public function RenderToCubemap(cubemap: Cubemap, faceMask: int = 63): bool;
public bool RenderToCubemap(Cubemap cubemap, int faceMask = 63);

Parameters

cubemap The cube map to render to.
faceMask A bitmask which determines which of the six faces are rendered to.

Returns

bool False is rendering fails, else true.

Description

Render into a static cubemap from this camera.

This function is mostly useful in the editor for "baking" static cubemaps of your scene. See wizard example below. If you want a realtime-updated cubemap, use RenderToCubemap variant that uses a RenderTexture with isCubemap flag, see below.

Camera's position, clear flags and clipping plane distances will be used to render into cubemap faces. faceMask is a bitfield indicating which cubemap faces should be rendered into. Each bit that is set corresponds to a face. Bit numbers are integer values of CubemapFace enum. By default all six cubemap faces will be rendered (default value 63 has six lowest bits on).

This function will return false if rendering to cubemap fails. Some graphics hardware does not support the functionality.

Note also that ReflectionProbes are a more advanced way of performing realtime reflections. Cubemaps can be created in the editor by selecting the Create->Legacy option.

See Also: Cubemap assets, Reflective shaders.

	// Place this script in Editor folder of your project.

public function RenderToCubemap(cubemap: RenderTexture, faceMask: int = 63): bool;
public bool RenderToCubemap(RenderTexture cubemap, int faceMask = 63);

Parameters

faceMask A bitfield indicating which cubemap faces should be rendered into.
cubemap The texture to render to.

Returns

bool False is rendering fails, else true.

Description

Render into a cubemap from this camera.

This is used for real-time reflections into cubemap render textures. It can be quite expensive though, especially if all six cubemap faces are rendered each frame.

The Camera's position, clear flags and clipping plane distances will be used to render into cubemap faces. faceMask is a bitfield indicating which cubemap faces should be rendered into. Each bit that is set corresponds to a face. Bit numbers are integer values of CubemapFace enum. By default all six cubemap faces will be rendered (default value 63 has six lowest bits on).

This function will return false if rendering to cubemap fails. Some graphics hardware does not support the functionality.

Note that the RenderTexture must have isCubemap set to true. This is illustrated in the example following.

See Also: RenderTexture.isCubemap, Reflective shaders.

	// Attach this script to an object that uses a Reflective shader.
	// Realtime reflective cubemaps!
