In order to run this example:

1. Download the [set of cubemaps](http://www.humus.name/Textures/Yokohama.zip)

2. Unzip the folder

3. Convert each .jpg to .png

    e.g. using `mogrify -format png *.jpg` etc.

    (`convert` is part of the imagemagick)

4. Copy all six png files (`negx.png`, `negy.png`, `negz.png`, `posx.png`, `posy.png`, `posz.png`) to `cube_maps/Yokohama`

5. Mirror `negx.png`, e.g. using `convert negx.png -flop negx.png`
