I was wondering, since there are quite a few templates for planes, torus, etc. If there was ever one made of a cube? Personaly I'm having trouble creating a (32x31 or atleast 16x15) cube without having the textures get all jumpy on me

You can turn a sphere into a cube with as little as three flatten commands -- one for each dimension. There will still be north and south "poles", but they will be in the middle of the flat top and bottom planes.

When you say "... without having the textures get all jumpy ...", I'm guessing you have been trying to make the cube by collapsing points to make some degenerate triangles. Its inherent in the nature of sculpties that degenerate triangles will cause texture mapping to "jump" whenever LOD changes.

Well actualy by 'jumpy' (pardon my english) I meant that the texture which is aplied to the object will stretch, so basicly I want all the vertexes to be at equal distance from eachother (Tighten command seems to turn the cube into a sphere again).

Edit:
It's all good now, managed to get a nicely textured and rounded square, thanks for your help
