Thanks Plutom, that was the missing link.  I was using the wrong method of texturning the cube.

So why am I going through this excercise? I want to build on this idea and make a cool effect of some sort.

Maybe instead of a still image, using a video and projecting the samem video on all sides of the cube.

Or Multiple videos, each video shown on each side of the cube face.

And while this is all happening, maybe have the cube rotate in all axis. :)

I appreciate the guidance from everyone on this thread, and I'm going to build on this in this same thread.
