How do you texture a certain face of an object?

like:

[/code]
make object box 1,10,10,10
[code]

how would I texture just one of the six faces?

A) Only limbs can receive unique texture applications

B) In most professional development studios, one texture contains more than one 'material' which is applied to certain faces using UV mapping.

There is no texture vertex/face command available; it is something you'd have to develop in conjunction with generating texture sheets or cloning limbs

so if I make a mesh of the object or add limbs can I then manipulate the faces?

What I want to do is be able to texture a blank picture frame

I have a screenshot here:
I placed a object in the picture frame so I can texture that particular plane and it works but I dont think it would be effective in the grand scheme of things...

Yes. Just make a new object in which the faces are separate limbs.

You could manually create an X file with different materials, i.e. textures in your case, on each face and import that into DBPro. It will display correctly in DBPro but as far as I know you cannot change the individual textures used.

Alternatively, use Chris Tate's second suggestion.

Why not? Although having the picture object as a separate limb with the frame as another limb would be better.

Thanks Green Gandalf and Chris Tate a bunch

I rebuilt the picture frame which was originally a box and a plane put together and I made it as one object being able to texture the limb which is the actual picture space.

I just figured in a small city with roughly 100 buildings (up to 4 picture frames per room), one object would be better than 2. It also looks better as I don't see the splits or spaces in between the frame and the picture.

That brings the game I'm creating another step forward!!!
