Editing Cubemap Skybox from a remote image

Question

I need to download an image from the server, and then convert it to Cubemap and finally put this CubeMap in my Skybox.

I am working with C #.

I came up with this code:

public string url = "image/url.jpg";

void Update() {
    // When trigger, we start the process
    if (Input.GetKeyDown("f")) {

        // start Coroutine to handle the WWW asynchronous process
        StartCoroutine("setImage");
    }
}

IEnumerator setImage () {

    Texture2D tex;
    tex = new Texture2D(2048, 2048, TextureFormat.RGBA32, false);

    WWW www = new WWW(url);
    //Texture myGUITexture = Resources.Load("23") as Texture;

    Debug.Log (www.bytesDownloaded);
    Debug.Log (www.progress);
    Debug.Log (www.texture);

    yield return www;

    // we put the downloaded image into the new texture
    www.LoadImageIntoTexture(tex);

    // new cubemap 
    Cubemap c = new Cubemap(2048, TextureFormat.RGBA32, false);
    Color[] CubeMapColors;
    CubeMapColors = tex.GetPixels();
    c.SetPixels(CubeMapColors, CubemapFace.PositiveX);
    // we set the cubemap from the texture pixel by pixel
    c.Apply();

    //NewTexture.isPowerOfTwo = true;

    //Debug.Log (RenderSettings.skybox.GetTexture ("_Tex"));

    // We change the Cubemap of the Skybox
    RenderSettings.skybox.SetTexture("_Tex", c);
}

I commented on all the code to explain what I think I am doing.

I did this “trick” to create a Cubemap pixel by pixel, because the editor’s way to do this (which is incredibly simple, by the way) seems impossible from other posts that I could read.

In the end, the result was just gray gray pixels.

I really don't know what is to blame for my process, the only “shadow” point that I see is TextureFormat.
