How can I use multiple Textures in Graphics3D

I am creating a Graphics3D object for a box using 6 Polygons (1 per side). I can use one single Texture on one or more sides but I can not find a way to use different Textures for different sides of the box. Is there any way to achieve this?

Answer

You can set Texture before each polygon

t = ImageResize[ExampleData@#, {100, 100}] & /@ 
   ExampleData["ColorTexture"][[;; 6]];

vtc = {{0, 0}, {1, 0}, {1, 1}, {0, 1}};
coords = {{{0, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0}, {1, 1, 0}, {1, 0, 0}}, {{0, 0, 
     0}, {1, 0, 0}, {1, 0, 1}, {0, 0, 1}}, {{1, 0, 0}, {1, 1, 0}, {1, 
     1, 1}, {1, 0, 1}}, {{1, 1, 0}, {0, 1, 0}, {0, 1, 1}, {1, 1, 
     1}}, {{0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 1}, {0, 1, 1}}, {{1, 0, 
     1}, {1, 1, 1}, {0, 1, 1}, {0, 0, 1}}};


Graphics3D[{Table[{Texture@t[[i]], 
     Polygon[coords[[i]], VertexTextureCoordinates -> vtc]}, {i, 6}]}]

Or you can use one texture with proper texture coordinates like in cube maps

enter image description here

cubemap = ImageResize[#, Scaled[0.5]] &@ Import@"http://i.stack.imgur.com/hSCfz.jpg";

vtccm = {{##}, {# + 1, #2}, {# + 1, #2 + 1}, {#, #2 + 1}} & @@@ {{1, 

      1}, {0, 2}, {1, 2}, {2, 2}, {3, 2}, {1, 3}}/4;

α = 0.;
Graphics3D[{EdgeForm[], Texture[cubemap], 
  Polygon[coords, VertexTextureCoordinates -> vtccm]}, 
 Lighting -> {{"Ambient", White}}, Boxed -> False, ViewAngle -> 1, 
 ViewCenter -> {1, 1, 1}/2, 
 ViewVector -> {1, 1, 1}/2 + {Cos[α], Sin[α], 0}/8, 
 RotationAction -> "Clip", ImageSize -> 500, 
 ViewVertical -> {0, 0, 1}]

There is no visible joints!

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

plotting - Magnifying Glass on a Plot

Although there is a trick in TEX magnifying glass but I want to know is there any function to magnifying glass on a plot with Mathematica ? For example for a function as Sin[x] and at x=Pi/6 Below, this is just a picture desired from the cited site. the image got huge unfortunately I don't know how can I change the size of an image here! Answer Insetting a magnified part of the original Plot A) by adding a new Plot of the specified range xPos = Pi/6; range = 0.2; f = Sin; xyMinMax = {{xPos - range, xPos + range}, {f[xPos] - range*GoldenRatio^-1, f[xPos] + range*GoldenRatio^-1}}; Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 5}, Epilog -> {Transparent, EdgeForm[Thick], Rectangle[Sequence @@ Transpose[xyMinMax]], Inset[Plot[f[x], {x, xPos - range, xPos + range}, Frame -> True, Axes -> False, PlotRange -> xyMinMax, ImageSize -> 270], {4., 0.5}]}, ImageSize -> 700] B) by adding a new Plot within a Circle mf = RegionMember[Disk[{xPos, f[xPos]}, {range, range/GoldenRatio}]] Show...
