I think I understand. Thanks, Christian!

Sure, you have everything you need. You can get the pixel dimensions  
of the background face from 'w, h =  
pipmak.getimage("myface.jpeg"):size()', and the geometrical  
arrangement of the face images in 3D space is shown in figures 2 and 3  
in the manual. An edge of the cube is two units in normalized units  
and (w-1) or (h-1) in pixels, which gets you the scale factor, and as  
a fixed point you know that (w/2, h/2) in pixels is (0, 0, -1) in  
normalized coordinates (the center of the face), for face 1, and so on  
for the other faces as shown in figure 2.
