Well, I was sick of static cubemaps, and their lack of ability to properly represent my scenes... so I decided to step up a bit -- generate a single cubemap after the environment was rendered. Simple, right? Apparently not.
Obviously, something is wrong there, the planet renders completely in-game... but the cubemap seems to be missing most of it! Oh no, what can we do!
Oh well.
But wait!
If I make it a whole model, it works! But... it's the other side of the planet -- it appears as though it was rendering it inverted... in the end, it doesn't matter, I get a nice image either way, but still...
