Hi, I have cubemap textures that consist of 6 individual TGA or DDS files. It seems that it currently only can load cubetextures from 6 individual files if the browser supports the filetype. Is this correct? > **[Babylon.js Playground](https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#UU7RQ%234202)** > > Babylon.js playground is a live editor for Babylon.js WebGL and WebGPU 3D scenes Is there a way to work around this? Can I make a `CubeTexture` from 6 individual `Texture` objects? ---

Sorry I do not get the question ๐Ÿ™‚ Your PG seems to work ---

Sorry, i shoulve explained the playground a bit more. The skybox should show something instead of being black. The cube in the middle just shows that the same dds texture does work in non-cubetexture context. Comment line 14 to see what it should be. ---

Ok so I know what is going on: the DDS decoder (or any decoder) are not invoked from the CubeTexture loader side. ---

Not a bug per se. Simply not a supported feature ---

Is there an internal code path I could take to make this work? ---

Unforhttps://forum.babylonjs.com/t/cubetexture-from-6-tga-dds-files/54645/8tunately this would be complex. The current cubeTexture relies on the canvas to decode the image: [Babylon.js/packages/dev/core/src/Engines/Extensions/engine.cubeTexture.ts at 22e2e0a97d2fb341deb5e73551d2eb20ebac4b9d ยท BabylonJS/Babylon.js](https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/blob/22e2e0a97d2fb341deb5e73551d2eb20ebac4b9d/packages/dev/core/src/Engines/Extensions/engine.cubeTexture.ts#L252) That being said, you can pack a full cube texture inside a DDS so maybe this is the way to go for you?

Iโ€™m kinda stuck with external assets. Iโ€™ll just use the 6 individual textures and combine them in shader. Wonโ€™t give a perfect result, but should be good enough in my case. ---

Rally sorry about that:(
