java - LibGDX 0.9.9 - Apply cubemap in environment

Question

I am using LibGDX 0.9.9. I am trying to render cubemap and fog. So my code snippet below:

public void show() {
    modelBatch = new ModelBatch();
    environment = new Environment();
    environment.set(new ColorAttribute(ColorAttribute.AmbientLight, 1.0f, 0.4f, 0.4f, 1f));

    environment.set(new ColorAttribute(ColorAttribute.Fog, 0.9f, 1f, 0f, 1f));
    environment.add(new DirectionalLight().set(0.8f, 0.8f, 0.8f, -1f, -0.8f, -0.2f));

    cubemap = new Cubemap(Gdx.files.internal("cubemap/pos-x.png"), 
                Gdx.files.internal("cubemap/neg-x.png"), 
                Gdx.files.internal("cubemap/pos-y.png"), 
                Gdx.files.internal("cubemap/neg-y.png"), 
                Gdx.files.internal("cubemap/pos-z.png"), 
                Gdx.files.internal("cubemap/neg-z.png"));
    environment.set(new CubemapAttribute(CubemapAttribute.EnvironmentMap, cubemap));

    cam = new PerspectiveCamera(67, Gdx.graphics.getWidth(), Gdx.graphics.getHeight());
    cam.position.set(1f, 1f, 1f);
    cam.lookAt(0,0,0);
    cam.near = 0.1f;
    cam.far = 300f;
    cam.update();

    ModelLoader loader = new ObjLoader();

    model = loader.loadModel(Gdx.files.internal("earth/earth.obj"));


    instance = new ModelInstance(model);



    NodePart blockPart = model.nodes.get(0).parts.get(0);

    renderable = new Renderable();
    blockPart.setRenderable(renderable);
    renderable.environment = environment;
    renderable.worldTransform.idt();        

    renderContext = new RenderContext(new DefaultTextureBinder(DefaultTextureBinder.WEIGHTED, 1));

    shader = new DefaultShader(renderable);
    shader.init();

    camController = new CameraInputController(cam);
    Gdx.input.setInputProcessor(camController);
}

@Override
public void render(float delta) {
camController.update();

    Gdx.gl.glViewport(0, 0, Gdx.graphics.getWidth(), Gdx.graphics.getHeight());
    Gdx.gl.glClearColor(0, 0, 0, 1);
    Gdx.gl.glClear(GL20.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL20.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);

    renderContext.begin();
    shader.begin(cam, renderContext);

    shader.render(renderable);
    shader.end();
    renderContext.end();
}

But nothing happens. I see object only. What am I doing wrong?

After spending some time, I implemented cube map in LibGDX. Perhaps, it's not ideal solution, but there is nothing more (At least I couldn't find anything). So, I used native OpenGL ES functions and LibGDX. My class is below:

public class EnvironmentCubemap implements Disposable{

protected final Pixmap[] data = new Pixmap[6];  
protected ShaderProgram shader;

protected int u_worldTrans;
protected Mesh quad;
private Matrix4 worldTrans;
private Quaternion q;

protected String vertexShader = " attribute vec3 a_position; 
"+
        " attribute vec3 a_normal; 
"+
        " attribute vec2 a_texCoord0; 
"+          
        " uniform mat4 u_worldTrans; 
"+                   
        " varying vec2 v_texCoord0; 
"+
        " varying vec3 v_cubeMapUV; 
"+            
        " void main() { 
"+
        "     v_texCoord0 = a_texCoord0;     
"+
        "     vec4 g_position = u_worldTrans * vec4(a_position, 1.0); 
"+
        "     v_cubeMapUV = normalize(g_position.xyz); 
"+
        "     gl_Position = vec4(a_position, 1.0); 
"+
        " } 
";

protected String fragmentShader = "#ifdef GL_ES 
"+
        " precision mediump float; 
"+
        " #endif 
"+           
        " uniform samplerCube u_environmentCubemap; 
"+            
        " varying vec2 v_texCoord0; 
"+
        " varying vec3 v_cubeMapUV; 
"+            
        " void main() {      
"+
        "   gl_FragColor = vec4(textureCube(u_environmentCubemap, v_cubeMapUV).rgb, 1.0);   
"+
        " } 
";

public String getDefaultVertexShader(){
    return vertexShader;
}

public String getDefaultFragmentShader(){
    return fragmentShader;
}

public EnvironmentCubemap (Pixmap positiveX, Pixmap negativeX, Pixmap positiveY, Pixmap negativeY, Pixmap positiveZ, Pixmap negativeZ) {

     shader = new ShaderProgram(vertexShader, fragmentShader);
        if (!shader.isCompiled())
            throw new GdxRuntimeException(shader.getLog());

     u_worldTrans = shader.getUniformLocation("u_worldTrans");

     quad = createQuad();      
     worldTrans = new Matrix4();         
     q = new Quaternion();

     initCubemap();

}



public void render(Camera camera){

    //SPECIAL THANKS TO Jos van Egmond 
    camera.view.getRotation( q, true );
    q.conjugate();
    ///////////////////////////////////    
    worldTrans.idt();
    worldTrans.rotate(quaternion);

    shader.begin();     
    shader.setUniformMatrix(u_worldTrans, worldTrans.translate(0, 0, -1));

    quad.render(shader, GL20.GL_TRIANGLES);
    shader.end();
}

public Mesh createQuad(){
    Mesh mesh = new Mesh(true, 4, 6, VertexAttribute.Position(), VertexAttribute.  ColorUnpacked(), VertexAttribute.TexCoords(0));
        mesh.setVertices(new float[] 
        {-1f, -1f, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1,
        1f, -1f, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,
        1f, 1f, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0,
        -1f, 1f, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0});
        mesh.setIndices(new short[] {0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 0});
        return mesh;
}

@Override
public void dispose() {
    shader.dispose();
    quad.dispose();
    for(int i=0; i<6; i++) 
        data[i].dispose();
}

}

How to use it? Just create instance of it:

EnvironmentCubemap envCubemap = new EnvironmentCubemap(Gdx.files.internal("cubemap/pos-x.png"), Gdx.files.internal("cubemap/neg-x.png"), 
            Gdx.files.internal("cubemap/pos-y.jpg"), Gdx.files.internal("cubemap/neg-y.jpg"), 
            Gdx.files.internal("cubemap/pos-z.png"), Gdx.files.internal("cubemap/neg-z.png"));

or

EnvironmentCubemap envCubemap = new EnvironmentCubemap(new Pixmap(Gdx.files.internal("cubemap/all_in_one.jpg")));

and then use its render method:

envCubemap.render(camera);

I hope it helps someone else!
