Adding a Skybox Shader Program

Let’s continue by creating a vertex shader for our skybox. Create a new file in your raw resource folder called skybox_vertex_shader.glsl, and add the following contents:

Skybox/res/raw/skybox_vertex_shader.glsl
​ 
uniform mat4 u_Matrix;
​ 
attribute vec3 a_Position;
​ 
varying vec3 v_Position;
​ 
​ 
​void​ main()
​ 
{
​ 
v_Position = a_Position;
​ 
v_Position.z = -v_Position.z;
​ 
​ 
gl_Position = u_Matrix * vec4(a_Position, 1.0);
​ 
gl_Position = gl_Position.xyww;
​ 
}

First we pass on the vertex position to the fragment shader, as seen on the first line inside main, and then we invert the position’s z component on the next line; this gives the fragment shader a position that will be interpolated across each face of the cube so ...
