Hello guys, I have some issues concerning my sphere material. I try to put a pokeball texture on a sphere but it doesnt render as I expected. I put 3 photos : my code, the texture and the render so you can better understand my problem. Thanks for help

Maybe you hav wrong UV or texture repeating settings or your texture need to be a square. I set your texture here  
[https://threejs.org/examples/physics\_ammo\_volume.html](https://threejs.org/examples/physics_ammo_volume.html)  
Texture 256x256:
