Single cube

I'm trying to make a 3D cube with video mapped to every side. When using "Cube tiles" I can get a 3d cube with the video mapped 4 times to each side in a 2x2 grid but I want it to be mapped only once per side. Is there a way of achieving this? Any other FFGL's that will do what I want? I've had a search but no luck. I'm on a mac and I tried doing this with quartz composer but it doesn't work for my purposes as I can only syphon the whole Resolume output into it rather than a single layer.

ffgl effects won't do mapping, your advanced output will.
slice up the composition, and place those slices on the sides of the cube.

If you are trying to animate a cube with multiple videos rather than map videos on a cube, you can also create multiple syphon outputs in the advanced output interface by creating Syphon screens and have each screen be a layer of your composition.

That way you will end up with multiple syphon that you can use in quartz composer and export your animation back to Resolume via Syphon.

sorry I wasn't clear, the cube is inside the resolume screen, NOT a real cube and I only have avenue. So still looking for FFGL's

I'm not familiar with avenue features,
in the advanced output in avenue, the screen output list doesn't include syphon?
You could route a layer to a slice and the screen to syphon I think.

edit: yes here it is: http://resolume.com/manual/en/r4/output ... ngs_avenue

It's taken a fair bit of fiddling but it's all working. I routed my layer to syphon and then to my quartz cube patch. Thanks a lot.
I still don't get why the cube tiles effect can't do just one video per side though, (maybe it's the "s" in the name) it feels like an extremely complicated way of doing something apparently simple. Resolume>syphon>quartz>Resolume when it could have been just Resolume!

I agree it should just be possible to have 1 video mapping per side not 4. Cube QTZ used to do it!
