[PD] [GEM] UV map for model or vertex-array ??

[olme]

hello,

I'm working on a project I want to show at the Shunt, London, in end of 
april...
I'm trying to play video files and streams as texture on custom 3d 
surfaces...
The features I need for this are nearly all there with Gem but I still 
cannot get one thing : simple UV mapping on imported obj models. All I 
got is linear texturing, thus it is of no use (exept for some 
experiments with moving line patern, ... interresting but ... already 
done that years ago, not my taste today).
the material parameter or any other documented in the help of [model] 
did not helped... (the obj file has a mtl file, exported from blender).

looking at the archives, I don't understand if it's possible or not, or 
if it is a future feature not already implemented... (although for me 
it's quite a standart feature I "thought" that "normaly" should be there 
in a 3d package...)
one mail pointed toward the [vertex_array] object in the CVS, but this 
date from 2006... and it's not in the PD-extended release...

can anybody tell more on that today, is it implemented or not, in which 
distrib., or do we have to wait for [vertex_array] or any other objects 
to be released ... ??

I'm trying also to use blender game engine (then with some osc <-> pd 
communication), but actualy, the video texture plugins still don't 
builds and works on linux ...

I'm in a dead end actualy, if anybody could help ...

for the story : as I was trying to get the texture right in my pd patch, 
I was also working with blender... and of course murphy came along, and 
the video texture playing in pd-Gem showed ... in my blender window, 
maped on the object fighting with the picture map I had...... altough 
neither the gem nor the blender plugin works correctly...
Sometime, it's ... funny... hum ... (some gl memory share I suppose )

thanks a lot,

Olm-e
