#### QUESTION... What is the right way to map texture using anglr?
# here I attempt to use an RGB raster and a png file... neither work...

texture_rgb <- gdalio_raster(gdalwebsrv::server_file('wms_virtualearth'),
                             band_output_type='Int32', bands=1:3)
# raster::plotRGB(texture_rgb) # works nice...

temp_tex <- tempfile(fileext = '.png')
png::writePNG(texture, 'dev_tests/img.png') # also works nicely. but numbers not 0-255 - rescaling screws things up and still won't plot with anglr.

# What's the write approach for building the mesh with texture?
.mesh2 <- anglr::as.mesh3d(topo_mat, image_texture=texture_rgb) # ERROR
.mesh3 <- anglr::as.mesh3d(topo_mat, image_texture=temp_tex)
# anglr::plot3d(.mesh2)

That's great, thank you so much!
