The following script loads a cube map as a skybox environment texture and plots a metallic sphere with PBR.
env_texture.py (2.8 KB)
cubemap_park.zip (592.7 KB)
Usage: download script and unzip cubemap files. Then run
python env_texture.py cubemap_park
With vtk==9.5.2, we get this image, where the reflection is showing what’s behind the camera. This appears correct to me.
But with vtk==9.6.0rc2, we get this instead, where the reflection is showing the same contents as the foreground image.
This seems like a regression, but I am not sure… maybe someone can comment on whether this is a bug or is intentional?
By installing the dev wheels, I was able to confirm that we get the first image with vtk==9.5.20250830.dev0, and we get the second with vtk-9.5.20250913.dev0, so the change occurred between Aug 30 and Sept 13.
I think perhaps this commit may be the cause of the change?

I believe it was committed to master Sep 8.
