Tex.FromCubemapEquirectangular

static Tex FromCubemapEquirectangular(string equirectangularCubemap, bool sRGBData, int loadPriority)

Creates a cubemap texture from a single equirectangular image! You know, the ones that look like an unwrapped globe with the poles all stretched out. It uses some fancy shaders and texture blitting to create 6 faces from the equirectangular image.

   
string equirectangularCubemap Filename of the equirectangular image.
bool sRGBData Is this image color data in sRGB format, or is it normal/metal/rough/data that’s not for direct display? sRGB colors get converted to linear color space on the graphics card, so getting this right can have a big impact on visuals.
int loadPriority The priority sort order for this asset in the async loading system. Lower values mean loading sooner.
RETURNS: Tex A Cubemap texture asset! 
static Tex FromCubemapEquirectangular(string equirectangularCubemap, SphericalHarmonics& lightingInfo, bool sRGBData, int loadPriority)

Creates a cubemap texture from a single equirectangular image! You know, the ones that look like an unwrapped globe with the poles all stretched out. It uses some fancy shaders and texture blitting to create 6 faces from the equirectangular image.

   
string equirectangularCubemap Filename of the equirectangular image.
SphericalHarmonics& lightingInfo An out value that represents the lighting information scraped from the cubemap! This can then be passed to Renderer.SkyLight.
bool sRGBData Is this image color data in sRGB format, or is it normal/metal/rough/data that’s not for direct display? sRGB colors get converted to linear color space on the graphics card, so getting this right can have a big impact on visuals.
int loadPriority The priority sort order for this asset in the async loading system. Lower values mean loading sooner.
RETURNS: Tex A Cubemap texture asset!

Examples

Setting lighting to an equirect cubemap

Changing the environment’s lighting based on an image is a really great way to instantly get a particular feel to your scene! A neat place to find compatible equirectangular images for this is Poly Haven

Renderer.SkyTex   = Tex.FromCubemapEquirectangular("old_depot.hdr", out SphericalHarmonics lighting);
Renderer.SkyLight = lighting;

And here’s what it looks like applied to the default Material! Default Material example
