physics.addBody(jbox); 

may work.

I had a modified cube.as that allowed you to change the cubeMaterialsData but cant find it.
Sorry.

Brilliant! It works! Thank you so much!
