Help - Texturing the faces of a cloned cube using Multishader

Trying to create a face cutout cube.
I currently have a cube that is 200x200x90 (cm | WxDxH).  I set the cube inside a cloner.  The idea is to have 3 stacked cubes. Each face of the cube would display a different face (forehead, eyes, lips).  I set up my texture to be 800x90.  Long story shhort, the multishader works but I’m getting my texture repeated on each face where as I want it to wrap fully around.

How do I set it up to get a different forehead, eyes, lips on each face.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi flashinstinct,

You need to set up a proper UV for the cubes.

If you build the cubes with a Spline and Extrude, the UV is already done for you.

Let me know if there is any question, I’m happy to look into it.

Cheers

Thanks for the kind feedback, flashinstinct.

Here is a one minute run down of the UV procedure.

Every polygon of the object can have a UV polygon that defines what part of the image appears inside the Object Polygon. In this way, the image is placed onto the object’s surface.

All the best
