How do I add another texture to the dark sides of this cube other than the one on the front of it?

That depends on if you just used a cube primative or a spline or vertex object.  I try and stay away from primatives.  For something like this I just use a simple spline object so I have different shading domains.  Each domain can have a different texture, or you can use one master texture for all of the domains.

Should not Primatives or whatever  be fine?

For the top item on the shader tree sellect Projection Mapping>Flat Mapping
(Refer the Help Manual)

(Or am I missing something?--again!)

Ok, I'm using a primitive in this example but I guess I'm not too familiar with adding textures to more than one side of an object, I did use the flat mapping to do the front of the cube as seen in the picture, but I just couldn't get the top and sides. Exactly what are the steps to be taken in order to achieve this? I'll try and see if I can do it with a vertex object as well.

Is this one selected?

Also if the cube is created in the modeling room instead of the primitives from the assemble room, you may have more than one shading domain.


Oh, wait a sec. You want different textures on each side.

You could use a modeling room cube and go by shader domains. Or... You could go to set the top shader to complex>layers list or multi-channel mixer. Then in the additional layers, set the flat mapping to pick different faces for each texture set.

No.
You just use the Flat Mapping and apply a different shader to each side!

Simple

Oh, I see. Didn't realize flat mapping was a top shader option. Still, even with that you have to add a flat-mapping channel to each subset on the tree.

Layers list works just the same though. I don't think there really is a right or wrong way, as long as the end result is what you're wanting.
