Hi Faber,

Judging by the screenshot you posted from the VL properties of a 3D object, you can't. However, if you just want several other images as material on the 3D object (as opposed to hundreds of images), you could play around with the Texture Coordinates.

Suppose you would like to swap between 4 images, you could create 1 overall image as a quad containing all 4 images (so top left could be image 1, top right image 2, etc.) and use VL to manipulate the Texture Coordinates to cut out the desired section to use (don't forget to also adjust the Texture Scaling at design time).

Hi Faber,

You're welcome.
Of course this work around shouldn't be necessary, so I will take the liberty to enter this into Ross Ideas so we can hopefully benefit from this in a future release of XPression.
