What exactly are you looking for? if you want the image to be mapped to each face of the cube, you'll have to lay out the UVs as such in the editor.

ya just map each face and u should be good...then just move each set of UV on each of the die pictures for your texture.

Didnt they explain that in that tutorial...its been a long time since ive seen that.

what kind of material are you using? Layered shaders don't appear correctly, for example.
