I am attempting to use Sean O'Neil's shaders to accomplish atmospheric scattering. For now I am just using SkyFromSpace and GroundFromSpace. The atmosphere works fine but the planet itself is just a giant dark sphere with a white blotch that follows the camera. I think the problem might rest in the "v3Attenuation" variable as when this is removed the sphere is show (albeit without scattering). Here is the vertex shader. Thanks for the time!

uniform mat4 g_WorldViewProjectionMatrix;
uniform mat4 g_WorldMatrix;
uniform vec3 m_v3CameraPos;     // The camera's current position
uniform vec3 m_v3LightPos;      // The direction vector to the light source
uniform vec3 m_v3InvWavelength; // 1 / pow(wavelength, 4) for the red, green, and blue channels
uniform float m_fCameraHeight;  // The camera's current height
uniform float m_fCameraHeight2; // fCameraHeight^2
uniform float m_fOuterRadius;       // The outer (atmosphere) radius
uniform float m_fOuterRadius2;  // fOuterRadius^2
uniform float m_fInnerRadius;       // The inner (planetary) radius
uniform float m_fInnerRadius2;  // fInnerRadius^2
uniform float m_fKrESun;            // Kr * ESun
uniform float m_fKmESun;            // Km * ESun
uniform float m_fKr4PI;         // Kr * 4 * PI
uniform float m_fKm4PI;         // Km * 4 * PI
uniform float m_fScale;         // 1 / (fOuterRadius - fInnerRadius)
uniform float m_fScaleDepth;        // The scale depth (i.e. the altitude at which the atmosphere's average density is found)
uniform float m_fScaleOverScaleDepth;   // fScale / fScaleDepth

vec3 secondary = v3Attenuate;

// ^^ that color is passed to the frag shader and is used as the gl_FragColor
