Then create a mesh cube using Create->Mesh->Cube and assign the AprilTag material to that prim

The material has the following parameters which need to be configured:

Mosaic texture The path to the texture that contains the grid of April tag images
Tag Size The width/height of the tag in pixels
Tags Per Row The number of tag images per row in the mosaic
Spacing The number of padding pixels between each tag image
Tag ID The index of the tag to use.

Some sample mosaic textures are provided in /Isaac/Materials/AprilTag/Textures/
