And it looks like this link wil give me the UV coordinates. However, from the sounds of it, it could be improved.
Google says maybe a cubemap might be best for geosphere/icosahedron texturing. Not quite sure how to apply a cubemap. Could hack it out on a cube pretty easy, but a geosphere? Lost. If anyone's got a ready tutorial, it would be appreciated.
And, indexing an icosahedron. Need to know how to automatically generate indices for a subdivided icosahedron - Or maybe just for a triangle subdivided in four.

vertices = new Vertex[ 12 ] {
new Vertex( vp = new Vector3F( -X, 0, Z ), vp, Vector2F.Zero ),
new Vertex( vp = new Vector3F( X, 0, Z ), vp, Vector2F.Zero ),
new Vertex( vp = new Vector3F( -X, 0, -Z ), vp, Vector2F.Zero ),
new Vertex( vp = new Vector3F( X, 0, -Z ), vp, Vector2F.Zero ),
new Vertex( vp = new Vector3F( 0, Z, X ), vp, Vector2F.Zero ),

for (int i = 0 ; i < indices.Length ; i += 3 )
{
Vector3F one = Vector3F.Zero, two = Vector3F.Zero, normal ;
for ( int j = 0; j < 3 ; ++j )
{
one[j] =
vertices[ indices[ i + 0 ] ].VertexPosition[ j ] -
vertices[ indices[ i + 1 ] ].VertexPosition[ j ] ;
two[j] =
vertices[ indices[ i + 1 ] ].VertexPosition[ j ] -
vertices[ indices[ i + 2 ] ].VertexPosition[ j ] ;
}
normal = Vector3F.Cross( one.Normalized( ), two.Normalized( ) ) ;
vertices[ indices[ i ] ].VertexNormal = normal ;
}
Thanks.
