SceneKit - Map cube texture to box

You can get it to work with a custom geometry: create a cube (http://ronnqvi.st/custom-scenekit-geometry/ is a good place to get started) and you can add some custom texture mapping on top. It's a bit tricky to get the indices right (was for me), but at the end it worked fine:

func getSimpleCubeGeo() -> SCNGeometry {
    let halfSide = Float(0.5)

    /* The cube vertex are like:

        5---------4
       /.        /|
      / .       / |
     7---------6  |
     |  .      |  |
     |  .      |  |
     |  1......|..0
     | .       | /
     |.        |/
     3---------2

     */
    let _positions = [
        SCNVector3(x:-halfSide, y:-halfSide, z:  halfSide),
        SCNVector3(x: halfSide, y:-halfSide, z:  halfSide),
        SCNVector3(x:-halfSide, y:-halfSide, z: -halfSide),
        SCNVector3(x: halfSide, y:-halfSide, z: -halfSide),
        SCNVector3(x:-halfSide, y: halfSide, z:  halfSide),
        SCNVector3(x: halfSide, y: halfSide, z:  halfSide),
        SCNVector3(x:-halfSide, y: halfSide, z: -halfSide),
        SCNVector3(x: halfSide, y: halfSide, z: -halfSide),
    ]

    // points are tripled since they are each used on 3 faces
    // and there's no continuity in the UV mapping
    // so we need to duplicate the points
    //
    // we'll use the first third for the faces orthogonal to the X (left) axis,
