Hello,

Here is an example to start with:

> [@Convert text to PShape?](https://discourse.processing.org/t/convert-text-to-pshape/15552/2):

> Hello, [https://processing.org/reference/PShape.html](https://processing.org/reference/PShape.html)[https://processing.org/reference/PImage.html](https://processing.org/reference/PImage.html)[https://processing.org/reference/texture\_.html](https://processing.org/reference/texture_.html)[https://processing.org/reference/textureMode\_.html](https://processing.org/reference/textureMode_.html) From the references above I was able to: // https://processing.org/reference/PGraphics.html // https://processing.org/reference/texture\_.html PGraphics pg; PImage pi; public void settings() { size(400, 400, P3D); } public void setup() { pg = createGraphics(100, 100); pg.begin…

This will work for a cube as well.

You will have to add a _z_ to the vertices and align your _uv_ coordinates correctly.

I just did it for one face and rotated so you could see it:

There is a an example in the Processing IDE here:

Walk through the code and explore the tutorials and references as necessary.

One of the best tools in a programmers tool chest is knowing the resources available to you and learning to navigate, filter and use them.

This is a very short list:

> **Resources \< Click here to expand !**

> I encourage you to review the resources available here:
> 
> - The Processing _website_ has references, examples, tutorials, etc.  
> [https://processing.org/](https://processing.org/)
> - The Processing PDE (IDE) has lots to offer!  
> An exploration of the tabs will reveal what is available; libraries, tools and local examples there.
> - The Coding Train

> [https://thecodingtrain.com/](https://thecodingtrain.com/)
> - Happy Coding  
> [Processing Tutorials - Happy Coding](https://happycoding.io/tutorials/processing/)
> - The source code can give insight if you are adventurous:  
> [GitHub - processing/processing: Source code for the Processing Core and Development Environment (PDE)](https://github.com/processing/processing)  
> Many of the Processing functions are here:  
> [processing/core/src/processing/core/PApplet.java at master · processing/processing · GitHub](https://github.com/processing/processing/blob/master/core/src/processing/core/PApplet.java)
> - The Processing Foundation  
> [https://processingfoundation.org/](https://processingfoundation.org/)  
> Check out the tabs.  
> In the education tab, there is a reference to the Coding Train.
> - And the Internet. `:)`

I expect that there are other ways to do this as well.

I will leave the rest of the exploration to you.
