I created a skybox for my project and it looks the way I wanted it to; however, there are a few issues I cannot figure out how to fix and I have read some tutorials on this subject, but I was not able to find something that would help me. The first problem is that I don’t know how to get the box to always move with my camera. I am able to rotate the camera to left or right only i can’t zoom out, zoom in, go up ,or down.
The second image that i encounter is thee planets aren’t appear inside the skybox.here’s the sky box and how it appears without the planets

i’ve tried to render the skybox first then the planet’s but actually the plaent’s appeared without the lighting, texture, and the skybox, however the planets are appearing coorrectly with the light and the texture on it in another project.
