A Interesting Babylon Quirk

[gryff]

I ran across this by accident while changing values in a BABYLON.Vector3() and not noticing what I was actually doing.

 

Best way to describe it is to say take Tutorial 15 - The Skybox and Fog tut.

 

Change this line :

skyboxMaterial.backFaceCulling = false;

to

skyboxMaterial.backFaceCulling = true;

and then add this line

skybox.scaling = new BABYLON.Vector3(-1, 1, 1);

This additional line flips the box faces that are visualised to the interior ones.

 

Now it does appear to flip the skybox textures along the x-axis, but you can compensate for that by fliping the textures in a graphics program.

 

A quirk or undocumented bug - or perhaps undocumented feature? ;-)

 

cheers, gryff

This is definitely a quirk because you are allowed to scale negatively even if it produces weird result
