Hi guys, I am currently trying to texture a cardboard box I made (kinda new to texturing) and i have a 512x512 image but when i apply it, it comes up as a load of tiny tiled images. Are my settings wrong of something??

Heres a pic coz that wasn't very descriptive Razz .

You have to add a UV mapping modifier to your cube.
To add it select the cube, go to modifiers menu and click on the UVW map modifier.
There you can select the cubic method of mapping. Or other method it already depends on your needs and wants.

Here is a great 3ds max UV mapping tutorial:
