A great demonstration Karsten, thanks.

I tried replacing the images you supplied with some containing text but the text came out reversed on the cube. Why was that?

Try rotating the the transforms starting on line 264 180 degrees to this:

<ModelVisual3D.Transform>

<Transform3DGroup.Children>

<RotateTransform3D.Rotation>

</RotateTransform3D.Rotation>

</RotateTransform3D>

<RotateTransform3D.Rotation>

</RotateTransform3D.Rotation>

</RotateTransform3D>

<TranslateTransform3D x:Name="myTranslateTransform"

OffsetX="0" OffsetY="0" OffsetZ="0" />

</Transform3DGroup.Children>

</Transform3DGroup>

</ModelVisual3D.Transform>

Thanks for replying, Karsten.

Your suggestion didn't work for me. I didn't make it clear that the text was a mirror image.

I got it the right way round by changing the texture co-ordinates for each side. Here's the revised code:

<MeshGeometry3D x:Key="CubeSide01"

...

TextureCoordinates="1,0 0,0 0,1 0,1 1,1 1,0 "

... />

<MeshGeometry3D x:Key="CubeSide02"

...

TextureCoordinates="0,0 0,1 1,1 1,1 1,0 0,0 "

... />

<MeshGeometry3D x:Key="CubeSide03"

...

TextureCoordinates="0,1 1,1 1,0 1,0 0,0 0,1 "

... />

<MeshGeometry3D x:Key="CubeSide04"

...

TextureCoordinates="0,1 1,1 1,0 1,0 0,0 0,1 "

... />

<MeshGeometry3D x:Key="CubeSide05"

...

TextureCoordinates="0,0 0,1 1,1 1,1 1,0 0,0 1,1 1,0 0,0 0,0 0,1 1,1 "

... />

<MeshGeometry3D x:Key="CubeSide06"

...

TextureCoordinates="0,1 1,1 1,0 1,0 0,0 0,1 "

... />

Thanks again.

>>When using loose XAML or XBAPs in an IFRAME, you will be sandboxed.<<

I just created a IFRAME+XBAP gadget w/ full trust permissions and it installed and executed w/o any more prompting than another one having only internet zone permissions. Is this expected behavior?

Timmy G. -- This is expected behavior because your XBAP is running from the filesystem. Were it to be installed from a server, you'd have to get the cert that signed the XBAP into the user's trusted publisher store. But when the XBAP is local, you are good to go. Kinda cool, no? Means you can do a lot more...
