Description
Hi! I'm running [this scene (`SurfaceExample`)](https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/blob/04bfa221075166a00eaa11fc9e9f0757f56625d2/example_scenes/opengl.py#L447) in the OpenGL examples, and I'm unable to create the `OpenGLTexturedSurface` because the `Sphere` object is not of type `OpenGLSurface` and has no `uv_func` as far as I can see.
This is on `manim==0.18.0`, Python 3.12, Apple M1. I've tried downgrading `manim` (and Python) to `<0.18`, `<0.17`, since this was shown to be working [in this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeXBLPC1tns), but then started running into other issues when the latter installed `0.15.0`, so I've abandoned that for now.
Any help would be much appreciated — happy to PR any changes back to the examples!

Research direction
Start with SurfaceExample in example_scenes/opengl.py around line 447 and run the scene on the reported Manim version to reproduce the AttributeError. Trace how Sphere is passed to OpenGLTexturedSurface and compare the expected surface interface. Done means the example runs without the missing uv_func error.
