2D texture

Need a bit more info before we can help you. What platform? Windows? What library? DirectX? OpenGL? Are you using C++?

You can definitely make a cube and texture it, using DX or openGL, if that's what you're asking.

Give us some more details, and I'm sure you'll find a solution.

I am using VC++ 6 and OpenGL 1.1 and glut library. Well I have rendered the images as 2D texture, so machine is not the concern,

I wanted to know, suppose now you have 136* 136 * 136 (this is a cubic grid but it can be any structure -- all i know the locattion (x,y,z) and the value at that point) grid points and you calculate the color of that point based on the data value at that point. If i render these points the operations like translation, rotation, clipping are too slow .... so I wanted to know how can I render these as textures (like 136 2D textures in this case).

Are you taling about render-to-texture and having it transparent everywhere except for where the points are?
That could work, but it depends on whether you change your viewing angle to view from the side.
You couldn't render to texture every frame or it would be slower not faster.
Sorry I haven't used the API you mention so I can't help there.
