photoshop plugins: Cubic Environment Mapping Description

Environment mapping is essentially a fake but relatively fast way to give the illusion of surface Reflection. There are two common approaches: spherical and cubic mapping. The first maps the environment texture surrounding the scene on a Sphere before mapping it onto the surface, the latter does it using a cube. Spherical mapping is usually faster and easier to use (it only requires 1 or 2 textures instead of one for every face of the cube), but sadly it doesn’t look very natural on a flat surface. Cubic mapping, on the other hand, looks better and is more commonly used these days. For more information, check this article on wikipedia.
