Working with Skyboxes.
Unless all six images load correctly, no skybox will be displayed. For this reason it is recommended to start with a working skybox, and change one texture at a time, testing each image one at a time. Colors are applied to this test world to assist in identifying left/right and front/back materials. Image size will be automatically scaled to fit. Maximum default image size for clients is 512 by 512 pixels. Power-of-two pixel dimensions are recommended, but not required. You will notice a thin black line in the corners, this is a bug.
