Using three.js I was able to successfully create a webpage animation of a rotating orange central sphere with a rotating blue sphere orbiting around it. This was the first step in trying to create a solar system. In an attempt to make the blue sphere into the earth using the map property, in the same way as others have mapped images onto shapes using:
map: THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture('textures/land_ocean_ice_cloud_2048.jpg')
The sphere instead disappears. I am sure that the photo is in the correct directory. What could be causing problems?
