How can I use png files in a CubeTexture

[Vorion]

Hi,

I tried to follow the tutorial to manually create a skybox using 6 single texture files:

https://doc.babylonjs.com/babylon101/environment#skybox

There it says I can use png files for that, but when I look in the browser console, there are just error messages saying that it can't find the skybox_px.jpg etc.

Is there a way to use png files, because jpg files can look really ugly in a skybox :). Following the link to eternal coding for the standard materials, it only mentions "jpg" files for CubeTexture.

Also there seems to be a little error in the tutorial, where it says

"In that /skybox directory, we must find 6 sky textures, one for each face of our box. Each image must be named per the corresponding face: “skybox_nx.png”, “skybox_ny.png”, “skybox_nz.png”, “skybox_px.png”, “skybox_py.png”, “skybox_pz.png”."

but before it was declared as

skyboxMaterial.reflectionTexture = new BABYLON.CubeTexture("textures/skybox", scene);

When using "textures/skybox", Babylon looks for skybox_xx.jpg files directly in the textures folder, so it's a bit misleading. Maybe just change that to "textures/skybox/skybox", than the description will be ok.

Thanks

EDIT: Sorry, posted a bit prematurely, I should have used the search on the forum a bit more, found the answer here:
