    @brief
        The SkyboxGenerator class is a singleton that allows for the creation of a skybox from a level by taking pictures to all 6 sides.
        The 6 images created by the createSkybox() method are placed in the log folder in your build directory.
        
        The image filename prefix and the file extension can both be adjusted as config values, so can the desired size of the skybox faces.
