How to put images on a vector box and image follows it?

Hello friends . Today I tried to place four images on the surfaces of the 3D box I created in Moho, but I didn't succeed. I tried to make the box with 2D vector and rotated it 360° by action But I could not put pictures and textures on the surface of this new cube. When I added the photo as a texture, it didn't move with the box. How can I put an image on the four sides of the box and make it move with it? I converted the box to a 2D mesh, but the program didn't know on which surface the image should be placed.

Image textures only move with bone influence, so you need to use quad meshes. Here I've used a single quad mesh that I've referenced for each side, so I could animate the points from a single layer. Then I sorted the layers as needed during the rotation.
If this is too complex, you can also construct a 3D box by rotating and aligning 6 2D vector layers. In this case, image texture will work, since you're only moving the layers.

Glad to help.
You have to host your image somewhere, like Dropbox, and then copy the share link here, in between [img ][/img ] tags.
I usually use
https://imgbb.com/ to host my images nowadays, and the "BBcode full linked" you can just paste here, as it already has the img tags.

You need to select "BBcode full linked" from the dropdown on imgBB to get the forum code.
EDIT: Ah, you found it. Odd that the gif isn't animated through. Might be too large.

Yep, it's the file size. I took it over to EZgif, cropped it and reduced it to 75%. Reduced 1.78 MB down to 977 KB. Now imgBB is happy with it.
Nice results, BTW.

Wow, thank you very much, I'll crop from now on to reduce the size. Eeeeee!

I cropped it and also reduced the size. Under 1 MB might be the magic number.

The saw it moves much easier than. did you use the pattern of an opened box? Like this ? You did it much faster

I just found an image of a box online an skewed/stretched duplicates of it to fit each side. That's why frame zero looks so odd.
The vectors are all connected. Not folded up from being unwrapped.

Oh, so there was a box with three surfaces and you made the other two yourself. It's an interesting way

. I had used a 3D obj and moved the shape by bone XD in x and Y and moved the vectors according to the shape, it was very difficult to me. Also my points was separate .Thank you for taking the time to help me and shared your Experience to me

I'll do it with your method
