[Solved] Skybox config issue

[Snouto]

Hi guys

I've just set up a regular ol'skybox for my scene exported from blender. The scene has a scale of 10 along the X and Y and 5 along the Z in blender. The skybox code is as follows;

var skybox = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateBox("skyBox", 100.0, scene);
                var skyboxMaterial = new BABYLON.StandardMaterial("skyBox", scene);
                skyboxMaterial.backFaceCulling = false;
                skyboxMaterial.reflectionTexture = new BABYLON.CubeTexture("textures/skybox", scene);
                skyboxMaterial.reflectionTexture.coordinatesMode = BABYLON.Texture.SKYBOX_MODE;
                skyboxMaterial.diffuseColor = new BABYLON.Color3(0, 0, 0);
                skyboxMaterial.specularColor = new BABYLON.Color3(0, 0, 0);
                skyboxMaterial.disableLighting = true;
                skybox.material = skyboxMaterial;
                skybox.renderingGroupId = 0;

So far, so ordinary. The problem is when babylon renders the scene. With a particular zoom of the camera (camera is also exported from blender btw) it appears like the attached. Normally there's no issue using the skybox code shown above, this is the first time i'm seeing something weird. i thought maybe the 100.0 value in the createBox constructor was too small and so the camera was clipping part of the cube, but increasing it above 100 just makes the black area larger until it envelopes all. Reducing that number makes the cube smaller to the point where it's visible as a cube in the scene, which obviously isn't ideal.

Am I missing something obvious here?

Cheers!

Hi @Snouto

Check your camera maxZ. If it is too small, increase it, something like this.

scene.activeCamera.maxZ = 1000;

Excellent that got it, thank you! I knew there was something simple I was missing
