I’m relatively new to vtk.js but I’m trying to implement a simple skybox. That wasn’t working so I created a cube, which works when applying a texture created from a canvas. However, I’m trying to apply images but only two sides of the cube render an image. The skybox doesn’t seem to render at all with images or a simple canvas. I’m somewhat lost down the rabbit hole missing something simple and would appreciate some direction. I created a code pen that should be a 6-sided textured cube in a skybox but is rendered as a two sided textured cube and no skybox [here](https://codepen.io/James-Miller-the-bold/pen/ZEgvjqM).
