<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>Is Cubemap rendering a relevant feature for games nowadays?<br>If so which formats are used for that?</div><div><br></div><div>1) A single TGA/DDS/... file with six images [1]</div><div>
2) Individual images (left.tga, right.tga, ...)?<br></div><div><br></div><div>If the former (1) we could add Cube Map mode to the panorama camera in Cycles and for the Environment Texture node in the compositor.</div><div>
<br></div><div>The downside of this is that Cycles itself cannot yet be used baking. So I find a bit strange to have an envmap rendered with Cycles while the rest of the game textures will not.</div><div><br></div><div>If the latter (2) I will leave this for once multiview is merged in trunk. (note that I'm working in multiview only in my own free times, so that's not fast)</div>
