Reflections, mainly. The cubemaps usage is to provide a complete environment for objects that need them much more accurate than the regular sphere mapping. Also, for shaders, they have sense because can automatically perform a 3d sample and use the correct mip mapping. And they store 6 textures on a single texture stage, so, you can use more textures, with some limitations, is a cheap texture array of 6 elements.

The reason why it is not yet in Irrlicht core is that we have had several extensions to the texture API (setting those material details, access to mipmaps, etc.) which always had to be added on top of this extension. And I didn't finish with this so far, even though cube maps were initially planned for 1.8 as well. But it might be not so far away to have this or a similar addition in Irrlicht core.

I used the version of irrlicht in the first post.
Does it work with the opengl driver?

Oh, it is nice to hear that! I really need the cubemaps integrated into Irrlich, so that I can continue my work on Realistic water scene node. What is the estimated release date of 1.8?

Yeah, should read 0x11, though, so in less than 5 years

Sometimes I wish I had no project to work on so I could help out on the engine. I get the feeling that it takes a special kind of drive to work on an engine, as its a seemingly unending project\process.

Still no progress here. Anyway it should be available in v1.9.

Cube maps are already implemented for OGL and OGL ES2 drivers (ogl-es branch). In upcoming days I'll add them to other drivers.

It's really sad it's 2014 and you still cant use a cubemap in direct3d Irrlicht version.

Yeah but only in trunk, If I used trunk I would lose features that I use in shader pipeline
