When imported, a cubemap is produced which can be used for skyboxes and reflections: See in Glossary of the imported texture to determine the most appopriate layout from SphereMap (spherical environment map) images can also be found:īy default Unity looks at the aspect ratio The relationship of an image’s proportional dimensions, such as its width and height. Vertical and horizontal cross layouts, as well as column and row of cubemap faces are supported:Īnother common layout is LatLong (Latitude-Longitude, sometimes called cylindrical). Several commonly-used cubemap layouts are supported (and in most cases, Unity detects them automatically). Unity then automatically sets the Texture up as a Cubemap. See in Glossary or Single Channel, and the Texture Shape to Cube. In the Import Settings, set the Texture Type to Default, Normal Map A type of Bump Map texture that allows you to add surface detail such as bumps, grooves, and scratches to a model which catch the light as if they are represented by real geometry. Select the Texture in the Project window A window that shows the contents of your Assets folder (Project tab) More info See in Glossary, to see the Import Settings in the Inspector A Unity window that displays information about the currently selected GameObject, asset or project settings, allowing you to inspect and edit the values. Textures are often applied to the surface of a mesh to give it visual detail. The fastest way to create cubemaps is to import them from specially laid out Textures An image used when rendering a GameObject, Sprite, or UI element.

Cubemapped skybox and reflections Creating Cubemaps from Textures

Skyboxes and environment reflections often use cubemaps. (up, down, left, right, forward and back).Ĭubemaps are often used to capture reflections or “surroundings” of objects for example Object each face represents the view along the directions of the world axes The six squares form the faces of an imaginary cube that surrounds an A Cubemap is a collection of six square textures that represent the
