public class SkyBox
extends javax.media.j3d.Shape3D

This class can be used to create a SkyBox to hold the background image. It creates this SkyBox together with the required texture coordinates. A texture is expected which contains six tiles right beside another. These tiles have to contain the following images for the faces of the SkyBox: left, front, right, back, top and bottom (from left to right). Different to other 3D objects here the texture coordinates are created in every case.
