Hi,
Love the Globe Materials Tutorial.  I found a strange bug though. 

When preview the program from the webpage it all works well except that the skybox is missing.

I’ve also put the skybox code into a program I’m writing and found it didn’t work their either.  However after shrinking the textures from 1k to 512 pixels it all worked fine.

Just thought this might be a bug?

I can post code if you like, but the same thing occurs with the tutorial swf’s online. 

I’m running chrome on a MacBook pro.

Just wondering if anyone else has bumped into this?

I actually encountered the same issue when I was doing skyboxes too.

I took a look though the code and from what I can tell the CubeMap texture that it uses compiles the whole skybox onto one large texture before it sends it to the GPU.

Looks like Away3D lays out a cubemap texture something like this.

Or something very similar. With each square being a different side of the cube map.

So if your texture is 512*512 then the dimension of the cubemap is 2048*2048 which is the maximum texture size. If the texture is any larger then 512*512 then the cubemap texture is too large and simply fails silently.

I could be wrong but I suspect that that is the issue.

I have a skybox f5 and 2 normal sky boxes, you can make your trip safe by motorhome hire when the sky box is switched on in my room and the lnb wire is inside some channels on the skybox f5 such aa espn hd or skysports 3 hd stop working properly or have very bad signal and a bad picture , get your own luxury motorhome hire anyone know how to fix this issue because im getting a second skybox f5 for my room and i would like to use both boxes at the same time with no issues thanks.please have look at our motorhomes for hire

Heater, you probably need one of these…

Or one of these

But most of all, you should try a different forum, this is a very different type of “Skybox”...
