Anyone knows how to make the texture to be visible from the inner of a sphere? For example I have created a sphere and textured it with a sky map. The observer lies in the sphere. The problem is that the stars are visible only from outside the sphere. thanks

Don't enable backface culling, or change the front face vertex order (if it's GL_CW, change to GL_CCW, or the other way around).

this could be due to a few problems.

Are you doing backface culling? If so, you are culling the inner geometry of your skydome, and therefor there will be no texture applied to it.

Are you making sure you are setting your polygon mode correctly with glPolygonMode(GL_FILL, GL_FRONT_AND_BACK);?

Try those and see if you get any results
