UVW Mapping

I am still getting to grips with the tutorial that we did on Wednesday on UVW Mapping. I am following the youtube tutorial to try and work through it slowly to make a simple dice/box cut out like we watched in lesson.

I'm not sure whether I'm having problems because I'm trying to use the version of 3D Max on my laptop (which my laptop doesn't always agree with) and visually it is much easier to work with on the big screened macs. However I am getting there and learning the basics finally. I will do some more practises on objects, including my little house, before this part of advanced texturing gets used in my modelling work.
